Thank you all for your candid posts. I think I do need to face the fact that I probably need counseling. 2 months ago when I got married, we packed up and moved to another state to be closer to his family. I moved from the only place I ever lived. I left behind my job/career which I associated my self identity with. I left behind all of my friends and everything I have ever known. We left so abruptly that any chance of keeping friendships was lost and my new husband gets so upset if I travel back to that town because he is worried I might run into my ex boyfriend which he is very jelous of. I have no friends or family where we have moved to. The unemployment rate is 15.5%, I can't get a job even cleaning offices when I used to be a professional. I'm at home all day, applying for jobs or running errands for my husband.. You can only cook, clean and do laundry so much before it's all done. I love my husband dearly but I feel lost. My old friends don't even have my new phone number so I get no phone calls except from my husband. Money is very, very tight so joining a gym or something to meet other women to hang out with or even going out to meet people isn't an option right now.

Your posts made me see that this seclusion is starting to take it's toll on me. Thank you
Wow that sounds really tough.

If money is tight, you can find a counselor at a clinic that offers sliding-fee scale: they charge you what you can afford. Try googling "mental health clinic" and add the words sliding fee scale plus your city. Good luck!
