Am I going crazy or what?
My husband left me for another woman and filed for separation.he moved her in our home,made it hard on me that I had to leave our home and move in with my brother and his family.
I am having hard time dealing with the loss of my husband,home,everything. I am already dealing with surgical menopause and take hormone pills daily.
At first I made my brother and family nutts from talking about it so much,now all I do is cry,can't sleep for long cause of thoughts in my head keeping me awake,feel sad,hurt,worthless,useless,and want to be left alone in a dark room to cry away from people.
I don't know if I am going crazy or if it is from the stress ? I over heard my family talking and they were thinking maby this sudden change in my life has brought on dementia,cause our mother has it and runs in our family.
I really am going down hill day by day and more nervous and sad. can someone tell me if you have been thru this or have any ideal what I should do ?

Firstly, I am incredibly sorry. I really truly am. Losing someone is painful but try to find comfort in knowing what goes around comes around. It never fails; their relationship wont last if your husband is that kind of man (not much of a man).
Secondly, I find that the most stressful things in life occur in heaps. I wish it were different and Im not sure if you're a Christian or not but my personal beliefs are that the devil makes it that way in order to destroy you. What you cant possibly see now is what a strong woman this will eventually make you. You will find another home, you can certainly find a new man, but I think it will be good for you to lean on your family for support and guidance in this time.
And lastly, PLEASE, PLEASE... go to therapy. I used to think the idea of therapy as a joke until I hit rock bottom. Seek counseling. Go on a road trip with a friend or family member. Go to a bar. Experience the things being married prevented you from doing. This is a fresh start in your life! It WILL get better... it always does.
As a nursing student I seriously doubt you would develop dementia from stress.

To me, a non-expert, you sound perfectly normal. You are dealing with major changes and I can't think of anyone who could handle the amount of stress you must be going through right now. It sounds like a lot of it is out of your control also. Make sure you try and find aspects of your life that you do control in order to help balance things. An outlet for your stresses is advised. Running is a great option. It allows you time to reflect as well as chemically and neurologically helping elevate your mood. Fresh air always does you good anyway. Bottom line though; you are not crazy. I would advise a therapist simply to allow a third party into your life for venting frustrations and steering things in a positive direction, not, I repeat, not because you are suffering from any sort of dementia or other mental disease. I would also advise, if you feel it would help, talking to your general practitioner about starting some anti-depressants until you deal with a few of these issues. I have seen similar situations in family members and it can be a dark hole that is tough to crawl out of but you can do it!

your not going crazy
right now you feel hurt, angry, confused, stressed, and above all that will make you depressed
its normal with all those things happening all at once especially awful things like your husband moving some one else in just like that
your not going crazy but you shouldn't go through this alone
you should consult a doctor and see if maybe you need some help maybe a counselor or something but don't give up! you will get through this im sure your a strong woman and you do deserve MUCH better than what you have been given so give the world another chance its out there waiting for you :)

He moved her into the house while you were STILL THERE?! That's not only incredibly insensitive of him, but also very cruel. I'd cry too if I ever had to deal with a jerk like that. It sounds like you're better off without him.
Don't listen to what people say about you. YOU know about you. If you truly do doubt yourself, seek help. Whether it's professional or with friends. Find a friend you trust to talk to and get it all out. Or even a complete stranger. Talking always helps, even if by just a little bit.

I even have the tendency to swiftly scouse borrow hairstyles i like. it incredibly is been incredibly disappointing each from time to time. quicker or later while i became little I had some form of bowl subject. Then it became in basic terms short and plan for an prolonged time, and in some situations I enable it improve a splash and shrink "layers" that have been incredibly random chunks, each now and then. Then I enable it improve lots and customarily regarded like i in my view had to be Kurt Cobain for a whilst. So then i in my view needed deathrock hair, yet became too lazy for the maintenance/familiar deathrockiness, so I in basic terms shaved tremendously much 0.5 of one element. and then the undercut subject exploded, so I regarded like a somewhat boyish hipster woman. So finally I decrease the longer element off, and observed a incredible haircut (coincidentally, on a boyish hipster woman; this curiously wasn't adequate warning) concerning some element shaving and short bangs, and as quickly as I have been given carried out does not you realize, I regarded like a somewhat boyish hipster woman. So I enable it improve out a splash, and tried to decrease some layers in it because of fact it have been given too thick; and then I regarded like i in my view had to be Brian Molko, and to that end on the 2d, regarded like a somewhat boyish hipster woman. So it incredibly is tremendously lots nevertheless like that, yet i've got been making little knot-variety bun issues in it. This additionally makes me look like a somewhat boyish hipster woman, yet after like 3+ years of this i've got given up. Oh look this ended up being an prolonged rambly criticism.
