MENS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH: Top 3 leading causes of death in young men is suicide. As someone who grew up self harming in the outright fashion (cutting & burning myself) and later on self harm in ways that are more socially acceptable: overdrinking, party drugs, driving while under the influence. Suicide has always been an option, if not, the first option for me. I just never really was happy with my life, the thing that controls how i see the world being “messed up” struggles to sleep, struggles to feel love, struggles to eat all these things that make us human, i struggled with. I feel like I existed in my anxieties & depression for most of my life not by choice but it just is this dark dye that pollutes the water of life eventually i was just surrounded by darkness, still a 13 year old boy but a man exteriorly with the responsibilities of a man. The only way I could identify myself and who I was as a man was my work & how I provide. And when I couldnt lean on those things my mental health took a toll. You absolutely are so much more than those things that make you a “man” and you deserve to be seen and see yourself as more than that. I am no expert but I hope through sharing my journey throughout this week A path, but not the only path to a healthier mental is revealed and we can begin to clear out a bit of that darkness of the mind.
