I Am Lost In Life

Going through a lot right now, and well there are days in which I don't know what to do, kind of like today. I currently work 2 jobs, I go to school full time, this is my final semester and I am suppose to be working on a final project that I have yet to get started. I am a father have kids, and am currently going through a break up with my spouse. I find there are times I just am not able to focus on anything. School work is behind, along with work from work, and well I just feel lost. The other half is already moving on with someone else, and has pretty much disappeared from the kids life. I sit here alone, trying to figure out what to do. I try to work on what needs to get done, but I find I would rather do something else, like go for a drive, watch TV, or sleep. When asked something I usually answer is I don't know. What happened? Where did things go wrong? Why can't I deal with this? I just don't know where to start, where to turn, or how to get back on track and stay that way in my life right now.

Alacketet is also rite. See if someone could watch the kids for a bit. Getting out being social is important. Even if it's just going for coffee alone or to dinner with some friends. You would be surprised how much that alone can help. It's hard if you start to sink. You gotta keep swimming. I really had a hard time. It was like a death in my life. I didn't mourn the loss of my ex because I hated him and was glad he was gone. But it was the loss of that part of my life. Everything was changing and I was going to now be responsible for everything. All on my own.
4 years later were doing good. I even bought my own home. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It's not going to happen overnight, but you can get there.

You are going through a normal response. You are grieving for what life you lost. You are feeling lost and depressed, I know life continues, responsibilities, pressing matters eat our time and to some, the busyness help bury their pain but when not given the proper time to grieve and ponder, you don't heal well. You end up bringing the baggage with you or you don't come to a point of...that's it! I need to wake up and move on. Some end up like zombies for a long time bec they didn't allow themselves to get mad and get sad, cry, grieve and get over whatever it was. They are stuck in a fog.

I'm really sorry your struggling rite now.
Do you have a Dr.? You should talk to them. When I went through my divorce I struggled. I took some anxiety/depression medication to help me through it. After a year I went off it. It really helped me.

I am thinking I need some couch time. Think there are a few things that need to get out in the open and dealt with.

It is natural not to be able to focus all the time. Your subconscious is busy dealing with all the changes. A spouse leaving is a bi deal.

It is tough to see her move on and it is like she makes it look so easy. I know a lot of the problems of my marriage were my fault here, sometimes I think that this is part of the price I have to pay.
