I was treated for, and realized that it was due to a series of unfortunate events.

My grandfather had just died, a friend had just committed suicide, I was in a dead end job thanks to incompetent management, and my first son was just born (not unfortunate, but the professional help I attended said it was common for fathers to become depressed after child birth).

I made changes. Some of the triggers we unavoidable, but the things I could do something about, I did something about.

I must say, I just started basic exercise for the first time, full time, since high school (13 years ago) and I feel so much better physically and mentally than I have in a long time. All I'm doing is sit ups and push ups while my shower warms up.

But find help, no matter how mild you think you're at. Talk to a doctor, talk to friends, seek professional help if needed. Really, there's nothing negative about it.

Some will not understand. My mother became upset when I told her about what I was going through. But in the end, she understood, and I'm in a much better place.

But talk... doesn't matter to who. Get it out of your system. You're also going to have bad days after all this. I do. But it's much better, and much more manageable.
