Men cry, men break down, men suffer from eating disorders and body dysmorphia, men have suicidal thoughts, men die by suicide, men suffer with mental illness. It's not unmanly to struggle.

I had really bad postpartum depression after I had my son... everyone was too embarrassed to talk about it. They thought everyone would think they were a bad mom, and it’s not the case.

Understanding therapy. Therapy reality: feeling seen, heard, validated, and supported.

Depression is also smaller than you. Always, it is smaller than you, even when it feels vast. It operates within you, you do not operate within it. It may be a dark cloud passing across the sky but - if that is the metaphor - you are the sky. You were there before it. And the cloud can’t exist without the sky, but the sky can exist without the cloud.
