Depression, Anxiety

[TheSneakiness]

Been a real tough time for me with separating from my wife and son.

Anyone who tells you separation anxiety is a myth in adults seriously has no idea. Everywhere I go I find myself thinking about them, even being at work.

Yes I do go to a psych but its not helping, especially not at the moment. Medication is kinda helping me function but again its not working at the moment with the power my mind has over me.

I miss them both terribly.

I haven't been through you situation so I don't know how it feels but what I can say is to keep seeing the psychologist as it seems like you're at the bottom and you need support at the moment. It would seem like it isn't helping but things would probably be worse is you didn't keep seeing them.
Its going to take time and they will hopefully help you.

Hey man, keep ya chin up.

I've got a close mate, who seperated from his partner about 10 years ago now, they have 2 children together but she is a psycho and wont let him see them.
He had to leave in the end and even today the memories of that time still break him down.

We discuss it regularly as a way of him coping.
My kids went to the same school as his so when ever there was a school event, concert etc. i would try to get some footage or pics of them to show him how they were going.
His daughter once asked mine about her Father and my Daughter told her he is a good man and not to let others tell her otherwise.
Relationships break down, it happens everday and it doesnt have to be a blame game, people just change.

He still struggles at times as can be expected, but i always remind him that one day they will come looking for him and that he needs to be strong now and ready to embrace them when the time comes.

Do what you need to do to cope, if medication helps, take it. Keep talking to the psychologist, you might not see any progress but you are talking about it and that is the most important thing, no good bottling it up.

Its a tough situation fella, no doubt. But with support, and we're here for you whenever you need, you can pull through.

Best wishes.

Hang in there mate. It can take many years to come to terms with separation from loved ones. I had this personal experience myself and things do get better. Its a type of pain you wish on no-one. What ever happens between you both remember your young fella is always going to need you both. Try and be positive of your predicament around him, he maybe feeling the same too. I made a few mistakes along the way which in retrospect I would not do again. Things will look up for you mate, there is always going to be hurdles along the way, that's life unfortunately.
