You are not alone man...many people deal with depression, I have been dealing with anxiety/depression for the last year or so...the good news is it does get better, with the right help..and you seem to be doing the right thing by actively seeking out help.

And as others have mentioned, don't be afraid to turn to your family and friends when you need them the most..that's what they are there for.

It takes a great deal of courage to talk about this here, most people (especially guys) are afraid to admit there might be a problem. I think that stigma prevents a lot of people from getting the help they need.
