Finally admitted I need help

Made my first therapy appointment today. Took me 2 years of telling myself I could handle the depression on my own. Talked to my wife last week and just broke down. She was so supportive and basically said she's been worried for a while. Feeling scared but also relieved? Is that normal? Hoping this actually makes a difference.

That took real courage, man. I've been there telling myself I could just push through it, but talking to my wife about it changed everything for me too. Proud of you for taking that step.

Two years is a long time to carry that alone. Getting help isn't giving up, it's actually being smart about taking care of yourself so you can show up better for your kids and your wife.
