I'm 22 with two toddler children and I'm going through a somewhat amicable divorce. My whole life I've dealt with bouts of depression. I also work at a children and adolescent psychiatric facility so I know tons about depression.

Lately my moods have been up and down. I had a really great life with my husband but it just wasn't working. I don't regret the split but sometimes I get so lonely. I was dating this really great guy but just found out today that he's cheating on me. I feel like the whole world has turned against me and I don't know what to do. I don't like anti-depressants so that's not an option. Like I said I know alot about depression from dealing with it on a daily basis. In my profession it's not okay to talk about personal probs because of the myth that we professionals shouldn't have any probs. I guess I just wanted to put down how I feel without being judged.

(((Becky)))) Welcome to the board!! You will find many people here have had similar life experiences. Being alone is a challenge. Life's transitions can be some of the hardest things to deal with. Being here is one thing that will help.

You will find that here, we all have problems and imperfections and we embrace that as normal. No masks to wear here. Sometimes that is scary. lol

Welcome to the board.


Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.

Take care,

Lisa
