Hey there @itiscalebjames and welcome to Steemit! A big congrats on the upcoming birth of your baby! That's exciting man. I have a six year old and it is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to me. Work-from-home-dadness is pretty amazing as well as I get to spend huge chunks of time with my kiddo.

I've been dealing with my depression for some 20 years now. I've been through all of the treatments, etc. Finally, about 2 years ago I managed to quite all of my meds focusing instead on mindful meditation, diet and exercise. It has been a great change. The depression doesn't go away but I now have a better, healthier toolkit to work with.

Btw, I'm @danielshortell and I write fiction here on SteemIt. Depression/Anxiety are topics that often find their way into my writing from time to time, so you may be able to see some of your experiences reflected. I've also had several other chats on the topic with people on this platform. Interested to see how things go for you, following you now.
