Well, it does definitely sound like there is a chance you do have some issues that do need addressing, and I would recommend a therapist, but of course, you might want to see what all your medical doctors say first.
I'll ask you this, and don't take offense, because I am just wondering how you are feeling--but do you feel that going from being married with children to being gay with children may have had some emotional affect as well--I mean, the stress of not being married anymore and worrying about the kids, and visitation and like?
Also, don't feel like you are a wimp about these issues--mental health issues are just as bad (sometimes even more so) than a medical health issue--and you wouldn't feel like a wimp because you cut your leg off accidentally and went to the hospital, now would you?
Life is really a huge collection of episodes and how we deal with them makes out how our life ends up--you must take care of yourself and not worry about feeling "wimpy" or worrying about what others think--your kids need you to be the strong supportive dad you have always been, and I am sure your partner would as well.
Best...
