Finally started antidepressants and feeling better

2w ago·1 min read

Been on them for about 6 weeks now and the fog is lifting. Not gonna lie, I was scared to admit I needed help. There's still that voice saying real men don't need pills but I'm trying to ignore it. My wife noticed I'm more present with the kids and I'm actually enjoying things again instead of just going through the motions. If you're thinking about it, just talk to your doctor. You deserve to feel better.

So proud of you for doing that. Six weeks is still early but the fog lifting is huge. That takes guts to admit you needed help and actually do something about it. Your kids are lucky.

That's a win right there. Being able to engage with your kids from a healthier headspace changes everything. You made the right call getting help, seriously.

This is awesome. The fear of admitting it is always worse than actually doing it. Glad you're feeling better and that the medication is working. Keep taking them and keep showing up for your kids.

Dude, congratulations on taking that step. A lot of guys struggle in silence instead of admitting they need support. Six weeks in and already feeling the difference is huge. Keep it up.
