Sad and Depressed

The feelings of sadness are overwhelming. Here is some advice from therapists.

  • Cry. Let yourself cry. This is a healthy response and will be a stage in healing.
  • Mourn. Allow yourself to mourn the loss of the marriage itself, the stability, the shelter, the social acceptance, the "coupleness," and so on. If you don't permit the mourning, you may get "stuck" with thoughts of getting back together when your other spouse has already moved on.
  • Face the Past. Admit that you once loved this person (if true) and that you had hopes. Put the hopes for the marriage to rest with gentleness.
  • Try to Fight Depression. Feelings of loss and worthlessness are common. They occur especially, around the hours of 6 to 8 PM, which are family time and children time. Sometimes, The feeling is "how can I have been so stupid as to marry him or her," which leads to a defeatist feeling of, "I'll probably be just as stupid again." Try to focus on learning from your experiences.
