Started antidepressants last month

Just wanted to share that I finally took the leap and started medication. Been putting it off for years because of the stigma I guess, and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. First few weeks were rough with side effects but I'm starting to feel like myself again. Not some miracle cure or anything but I can actually enjoy things with my kids again instead of just going through the motions. If anyone is on the fence about it, happy to answer questions.

That's a big step and you should feel good about it. A lot of guys won't admit they need help. Taking that leap shows real strength not weakness.

Real talk - getting on antidepressants changed my life. No shame in it at all. You're taking care of yourself so you can take care of your family.

How long did it take before you noticed a difference? I'm thinking about going that route myself but I'm nervous about what it'll be like.

Proud of you for making that call. Took me way too long to stop being stubborn about it. The difference once you get on the right medication is night and day.
