Wondering when I'll feel like myself again

05/04/11 09:21 PM

I have been divorced for around a year and a half, and I am wondering when I will ever feel normal again. It just seems like it takes so long. Some days I feel like I am about to make a breakthrough, and some days I feel like an anxious, sad wreck.

My divorce was pretty traumatic for me. My life seemed golden and then it was hell so suddenly. My ex-wife became an alcoholic. I struggled with it for about a year, then she cheated on me. I kicked her out. She pleaded with me. I took her back. She cheated on me (with the same guy) shortly thereafter, and we separated.

Being the nice guy, I tried to help her out with her drinking issues. It was a nightmare and I should have just walked away. She went on some really scary benders, lost a lot of weight, had seizures, became depressed, lost her job, got in trouble with the law, etc. It really taxed my system and I began to struggle with anxiety.

I have essentially broken off contact with her and I no longer have big issues with anxiety. I eat healthy. I don't drink really anymore. I exercise. I am a fit, attractive, 30-year old man, but I simply have no passion for life. I know that things just take time, but I miss my old self. When does it get better?
