Did this a year ago and I’m back to see how everyone is doing.
I’m back again to check in since it’s men’s mental health month. How are you all doing? How’s life treating you?

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
In the words of Norm, it’s a dog eat dog world, and I’m wearing milkbone underwear.
I was unaware there was a month for us. Is there anything useful coming of it or is it just the words being put on a pamphlet somewhere?
well, my last kid moved out yesterday. it’s been 35 years straight raising and having children in my home. I don’t remember anything except just being the dad who goes to work, comes home to the wife and kids, and is dad, doing dad stuff, loving having my family around and close and safe.
not sure how I am, to be honest. feel a little untethered at the moment. Thanks for asking.
I had a mini mental breakdown a few days ago, haha
I barely used this account for four years and then suddenly I came back to it and started venting to strangers
I wasn’t here a year ago but…the new Administration has been putting me through the ringer. I’m a Federal worker. However, I have been assured that I am needed so that’s a relief…for now.
Weve had a ton of other fun things too. Wife had cataract surgery. That turned into retinal detachment and she needed surgery for that. But…they couldn’t do it for 3 weeks because she was sick and needed to get better until she could get it. Then…we just found mold in our house. Broken pipe for washing machine. Another expense.
On the flip side…wife and I have been having MUCH better communication over the last six months. We talked about things that we should have talked about even before we got married, so that things didn’t have to get out of hand like they did. I am doing a better job of giving her touch and listening without trying to fix her issues. She is meeting more of my physical needs. She is also opening up more about things she wanted to try. Same for me.
My mental health has become a lot better since Ive been able to become more vulnerable with her. Plus she is touching my body more, which makes me feel connected more.
It’s fine. Just got back from a holiday with friends and feel light as a feather. Thanks for asking.
Well to be honest it’s going reasonably well considering I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 64. It’s been a long struggle but I’m on a positive path forward to a better future.
I’m waiting for the results of my job interview.
Well, the girl on the left in that Milan ad under your post was pretty hot so… I’m alright. How about you?
It’s actually Pride month….
I have definitely been better.
I’m mentally tired all the damn time. From the moment i wake up, to the moment i go to sleep.
And the weird thing is, is that i can’t think of any reason why i i should be so damn tired. Work-stress is mostly fine, i lost 30kg last year and am finally consistently at a decent weight for the first time in 15 years. I’m eating healthy. I play sports. No worries from my social life. I no longer have stress from buying my first house.
I was way less tired when i was stressed 24/7.
I just don’t get it and it’s starting to affect my work performance.
But thanks for asking. It feels good te vent sometimes.
I can’t complain, thanks for asking.
Screwing up. My ex wife pretty much says she wants to get back together if we move to a different state with money we don’t even have and I was just denied a job interview.
Became a father a little over a month ago so not bad.
Life is great honestly. Healthy, killing it, back in school, doing great! Thanks for checking in.
Not where i want to be, but for the first time in my life I’m at a place mentally where I’ve accepted that the only one to blame for why I’m not where i want to be physically, financially and romantically is all because of myself. Nobody put a gun in my head snd forced me to eat, to stay and accept disrespect snd breadcrumbs from my 2 exes, to waste money, to be lazy, to watch porn and everything else that ruins the dopamine receptors…All me. And it stops today. Can’t expect people to love and respect you when you don’t love and respect yourself, and the way you do that is by showing up for yourself through discipline. Getting my body, mental and bank account right!
Lets go guys!

It is what it is.
Work and sleep and meaningless hobbies to fill the void of purpose to my life.
At least I make enough to support my family
All things considered, not too bad. Intermittently stressed by family and work. Currently stressing about getting a lot of things taken care of before leaving on vacation next week, but that’s a good problem to have!
Better than I have ever been. Life is good. Thank you
I almost ended it all the other day. Had my meds adjusted and I’m better now. There’s a baseline sadness but I’m handling it okay now. Feeling pretty lonely but eh, we all seem to.
I gained a ton of weight while depressed and now I’m miserable about the weight. I can barely move, my knees are crumbling, and it’s all my fucking fault. I don’t want any rah rah “no more zero days” bullshit or whatever, I just want to vent.
Good. I’m making progress in therapy after years of isolation and anxiety. I also was invited to a friend get together this weekend, thanks!
Not bad. My job is annoying. My house is expensive. I need to lose a lot of weight.
I can eat whatever I want.
I can travel wherever I want.
I can have sex anytime I want.
I can wake up and go to sleep anytime I want.
So I guess I’m living my best life I could ever imagine.
On a journey navigating a recent ADHD diagnosis. Feeling hopeful, despite feeling sad that so many things in the past could’ve gone differently if I had only recognized it and pursued treatment earlier on. So much missed potential, but so much opportunity now that I’m starting to understand that life doesn’t have to be like that.
My greatest self-defeating behavior is desiring my mother’s approval even though anything I want to do with my life (save one option) she doesn’t deem “worthy.”
I am usually self-assured in my life and yet when it comes to her it’s like I revert to being a kid seeking his mom’s approval.
I know I need to just forget about it and sometimes I do and other times I find myself fudging the details of my life so to her it won’t seem as bad.
I really need to do some business stuff that is critical for my livelihood, but I can’t seem to bring myself to do it for some reason. I feel like my days are just slipping through my fingers and all of the wasted time brings me a lot of anxiety.
Eh, I’ve been better. Idk why today of all days is so ruff for me but it’s kicking my ass ngl
kill me
I’m doing relatively okay aside from work. Got pushed out of my previous role into this one and I’m over it. For the first time I’ve reached the stage where I wake up and really, earnestly don’t really want to deal with work.
But the job market in this industry is crap at the moment and going elsewhere would almost certainly result in a significant pay cut. Sucks.
Numb, genuinely numb to everything.
I don’t feel feelings anymore and I can’t recall the last time I felt much of anything honestly. I don’t really feel bad about it because I can still empathize, I still love my children but I no longer really care about much other than making sure my children succeed.
I got divorced a year ago and didn’t feel much of a reaction to it, I really honestly and truly feel numb to the world and I just don’t know if I care about anything anymore.
I’m too stressed as I’m about to finish my thesis and graduate. I still don’t know what’s waiting for me after that. And some stuff happened that I haven’t gotten over yet. Sometimes, I wish I would be dead. But I try to find even a small motivation to keep going. Thanks for asking tho.
