Started therapy last month and wow

Not gonna lie I was really resistant about going. Thought it was admitting defeat or something stupid like that. But my wife finally got me to make an appointment and I've been going weekly. My therapist actually gets the dad thing, like the pressure to always have it together. First time in years I feel like I can actually talk about my depression without filtering it. Should have done this years ago.

That's not admitting defeat that's admitting you want to be better, totally different thing. Props for going. A lot of dads won't take that step.

Huge respect for this. I was resistant for like 3 years before I finally went and I regretted not going sooner. What was the biggest thing you realized in the first month?

Started therapy a few months ago myself and same thing, thought it would feel like failure but it's the opposite. You're actively choosing to get better which is like the most dad thing ever.
