eluwak104 Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Both gets me in trouble, no matter what I do. My ex divorced me back in 2010. After several attempts to try marriage counseling (she told me all 3 of the counselors were on my side), I told her to go find a counselor then. Her response? She went to an attorney, told her I was sexually and physically abusing her and our two girls (the child psychologist says different) and filed for divorce. Now, almost 3 years later, I've still been tortured by it. I've suffered major depression, can't perform my normal daily duties like drive long distances (10+ miles) and have even thought of committing suicide several times. I've become extremely antisocial. I only seem to trust two people when it comes to talking. I've been told I should go find a doctor. That I need "help". Why would they even bother asking me if I tried to hurt myself? I know what the results of saying yes are. They lock me up in a mental institution. Not much incentive to tell the truth, is it? What would you do if you were in my shoes? Thank you for listening to my rant. I'm sorry if I wasted your time. I just felt like I needed to get this out.
coffeebean201 Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Sounds like the discussion around your divorce is too much about blame, to the point of claiming abuse..... .....and not enough about letting the other person move on with their life and also raising healthy happy children. What are the issues that you are concerned about now and in the future... .........rather than being focused on what may or may not have happened in the past.
terlislee Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 You should go see a psychiatrist and get yourself into therapy, it does sound like severe depression and you won't be able to get out of this on your own. Don't worry about telling the truth about your suicidal thoughts, nobody will lock you up! They will most probably prescribe some kind of antidepressants and recommend psychotherapy. There is nothing to be worried about and it will be an enormous relief for you to have someone competent help you and guide you through your healing.
Mcnulty Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I agree with Terl. go to your doctors and tell him. You will be referred to a counsellor and they'll assess your state of mind. I'm from England. I too recently confessed to suicidal thoughts,(due to my illness really). I was with a primary care counsellor. They referred me to a secondary care counsellor and i am seeing them in 3 weeks. There's nothing wrong with reaching out sometimes.
