Reply #18: Get better.. I have been there 2x.

Sorry to hear about your depression but it seems that you are on a speedy recovery. Depression is more common than you think.

However, you may expect it again to flare up through your divorce. I have been divorced 2x...one with little depression and the other with sever depression.

The first time it started off rough in the beginning but luckily I was spared much of the financial burden that comes along with a lengthy divorce case by going through mediation with my first ex. Luckily we were still barely talking too each other and thus mediation was an option. It cost less than $5K and I had little depression because it was fairly civil not to mention that I had money to spare.

In my second divorce my depression nearly ended me. We went through the courts and the lawyers can be very nasty not to mention that it cost me $32,000 in legal bills. The combination of the legal posturing as well as a large legal tab left in a total wreck emotionally and financially.

I hope that you can work things out with your spouse....you will both be better off by doing so. However, if divorce is the only option, look at the mediation program.

God Bless.
