  • fatigue – everything that you do is taking all the energy away from you, leaving you feeling lethargic, tired, and with body aches;
  • crying – you cry a day, you cry a few weeks, you cry a few months, but you can’t cry forever. It is normal that your process of moving on won’t be easy and steady, but if you cry all the time or because of all the things that trigger you, it’s a clear sign that you might experience depression and it’s messing up your health;
  • pessimism – there is nothing that makes you happy. You only think about bad things that can happen, about how something will get messed up, how you will be unhappy all the time and the list can go on. Long story short, it doesn’t matter what subject you are talking about, you are only seeing the bad side of any situation;
  • suicidal thoughts – this is the WORST thing you can think of! When it comes to women, depression can occur as sadness, guilt, and feeling like they are not worthy enough. They can’t think of anything good, and some of them can imagine that their partners are happier without them. On the other hand, when it comes to men, depression in men manifests as difficulty in sleeping, drinking excessively, doing drugs, etc. If you are feeling like you don’t want to live anymore, remember that you won’t always feel like this, and also, it’s always better to talk to somebody, especially a specialist, about all of your problems;
  • insomnia – you might think about what you did wrong, what you could’ve done to make the situation different when the exact moment that everything started to change was. You might feel like you are so upset, that you find yourself tossing and turning around in bed, hoping that you will fall asleep soon. Skipping several hours of sleep can lead to serious health issues, so make sure that you take time to care for yourself!

TAKEAWAY 

It doesn’t matter how old you are, or what the reasons that you decided to file for divorce were. It’s never easy to get over it, but it’s not impossible! There will be moments when you might feel like you don’t care anymore, or there can even be situations when you might tear up just thinking about what happened!

In these moments, it’s always best to let yourself grieve, and if you experience any kind of unpleasant situation, such as depression, don’t be afraid to ask for help!
