Oh goodness...I can understand...I am sorry for your divorce, but more importantly, I am sorry you are going through this depression. It is good that you can call it like it is: depression....that is the first step to recovery...so many people deny that and never get help.
The one thing I would suggest is walking...I know it sounds crazy (don't stop reading this!) and I don't really know if you can since you are going through therapy. But making yourself get up and get out there will do something for you. You will feel better for a little while. It does help. Being cooped up in the house will only make things worse.
I know, because I have been there...and actually am there now again. I don't want to take care of myself, I do only the bare minimum. But I find, if I take the time to get ready, fix my hair and put on make up, I feel better even if it is just a trip to wal mart.
I myself am planning to go the doctor this week and get some help i.e. some meds. They usually help, they have in the past.
I hope you will see a doctor soon and get some help...
I too am facing a very unhappy marriage and we have separated. He came back a month ago, but I still feel unhappy. It's like I don't want to be married to him but I don't want to not be married either. It sucks I tell you! I only take one day at time right now and am looking forward to tomorrow so that I can get an appointment with a doctor.
Please let me know if you want to talk...feel free to do so!
