Taking mental health seriously as a man has been a game changer

Used to think talking about my feelings or admitting when I was struggling was weak. Now I realize that's probably why I hit rock bottom a few years ago. Started journaling, talking to a couple guys I trust, got on meds for a bit, and just being honest about my mental state has changed everything. My kids see a dad who's managing himself instead of just reacting to life. It's not easy but it's worth it.

This is real talk right here. Co-parenting three kids has taught me pretty quick that keeping stuff bottled up doesn't help anyone, especially the kids. Glad you figured that out before you had to hit rock bottom.

Respect for saying this out loud. Between the work schedule and trying to be there for my kids, I definitely need reminders that talking about the hard stuff isn't weakness.
