My wife threatened to leave if I didn't get help. She knew something was wrong with me but I was resistant to get help in the beginning. Eventually, my dad convinced me to get help by saying my behavior wasn't normal.

Now that I'm on the mend (a lifetime of *mend* btw), things are much better. And I'm a happier person.

Perhaps you can focus on the fact that you went to get help and you're going to work hard at getting better. I think your effort and recognition of your challenges are worth a lot in conversation.
