[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Thanks for sharing, seems pretty bleak for me right now as I go through the process...[/quote]

Hang in there.  It gets better.  I was badly depressed throughout my separation.  I didn’t want the divorce and after 20 years of marriage, I felt like I was in free fall.  I wasn’t exactly happy when the divorce was finalized, but a huge weight lifted from my shoulders.  Things continue to get better, even though I will always be at least a little sad about all of it.  It was the uncertainty that did me in – it was truly the lowest point in my life.  So once the uncertainty was resolved, my brain was able to stop spinning with a million if/then scenarios.  I find myself enjoying things again.  I’m rebuilding my life and I’m really proud of how well I handled myself.  At the outset, I promised myself that I wouldn’t do anything that would cause me to cringe in retrospect and, however silly it sounds, it really helped.

The initial weeks/months were bleak, but the only way out is through.  It’s trite, but true.  A good therapist helps a lot.  [/quote]
