Started therapy and it's actually helping

I'll be honest, I was skeptical when my wife suggested it. Felt like admitting defeat or that I was broken somehow. But I found a therapist who gets it and we've been talking about the depression I've been carrying around for years. Didn't even realize how much I was masking it until I started talking about it. Just wanted to say to anyone on the fence about getting help - it's worth it. Doesn't make everything magically better but at least I'm not drowning alone anymore.
