Husband just told me he is moving out.

Any advice for how to get through the work day without bursting in to tears? I also suffer from panic attacks. I do have some meds I can take, but I don't want to be popping pills every single day, I try to hold out for a true emergency.

My advice:

Allow yourself to suffer.
Forgive yourself for suffering.
It's OK to be dysfunctional at work or at home during this time -- it's normal. (Heck, if you weren't torn apart by this, *then* I'd be worried!)
I also chose to tell my supervisor what's going on w/ me, in general terms, so they understood my drop in productivity. They were highly supportive.
It's OK to take meds if properly prescribed and carefully considered.
Cry.
Cry.
Cry.

I spent a lot of time just feeling bad. Still do. I accept that.
