Started therapy last month and wow

Apr 25·1 min read

Just wanted to share because I've been hesitant about it for so long. Been dealing with depression off and on for years and finally took the leap. My therapist is actually really good and last week we had a breakthrough moment where I realized a lot of my patterns come from stuff I never processed. It's not a magic fix or anything but I feel like I'm actually moving in a direction instead of just being stuck. If anyone's on the fence about trying it, I get the hesitation but I'm glad I did.

Been there. Depression's a sneaky thing because it doesn't announce itself, it just shows up and makes everything feel heavy. Glad therapy is helping. How many sessions in before you started noticing a difference?

That took guts man, seriously. I've been putting it off for years too but finally started last month. Already noticing how much clearer my head feels, which honestly makes me a better dad to my three. Proud of you for taking that step.

Glad you're doing this. Mental health stuff is no joke and getting help makes you stronger, not weaker. My kids have noticed I'm more present since I started working on myself. Keep going with it.

Real talk, getting into therapy was one of the best decisions I made as a dad. Can't pour from an empty cup and all that. Sounds like you're finding your footing, that's big stuff.

Mental health stuff hits different when you've got kids depending on you. Takes strength to acknowledge it and get help instead of just white-knuckling through. Good on you.
