Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

What do you do when you are so depressed and stressed that you can't function. I ask my husband for a divorce 8/28/11, because things have been going badly for us. Unfortunately I am 53 years old and have not worked in 6 years. I quit my job at my husband's constant requests. I was making over $63,000 at the time. He said he would give me the same amount of money to stay home. Nice guy right, however things changed. Anyway, I said I wanted to start all over. At first he said I was making a big mistake..then it changed to if I got a lawyer I'd regret it. Anyway, after he calmed down we agreed I would find a job and we'd work it out. On about Sept. he quit calling. We arranged 2 times to talk but he cancelled each time. Now on Nov 15th. He cut the money almost in half with a note that was all he could afford. This will not pay my bills here. He lives in the Alabama home, and has the business there. I live in Ga. and have the home here. He is paying the mortgage payment and giving me money each month. He will not respond to my text messages or emails. I called to check on lawyers and they want $5000 to start. I don't have a job, I can't find one, no other income other than my husband, I can't pay that kind of money. What am I to do? I am feeling very low now and yes I do suffer from depression which makes it hard for me right now. Please advise. Am I screwed now.
