How long does divorce anxiety last?

Divorce anxiety refers to the intense feelings of stress, fear, worry, and uncertainty that many people experience during or after the end of a marriage or civil partnership. The anxiety can last anywhere from several weeks to a couple of years, depending on various factors.

Divorce anxiety can often be effectively managed with self-care, a strong support network of friends and family, access to counselling and therapy, and using legal professionals to address practical issues such as childcare arrangements, housing, and resolving financial matters.

Divorce anxiety is a common and normal response to the significant changes and uncertainties that come with ending a relationship.
