Seek Out Support
Divorce is a life-changing decision which will be emotional, stressful, traumatic, and nerve-wracking. The end of a marriage will trigger sadness and despair irrespective of the reason for your divorce and these emotions can overwhelm you.
Why does Divorce Impact Your Mental State?
A marriage begins with the expectation of a loving and happy future together. When a marriage fails, it brings disappointment, shame, stress, and a sense of failure. Even if it is evident that the relationship is no longer working these feelings of loss are unavoidable.
Furthermore, divorce impacts all of the members of your family; you and your spouse, your children, your parents and your extended families. Even though you may not have been the instigator of the divorce you will bear the mental burden of this pain and suffering of those you love.
How do you Overcome the Pain and Anxiety?
Accept that it takes time to recover from a divorce, more time if you were not the one who started the process. Time is your friend here; while it will not seem like it, things will get better.
These steps will be helpful :
- Accept that it is ALRIGHT to feel sad, be angry, frustrated, or to have other negative feelings. You may also worry about your future, and dwell in your past. It is important to accept that this is normal.
- Seek support from a therapist. While your family and friends will listen and provide support a trained therapist will be an unbiased voice and will be able to recognize signs of depression and anxiety.
- Lean on friends and family. Build a community of kind souls around you to help you when you are in need.
- Avoid isolating yourself. Find a divorce support group to talk with people in similar circumstances; it will make you feel like you are not alone.
- Change your routines. Try something new, it will help you focus on something other than your divorce.
- Hire a divorce consultant to take the burden of the divorce process off your shoulders. Your lawyer will take care of the legal issues but there is an overwhelming amount of financial work and collection of paperwork that can be done by a divorce consultant.
