So I decided to go back and fight through things. I am really close with a lot of my co-workers though, so that was probably part of it as well.

But as others have said, you are taking the first step, which is important. You can't get help, unless you ask for it.
Yeah I have always found that work is a great tonic for non-work related stress as you can keep busy and not dwell on your personal issues.
