It was only until I was able to open up to the wife more and talk to her about how I was feeling that some of the anxiety had released. Not a lot, but enough to release tension and some of the demons in my own head.
I joined up with Mensline.org to have as back up to chat to someone. I think taking that step made me realize it was long overdue to do something.

It did for me. I noticed the change when I looked at photos
. I think it was due to exercising less (sleeping more), and possibly consuming more and more unhealthy stuff. A few years ago I was put on something to help me sleep and I noticed it helped me put on a lot of weight....arghhh. But you can tackle it quickly once you get your head in the right space.
