True Life Examples of How Divorce Affects Women's Health

If any of you women have wondered how divorce affects women's health, well look no further. Without looking at actual scientific statistics about a woman's health after a divorce, the effects of a divorce are plain to the naked eye.

Let me put it to you in laymen's terms: 1) weight gain 2)insomnia 3) depression 4)loneliness and 5)anxiety.

These are all related to each other and of course these don't always happen to everybody. I will give an example of each of these. Weight gain happens from sitting at home alone eating boxes of donuts and cartons of ice cream because you are sad and lonely since your husband is no longer there. Everything you knew as your life is suddenly changed which creates some sense of anxiety. Because you have anxiety, you can't sleep. Since you can't sleep, you might as well eat. (One might say.) Since you are awake in the middle of the night, this gives you time to think about how you don't necessarily want to be in the bed alone. Now, these are just a couple of real life examples of how divorce affects women's health. It doesn't have to happen like this, but unfortunately it does sometimes.
