...See more My wife of 10 years , we’ve been together for close to 20, left me yesterday. she left for work at 5am and sent me a text at 525am saying she wanted a divorce and that she’d be by after work to pack a bag and that she needs a few days before we talk. I didn’t see the message until I woke up around 7 to get ready for work. So I was in total shock. Tried calling her but straight to voicemail. i took a pto day yesterday and today. she came home after work, packed a bag, we talked a little but she hurriedly left. I texted her this morning, she said she’d let me know when she’s ready to come home and talk. our marriage had been great for 9 of the 10 years, this last year there has been a bunch of stress, we relocated here from out of state for her work , everything has been a slow burn since moving down here. Stress of living in a new place , stress of new employment , stress of leaving family and friends behind. i admit we probably need counseling, i am open to that, but she seems so damn certain she is done with it. I am at a loss , I am feeling depressed , anxious, nervous, all at the same time. We don’t really have many friends to turn to outside of work. My family is 1300 miles away, I just feel alone. I am have a diagnosis of schizophrenia affective disorder (schizophrenia and bipolar) and I am super worried this will trigger my worst behavior, and that only ends up with me in the hospital for a 10 day stay….. feels better having typed all this out. thanks for reading

...See more 40 something guy , coming to grips with depression and anxiety. got into some legal trouble a little while back , and my depression and anxiety have been in overdrive. Mainly because I can’t control what’s going on with everything. I have a great lawyer who is great at what he does. But I don’t have any mental health support or much in the way of true friends to talk to. My wife is fantastic and has been a rock , but I am trying my best to not overwhelm her with all this stuff going on in my head. im one of those classic deep dive people, I gotta know everything , and can lose hours reading case law and proceedings on similar things. I am also a classic doom and gloom person. My whole life has been one screw up after another because I’m always looking at ways to fail not looking for ways to succeed. i am slightly medicated , family doctor put me on some mild medication , appointment with psychiatrist is over a month away….yay…… my biggest issue currently , is I don’t have a lot of people to talk to about anything. When people do reach out , it’s about my case , not anything else ……I just wanna talk about the weather , or Olympics , or anything . I can’t really get into specifics of case, other than it’s a white collar case I got wrapped up in. felt good writing all that. thanks for taking time to read all this have a good day
