Anyone else here struggling to learn to live in their own after a divorce of a long term marriage with absolutely no support system to look to for help, or am I the only one?

    • Write down affirmations, practice self compassion and do things that bring you joy. Surround yourself with positive people. You are worthy!

        • There are supports mentally to help you to recover after a divorce, if your not coping go to dr to have a mental health check, where you get a a referral to a counsellor to help you approx 50% is paid for.

          • Yes I've done that thank you. Just thought I may come across others who might relate. I apologize if it bothered you.

        • The disintegration of a marriage has a severe impact on everyone involved. Im no expert but I know there are support groups out there. It depends what support you're looking for. Feeling lost alone is part of a long and winding road. Contact government services they should be able to help

          • Its not only women. Men also have problems as I found out many years ago. There is no support for either. It was a struggle but the only one who can do anything is yourself. Self pity does not help. You have to just get on with life, its your life and you are the only one who can change things.

            • I totally agree that it isn't, I just happen to be s woman which is why I used that terminology.

          • Do you have any skills? Are you in the workforce? Or looking for work? Getting a job is a good start because it gives you a reason to get out of bed, be financially independent, have some people to talk to, have a routine. Time goes quicker and life is easier when your financial and social emotions have some level of security. Good luck & you are not alone :)

            • I absolutely agree, I first have to find transportation, which I am sure I will sooner or later.

              If you are in Australia, you don’t need to hit rock bottom to call lifeline. Give them a call and they have heaps of resources and support groups you can reach out to. Best of luck for everything!
