Have Mental Stress Due To Divorced Family Life?

I can t let go of the past...............now, my youngest daughter is happily getting married but I can t seem to feel let go of her either. I have been divorced since 2001 *my husband had an affair with my best friend So, I feel guilty when it comes to things like my children getting maried and putting them under the stress of dealing with divorced parents during social events, etc.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
I can understand what you are going through. Getting over a relationship is usually difficult. However, life is full of unwanted situations and we have to deal with them. You need to express and let out your emotions. Start discussing your problems with someone you can share everything with. In addition, start exercising daily. I would also suggest you to meet a psychiatrist and discuss. You can be started on some medications, if you have symptoms of depression. Alternatively regular sessions with a psychiatrist will help cope up with your situation.
All the best.
