Am I depressed ? Some co workers say that I ?!


Question: Am I depressed !? Some co workers say that I !?
I am not sure if I really am, or perhaps I am in denial yet I am forthcoming enough with myself to accept that as a option!. At any rate I was recently divorced and the divorce was very ugly!. The were victories and defeats on both sides yet in the end any small victory was bitter sweet with what it cost!. I have a 2 year old son who I lost my bid to have custody over!. I have a parenting plan but the state rulled in favor of my x!. The thing is that parenting plan is worthless to me, its just not enough time!. Every other weekend and week day visit does not cut it & never will!. When I have my son I feel so alive and I feel like I am home!. When he is not around me I seem to be in a darker place!. I am not being the person that I am suppose to be!. I notice I drink a lot more, but I still work & I don't drink around my son or drive!. In the early days of my divorce I would spend a lot of time in my YA section and watch a lot of wrestling!. No I find myself doing less of that as well, in fact I really dont do much then drink beer and sit in a room with tv noise on as background filler!.
I work in a very high stress job that pays as well as it can in todays world and my productions #'s are good!. I have been told to I look more darker and that I am withdrawn!. I could see this as a reason why a couple of these girls that I have dated since my split never worked out!. I am not being my true self when I was with them!. I have thought about seeing somebody to address all of this however I still have some unresolved litigation with my x over money and I cant let any matter like this be known to her!.

I think I have rambled enough, I just wonder if this is normal after divorce to act this way !? Sometimes when I am at work I will get some some from one of my sons shows in my head and it can make me cry thinking about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes this would be normal!. You were used to seeing your child everyday and now you don't!. I was divorced, no kids were involved, but it was still hard!. I read a good book Divorce & New Beginnings by Genevieve Clapp!. It was very helpful to me and there is a whole section on children!. It will take yourself awhile to get adjusted to being divorce so give yourself time!. You may not be ready to date!. I wasn't for a long time!. I had to readjust my time as a single person and it's hard!. I can say drinking is not going to be your answer!. get online and see if there are any divorce support groups in your area!. That was a life saver for my brother after his divorce!. I would really recommend that book!. Divorce is one of the hardest things to go through!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
