I think so. It feels better than holding everything in and feel like Im going crazy when I do that. Being honest with my wife about it helps. Doing that it feels like I can come to terms with depression. It doesn't seem so overwhelming of a problem when I share my thoughts and feelings honestly, even though those feeling aren't alway healthy or good it helps me to figure things out. I hold a lot of shame for being depressed. I think cause my family never accepted it, I had this internal voice saying it was all in my head and I could snap out of it. The truth is that it is a real illness and I can no more snap out of it that a person can grow a new heart. I have to acknowledge the way I feel and reassure myself I have a good life and deserve to be happy with it.
