Don't feel bad if your mental health is in a much better place now. You come first. No exceptions.

  Until you have children, then they come first.

    This is why so many people delay or refuse to have kids. You cannot make such a decision to prioritize your mental health when they need support.

    That's not entirely wrong, but it's not quite correct either. When our first was born, the nurses at the maternity ward (about as pro-baby advocacy a bunch as one could imagine) advised us to "take care of yourselves so you can take care of the baby"; you're not doing your children any favors if you're driving yourself into a breakdown.
