It gets better. I never understood what was wrong with me. Emotional struggles coupled with anxiety and stress. Everything came in focus when I officially had my meltdown. Medication helps. I take 800mg of Seroquel to sleep everyday. The noise goes away. I eat. I get good sleep. I know when I'm high and Low. My safe place is for me. I don't want anyone in my home. I've taken up a few hobbies to keep busy. Don't feel ashamed.
My husbands childhood friend drank his way into cvicu. We saw him today sedated and almost lifeless. I hope he pulls through. I started crying because he is in here right now because he is afraid to get help. We lost his other friend last year to suicide, I cried so hard. Men are important, and other men need to stop putting down men with mental problems, women need to stop saying man up. We need our men to be emotionally healthy. Y’all are seen, we are on your side. Please please, get help don’t be afraid🥺
You’re choking me up, please everybody check on your friends. Listen and care for each other, offer comfort, encourage each other to get mentally healthy. God feels everything we do, and vice versa.
This was hands-down the best webinar I have ever attended. You kept me engaged from the first sentence. You seamlessly broke the topics down into small wins. The information was easier to receive because of your delivery. THANK YOU!
I chose the medication. I used to take 800mg of seroquel just to get me to sleep. My Dr also gave me buPROPion 150mg to help with anxiety. Discussions about mental health and wellness comes with a stigma. The emotional pain, the realization of the source, the coping mechanisms .... the FEAR of judgement. The HIGHS and the LOWS. I experienced a significant loss which triggered my mental episode. I'm so grateful that the authorities knew exactly what to do. The healing process is ongoing. A few days ago I was a victim of an assault. A violent attack. I was stabbed 3 times. When I came back home, the voices came back. I swallowed all of my pain medication in an attempt to make the voices go away. I realized I hadn't slept in 48hrs. Everything the voices said they did: wasn't true. I cried. I cried. I cried. I prayed. I'm so scared to leave home. I'm so scared to sleep. I'm so scared to feel like I'm so vulnerable.
In some cases I just think the doctors don't really know what's going on and if you tried to explain it to them they'll think that have some form of mental health. Because they haven't been informed.
My therapist said the same thing to me! He recommended I go back to school, which is something I’m considering next year. Is there anyway I can reach you? An email or instagram?
Can’t sleep at 3:30AM. I finally found this. I cried so hard watching this. Man I needed that.
I pray that you heal more and more every day brother , you got this !!

Same Here, I am going into social work and I am seeing this and how we are not represented.
7 months late....Blessings to you.. brother...I hope this message finds you in good spirits...
Can you be so emotionally exhausted to where you get depressed? You just get so tired of feeling so many things that you dont know how to process.
Absolutely
Yes
Bless this man… this the exact reason I decided to become a therapist and go back to school! This is beautiful!

I cannot believe I’ve been searching and searching for answers that all along were there. This puts things in perspective so much.
One of the best TEdX I've watched....its our unspoken cross to carry in this life......
You just don’t know who needed to hear this. In the south it’s really tough to get folks to understand our struggles. Thank you!
This was so timely and, simply put, OUTSTANDING!
It was a great speech! Mental health is important at any stage of life.
Needed to hear this
Love this! Continue the conversation

This was so good! Definitely encouraged me to keep in this mental health industry!
One of the many reasons why I become a mental health professional

Thanks!
Everytime i try to talk to my mom about this kind of thing she looks for a distraction
It's brutal man. I don't vent my emotions to my parents cus they will just invalidate them at the end
In some cases I just think the doctors don't really know what's going on and if you tried to explain it to them they'll think that have some form of mental health. Because they haven't been informed.

Wow this sounds like my life

Emotional exhaust makes a whole lot of since
The title of this video is divisive men's mental health.doesn't discriminate. Doesn't matter what colour you are!!
Self accountability is the only end to the struggle.

Blaming others, excuses, denial, deceit and delusion...
Only a white person would say something like this, typical
?
Dude fall back; white men like YOU have always had mental issues that have been addressed. Stop trolling our spots!
Go home no one asked Mr. Mayo
Don't forget the main problem...
