Divorce is often one of the most challenging experiences a person can face. It may require you to leave your family home, lose touch with couple friends, and miss out on time with your children. Almost always, it involves losing someone you once loved and the future you had envisioned together.

Despite how difficult divorce can be, there are steps you can take to protect your mental and emotional health during this time.

Consider trying:

Spending time with family and friends

Playing a new sport

Trying a new hobby

Volunteering in your community

Journaling

Meditating

Exercising

Spending time outdoors

Treating yourself to a massage

Attending support group meetings

Divorce can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. If you’re struggling to cope, remember you’re not alone, and things will eventually get better. Give yourself grace as you recover from your divorce and adjust to your new life.
