Free Divorce Support for MEN

Now that you are single again, you're going to have to take care of your own health. Not just eating properly and exercising, but making your own doctor and dentist appointments as well. You will also have to make sure that all of your prescription medications are filled, up-to-date and that you take them as prescribed. For most married guys, our wife would make the appointments or remind us that we needed to see the doctor, take our pills, etc. We thought they were just “nagging” but they were actually looking out for you. It’s real easy to forget about medications or get lazy and ignore getting them refilled.

Pay attention to your body. If you feel sick, do something about it. Going through a divorce can bring on anxiety and result in elevated blood pressure. Anxiety can cause you to break out with a rash or acne, even hair loss. Don’t ignore your health. You should see your doctor for a routine checkup. Let your doctor know about the divorce. This will help them understand if you have had rapid weight loss or other physical changes.

If you allow your health to slip, you will be more susceptible to bouts of depression. Poor health makes you weaker and that starts the whole cycle of depression, illness, poor eating habits, poor performance at work, destructive drug or alcohol habits, becoming introverted and reclusive. If you’re not healthy, you won’t be of any good to your children, your friends, your family, your employer and ultimately yourself.

A lot of men also relied on their wife to make sure they ate healthy. Now that you have to do your own grocery shopping and cooking, you might feel lost and go for the easiest fix. Frozen pizza and beer every night is not healthy. Fruits, juices and vegetables should be a large part of your food intake. Make grocery lists, don’t just go to the store and buy what looks good. Without a list, you forget things and you can end up buying a lot of unnecessary items, which end up getting thrown out. Lists will help you conserve money.

Cooking for yourself can be a real lonely experience. I get depressed and lazy and don’t feel like cooking, but I force myself. I always feel better afterwards. Cooking for yourself is boring, but it can be a great time to think or even talk on the phone with friends. Don’t let dishes pile up too long. A messy kitchen makes me feel more depressed. Don’t just go for the easy fix by making a can of soup and that’s it. Make larger meals and take leftovers for lunch or eat them the next day. You can experiment with recipes and ideas without ruining an entire meal for the whole family. Honing your cooking skills will help when you start dating. It shows that you’re not completely helpless and can also be quite romantic when you invite a date over and cook for her. I love cooking for friends, family and dates.

If you’re not very skilled at cooking or aren’t creative in the food department, then go online and look for some simple recipes. You don’t need a fully stocked kitchen to cook for yourself. A couple pots and pans, microwave and a small stove is all you need. There is one product that I highly recommend, it is the “George Foreman Grill”. I get a lot of use out of my “George Foreman Grill”. They’re great for a single guy. The George Foreman is easy to use and easy to clean. You can quickly cook chicken breasts, burgers, steaks, pork chops, fish, etc. You can prepare yourself a lot of healthy meals with this. Cooking for yourself will help what little money you have left go farther.

There is also a lot of very healthy, filling frozen and prepared food available at larger grocery stores. If you don’t know how to cook, or simply don’t have the time to cook, then go out to eat - and not just “fast food” every night. There are plenty of good, affordable restaurants where you can get a healthy, filling meal. A healthy, well fed body will help you sleep better and make you stronger to combat depression.

Here is a checklist I put together. This doesn’t cover everything you need to maintain your health, but it’s a good start:

• Take vitamins and health supplements.
• Make sure that your health insurance is current and paid.
• Make sure all of your prescribed medications are kept current.
• Take all of your prescribed medications.
• Make appointments for routine checkups with your doctor and dentist.
• Make grocery lists and don’t waste money on useless crap.
• Learn to cook well rounded meals.
• Eat! Don’t just drink dinner.
• Keep your kitchen clean.
• Exercise regularly or join a health club.

Taking care of yourself can be a lot of work, in fact, it can be a total pain in the ass! But if you don’t take care of yourself, you will be of no use to anyone else. You have an obligation to yourself to take care of YOU.
