Talked to my doctor yesterday and got on antidepressants. I've been struggling for like 2 years and just white knuckling through it thinking I should be tougher. Started therapy too. Feel kind of embarrassed but also relieved. My wife said she's noticed me being happier already and we've only been at this a few days. Should have done this sooner.
Props for being honest about it. Mental health is health. Glad you found a doctor who listened and actually helped instead of just telling you to sleep more or something.
This is huge. Seriously. My brother struggled for so long before he finally got help and he's like a different person now. You're doing the right thing and you should feel good about taking this step.
Good on you for talking to someone. Two years is a long time to carry that alone. The medicine will take a minute to kick in but you're already on the right path just by admitting it and getting help.

That took guts, man. Seriously. I'm proud of you even though I don't know you. Getting on medication is not weakness, it's actually being smart about your health. Hope things start getting better for you real soon.
