I realize we are very close to international conflicts with North Korea and Iraq, according to the news today. However, I am not worried about this, although normally I would not be able to eat from the worry of war, etc. I believe this is because I feel as life as I knew it ended 5 months ago. Anyone else feel this way??? Is this a signal of deep depression? I don't feel depressed, but I really am not concerned about a lot of things that used to concern me. It's a strange feeling.

I picked up a great book early on in my separation. Its the Fresh Start Divorce Recovery Workbook. There were checklists of feelings in their so you could gauge your reactions. If you truly believe that you are depressed talk to a counselor. Did you drop 10 lbs in a month? That's a huge sign. Reach out to people for help to get through this crisis. It is a crisis, and you need to deal with it accordingly. The best care you can give to your children, is to take care of yourself now. They are watching your actions/reactions and they will learn about emotions and life from this experience. It's ok for them to see you cry. Depression is one stage of divorce. I really don't care much about the war now. My life is my priority. I can't control the government, and I can't control other people, I can just be accountable for myself. Good Luck.
