Realized I've been using work as an escape and it's catching up with me

Been working 50+ hours a week for the past 2 years because home stuff got heavy and honestly being at work felt easier. My boss loves me, paycheck is great, but my kid barely knows me and my wife asked if I even still want to be married. Had a breakdown in my car yesterday and finally admitted to myself that I'm using work to avoid dealing with depression and anxiety about my actual life. Starting antidepressants next week and cutting back to 40 hours. Wish me luck because I'm terrified of what I'm gonna feel when I'm not numbing myself with work emails all day.
