Help! I've always been somewhat dysthymic (sp?), and have had anger issues ... probably a holdover from childhood, frustrated that I couldn't heal my own parents' problems ... still, I feel I'm basically a good, well-meaning person, and used to have a spark or two. But my marriage of 16 years is failing; my husband left me. I have no friends and my colleagues at work are strictly impersonal (and uncaring) (I've never even been able to get one to go out for coffee with me); so I think I'm losing my mind from loneliness, grief and stress. I'm in my 50s, and wonder if any other women facing divorce and devastation would care to correspond with me. I am severely lonely and can't bear thinking about the future. (P.S. I go on and off SSRIs... they don't seem to help much, and it's hard for me to tolerate the nausea and constipation they cause me.)
