Yes, likely been dealing with it on some level for quite the number of years now, maybe even longer before realized what it was. And yes, am getting therapy once a week when can.
Sometimes, probably. I just suck it up. I got too many bills to pay, too many people counting on me, and not enough time or patience to do anything about it anymore.
Depressed, hmm. A bit yes. It’s because of the feeling being used in my previous relationships. It makes me sad in a way, that there’s a huge hole in my romantic life. Most men are disposable and invisible. That makes it hard, and reading these stories even harder. I can’t ignore it, I don’t want to reject the feeling, but it’s something that needs to pushed outwards. Society isn’t changing, balance of men/women is out of proportions and won’t change. I just accept that life just sucks being a man who wants a woman.
i have my moments but i’m blessed to live the life i live and have all the opportunity in the world in front of me. it’s just up to me on how i use it. once i look back at it like that, it all comes into play and ik everything will be there for me when it’s supposed to.
I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and bipolar depression as exploratory diagnoses, though I think it’s more likely it’s complex PTSD. I’m like this because I grew up in an emotionally neglectful environment watching constant verbal and emotional abuse, and internalized that I was a stupid, fat, ugly, worthless little nobody fuck-up, every success I have is a fluke and every failure inevitable, and that nothing I do matters or could matter and the world would be better if I didn’t exist. Turns out, it’s pretty easy to be depressed if you believe things like that on a fundamental level and have since you were a teenager. It’s a lifelong disease, and it’s very likely I will die by my own hand, or indirectly from easily preventable disease from not taking care of myself. Wouldn’t recommend it.
Not myself, I did battle with alcohol and drug addiction when I was younger, and due to that my mental health was a wreck. Took a couple years to really level out but now life’s amazing.
lost my dad to suicide a little over a year ago and my gf broke up with me soon after. haven’t been the same since. I turn 22 in a couple of days and will probably spend it sitting alone in my room like my 21st. Can’t believe life turned out this way.
Just went through a awful break up, found out my mother has cancer, and getting kicked out of the military for mental health issues. all in a matter of a month. Already was struggling but now its a different beast. None the less, I keep pushing.

✌️15 years and counting. you learn to defeat your demons, one battle at a time. klingon therapist style
Depressed. Cannot see a solution. Thinking of…
Not anymore, a great therapist and amazing friends, loving family and a lot of self effort on my part help me get out of depression.
Great choice of flair BTW.
Trying to Stop all the morons who foam at the mouth with anger when they merely see the words “Men’s mental health awareness/month”.
The amount of types of individuals who get upset at men and women for simply supporting men’s mental health issues is hilarious.
Happy men’s mental health month. Hope all you men understand how valuable you are to the world. Keep strong fellas 💪

I used to be. But I understood my issues, and trying to solve them slowly.
Life is unfair and mental health is not easy. But you have to take care of your mental health and physical health.
Thankfully, my mind is in a much better place now.
