I'm the last one to be commenting since I can't even admit to myself that i need meds, let alone those around me, but I've been working at being a little more open. I openly discussed that I am struggling with my husband when the kids were in the room. I even told him if things don't get better soon, I'm going to talk to the doc about meds.

I guess I'm hoping that if my kids know I'm struggling (although I'd never expose them to the depths of my pain), they will feel more normal should they experience the same struggles, and maybe even feel more open to talking to me about it.
