You've taken a remarkable first step that most men your age never have the courage to do, so I think you'll be okay, bud. I know it's hard to talk about depression, especially for a guy, so I sympathize with you. If I haven't mentioned in the past that I too have some form of depression, I should mention it now; you're definitely not alone in the fight.

I'm glad you caught onto the red flag and took action before something worse developed. You truly have a Braveheart, I would say.
