Started therapy and feeling hopeful

Just wanted to share some good news. After months of my wife asking me to talk to someone, I finally scheduled therapy. Had my first session last week and honestly it was less awkward than I thought. My therapist is helping me understand where a lot of my stress comes from. Just knowing I have a plan and someone who listens without judgment has already made a difference. Not saying I'm cured or anything but I feel lighter. Took me long enough to get here.

Congrats on taking that step. I'm three months in with therapy and it's been life changing. The hardest part was just showing up that first time. You're going to feel so much better.

This is awesome and takes real courage. Your wife was right to push you and you were brave to listen. I've been thinking about doing the same thing but keep putting it off. How long did it take before you noticed things feeling different?

That's really great to hear. I'm glad you finally took that step. A lot of us as dads feel like we should just be able to handle everything on our own, but talking to someone makes such a difference. How are you feeling about it so far?
