Why You're Actually Depressed After Divorce

Depression is a nervous system response to intolerable, overwhelming or frightening emotions. It is less about sadness and more about fear.

Understanding the real reason behind feelings of depression gives us more effective tools for recovering from it. If depression is a nervous system response to intolerable emotions, then it is a solution, not a problem. If we want the depression to go away, we have to find a different solution to the problem of overwhelming emotional pain.

Fortunately, we live in a time where there are actually many effective tools for widening one's emotional window of tolerance and making painful emotions more managable and less overwhelming. When we can do that, there is no longer a need for the nervous system to enter a depressed state.

Five years married to the love of my life and we had a two-year-old. Divorced because of not being compatible with each other anymore. She became from a loving person to a completely different person and just five years the problem I have why I can’t let go is because we remember the old person that we fell in love with. And that person does not exist anymore you gotta remember the current person not the past and that’s how you will move forward. I figured it out. It’s still gonna be hard. It still hurts every day but you’re doing what’s best because no one deserves to be treated bad specially, physically and verbally abuse should not exist and do not stay with that person that does that.

This nails how I feel. I'm going through a divorce and feel so trapped. Trapped financially to a spouse who won't/can't work or take care of themselves, trapped in a parenting plan that leaves me without seeing my son enough, trapped in a location where I don't want to live, trapped in na job that I want to quit, but can't.

I'm finding it very difficult to understand how to move on.

[DystopianUtopia]

I'm depressed because my ex wife is a liar and used me to better her life until she could just move on to someone else. And I hate myself and I can't forgive anyone for anything and I'm filled with hate and all I want is to see the world burn.

Dealing with this at 28. I understand most women want a divorce, but for me, my husband was the one who blindsided me. These videos help me. ❤

[gordonbarnes]

I'm going through divorce, I left the only woman I ever wanted to be with because of her drinking and small instances of mentally and physical abuse. She wouldn't listen to me or anyone around her to stop, so I left after 7 years. There isn't a day that goes by I don't think of her, her two daughters who I got on with haven't spoke to me since I left. The thing that keeps triggering me is asking myself did I give her enough chances before I left, is she ok, why she tried to blame me for her drinking, was I that bad a husband, and why I would take her back tomorrow if she changed but I now think she wouldn't take me back. 😢

Thank you Rachael. There is a lot to unpack from this video. Fortunately, I can replay it. I also registered for for free masterclass. This is a life changing experience. Do women go through this level of pain that men go through?

[freddavidson]

There is nothing more spiritually, emotionally, mentally and financially damaging than marriage.

It’s a hard truth but truth nonetheless.

[nonphic]

I feel like my emotional breakdowns are getting shorter...but there's so many triggers everyday that bring on the emotions such as music, commercials, smells...how do I deal with those triggers that bring me down?

In INDIA we say Mard ko dard nahi hota... (Men feel no pain).

Depression is spiritual it started there first

[tom-nwi]

I feel my limbic response right in my gut, on the left side, 3 in above the navel and about the same to the left side.
It almost always is in the after noon. I tried drinking a ton of sleepy time extra tea all afternoon and it may have helped; I must have drank the whole box. It reminds me most of when I was a small kid and got lost in the supermarket and was freaking out.

Why is she taking? 🤡 she knows nothing
