Dealing with Anxiety and Depression After Divorce and Loss

Prax

I am 50 years old. Divorced 3 years ago, out of a very psychologically abusive marriage. I also lost my dad in November 2021. I am bouncing around living with different friends while the estate is in flux (parental home needs to sale, and probate). I’ve had anxiety and depression issues since middle school, but my marriage caused both to skyrocket. I currently don’t have health insurance and am not able to get my meds or go to therapy. Every day is a major battle. I want to be better, healthier, happy, and content, especially for my two teenage kids. Any texts recommended? How do others deal in a similar situation to mine?

      For me I trust my God. I have anxiety and I fight through it and tell myself that I’m making a mountain out of a mole hill. If you want to talk just text me back

      I’d like to talk to others, but at the same time I am very hesitant. I feel terribly lonely going through all of this. I know better than to get in a relationship now. I need to learn how to be happy by myself. But I so badly want to talk to others with similar issues, maybe get some understanding, tips, ideas, friendship.

      I would recommend looking into the healthcare marketplace, it might be more affordable than you think. Hang in there!

        @Winston I never could find anything less than $500/m in my state.

      Check out your county mental health dept. Bring your income tax return as their fee is based on it. If you are under a certain income their services are free. Every county every state in usa has one.

        @JDB1937 I don’t have transportation right now and public transportation is in an extremely poor state here. I feel like I’m being negative. I feel there are solutions and I’m not willing to see them. Right now, I have no income, no way to get around, no phone, etc, etc.

      I'm always looking to help others that have or had similar situations as myself. I've been through so much in my life that I have learned many life lessons not only my experiences but through the experiences of others. If you'd like to talk about anything I've experienced loss heartache depression anxiety and I have learned pretty much how to navigate my feelings much more than I did when I was a young man. I like to keep my life simple and positive.
