I've been struggling with depression for as long as I can remember. My parents had a rough divorce when I was a freshman in high school, and it impacted me more than I should've allowed. Went from a straight A student to barely passing, all because I thought it would hurt my dad. Now, I'm 31, and have for so long felt like I am doing nothing even close to my potential.

I've been dating an incredible woman for nearly two years. The last year hasn't been the easiest for me, and I opened up to her about my depression and thoughts of suicide. To clarify, I never have acted on these thoughts, but they have always been there.

Anyways, she has recently asked me to seek help because my depression is affecting her. I don't want to continue to influence her in a negative way, so I am seeking ways to get help for myself. I appreciate any resources that people here have to share. Thank you for reading
