Divorce combines grief, money worry, admin and often housing upheaval. Feeling overwhelmed is a normal response, not a weakness.
What helps
- Break the process into small tasks with deadlines instead of holding it all at once.
- Set boundaries on when you deal with divorce messages, rather than all evening.
- Keep one place for documents so you are not searching under pressure.
- Tell your GP if sleep or mood is badly affected.
- Use a counsellor or a support group, which is cheaper than using a solicitor as a therapist.
