I am very lonely and depressed and been having the worst luck. I have been out of work for a good chunk of 2010. I found a job as a stock boy at whole foods in august. In October my wife of 12 yrs left me. I was so distraught and depressed from that, it affected my work as a lowly stock boy. Keep in mind I am 43 years old and have worked in Inside Sales and could only find the job at wfs. Just a few days ago, I was let go because my speed wasnt up to par to the younger workers, I guess. I thought I was doing ok, even though I didnt like the job at all.

I am staying at my grandmas vacated house, she is in a nursing home and I am very depressed. I still love my wife, but all she wants to do is discuss the business aspects of moving on. In a way, I dont blame her for leaving me, my career has been sporadic with lapses in work and that can put a strain on things. She has had a history of depression, but lately she seemed liked she changed wearing different clothes and before she left she had wanted sex differently than in the past. I am not sure, what is going on with her, I tried talking with her on the phone and she has said she has moved on and is happier. Then I get emotional.

I feel very low with thoughts of suicide periodically. I am in therapy, which is good.. I am still looking for answers on why I cant hold a job for a period of time. I,ve been to a couple of psychics to see what they can do. they told me to meditate which I started to do and exercise was another suggestion... I feel lost, I am looking for answers and it feels like I am grasping at straws..

If anyone can give me advice, it would be greatly appreciated.. God bless.. Sorry for my rambling
Hey buddy, you are not rambling, you are feeling. I am going through tough times too. You can find my other post if you want to look for them under the bipolar section. Her is what I have learned so far: you must take steps to remind yourself that you are not a failure, even if that means putting a sign in the mirror to remind you. Do not attempt to take responsibility for her emotions or actions, she is responsible for them. Therapy is great but, you have to listen and learn when you are there.

Life will go on with or without her. It is your choice as to the quality of your life. Don't ignore your feelings but, don't labor with them. Exercise your right to be who you are. Good luck but, remember this, luck has nothing to do with how well you feel, you do.
