Suggest Treatment For Extreme Depression And Crying Spells After Having A Broken Relationship
My 23-year marriage to a verbally and emotionally abusive man whom I loved very much (we have a 22 yr.old daughter together) has come to an abrupt halt. Everyone says I should be glad I can start over . I am experiencing debilitating bouts of indescribable sadness and crying spells. I am 62. I want to see no one. I feel things are so bad in my emotions, that I am physically ill from this. There seems to be no end to the grief. It feels overwhelming. What can I do? This is overpowering in its intensity. jill

Hello, greetings! Thanks for your query. You seem to be going through a difficult phase and under depression. Please remember that you aren't alone and there are people who can help you. I suggest you undergo counselling by a local psychiatrist, who can guide you and may suggest anti-depressant therapy or medication, if need be.
