I know most people just scroll past my posts for whatever reason. It honestly doesn't matter to me. Aside from it being pride month, this is also men's mental health awareness month. If it's not I don't care because mental health should never ever be reserved for one month.

Coming from me, a man who deals with these demons daily there are others like me out there who never have their damn voices heard. We are forced to be silent or we are labeled a bitch, weakling, too sensitive among other nasty and hateful terms.

I don't care how big or tough of a person you think you are, you have emotions too...shocker.

Point in all this is, the song Sound of Silence is the staple of mental health issues. We make darkness our friend when we are lonely it comes out of nowhere. The sound of silence is real!!

We are never heard, we are always silent and the anxiety, depression, darkness, negativity feeds off of that. Yeah I'm going to therapy personally because I'm tired of this burden label me for all I care. It takes more strength to admit you have things in your life you need help with stop being so ashamed! I was going strong for awhile there but alas tonight it has happened and I broke but I was ready this time.

No I'm not okay right now but I fight, I fight for my freedom I fight honorably for my happiness I am more of a master of my emotions now than I have been before did it hurt, did it shred me down to the bone yes! But how can people say men like me are weak when we choose to fight back and accept that we also have emotions too.

Stop being so ashamed of who you are emotions and all. Stop judging men because they struggle daily! We all do! Every human on this planet does! Be a man, a true man has emotions and is not ashamed to show them when needed but also can push them down for another day to be strong for the ones he loves.

Mens mental health is important too. In order for us to be strong we must be stoic in facts of not being afraid to deal with our demons and ask for a hand up because we know, a strong warrior has to be clear headed to fight to the full potential.
