Studies show that the worst and most common cases of major depressive episodes are caused by ending marriages.
And is it really a surprise? Being in an ending marriage, seeing that marriage - for which you have put so much effort - circling down the drain is incredibly taxing on your emotions.
Even worse is when your spouse wants the divorce but you don't.
But now, I want you to cheer up.
I was in your situation, and I was able to save my marriage.
If you take the right advice, you will save yours too.
Don't forget that from this moment and on, saving your marriage is in your hands only.
First of all, you have to set your state of mind correctly.
I know that it's tempting to let your spouse know how devastated you are by crying in front of them and by certain other things, but that's terribly wrong and the biggest mistake you can make.
First - no spouse gives up divorce because they think their partner is "too depressed".
Second, and more importantly, your actions can have a tremendous effect on your own psychology.
This is a weird aspect of human psychology - if you act something, eventually you will feel like it.
Not to say that you want to "fake it" or anything - yes, you do feel horrible.
But if you act so deliberately to stress that you are feeling horrible, then that feeling will multiply in you.
And you don't want that.
Stay away from quick reactions - don't go looking for anything like a "quick fix" for your marriage.
This is another big mistake that I made.
There is no quick fix to a marriage.
You CAN definitely save your marriage regardless of how bad everything is - but it won't be by applying a magic recipe and having results overnight.
Saving a marriage requires being calm and considerate.
Like I said - your marriage's fate is in your hands and you need to consider every action you take!
