Started antidepressants and feel weird about it

Been on them for about 3 weeks. I can tell they're helping, like I have more energy and the dark thoughts aren't as loud, but I feel guilty somehow? Like I should be able to handle this on my own. My kids don't know, my family doesn't really know. I'm worried people will think less of me or that it means I'm weak. Logically I know that's not true but emotionally it's hard. Anyone else deal with these feelings?

That guilt is so real, but you're not weak for needing help - you're actually stronger for recognizing it and getting treatment. Three weeks in and already noticing the dark thoughts quieting down? That's huge. Give yourself credit for that.
