Get outside, stay active, stay busy, and destress appropriately. Much easier said than done. God bless those fighting demons.
men talking about their pain to another man, not Oprah. that's legit.
Yeah suicide no joke. I have those thoughts nearly everyday now. Luckily I'm still here...... now.
Thank you Lindsey Vonn for reaching out and helping kids that deal with Anxiety, depression and cut themselves. I used to cut my arms with razor blades when I was a teen in the 1990's. I used to take away the mental and emotional trauma for a short period and then would have to do it again a couple days later. For almost 3 years would slice my arms with the blades almost every week for like 36 months. Friends and people at school would ask me what happened to my arms, would lie to them and say I feel down or got hurt doing something else. Friends always used to ask me, why are your arms always cut all the time. Never told anyone the truth friends, people at school or family at home. Would always try to wear long sleeves shirt when I could so people won't ask me about my arms being cut. I started cutting my arms at 12 years old and stopped cutting my arms when I got in high school at 14 years old (1996). Haven't cut my arms on purpose in 28 years, but those memories and mental pain and trauma still stick with me till this day as a 42 year old man. Grateful to still be alive in 2024 after everything I've been through almost the past three decades. This is my first time mentioning to anyone that I used to cut my arm as a teen back in the "90's". 🙏
The common thread is loneliness, not having those around you who notice you're cup isn't full and who provide the emotional preventative maintenance to get you through it. John Lennon was right; it is a need.
I agree. It’s ok to not be ok. Esp men who are taught to not be vulnerable. To not fear. To be the “man”. I have a son, and I pray he sees my growth in my mental health. As a single mother trying to raise a man, it’s hard for me. However, I don’t shy away from letting him know, it’s ok to not be ok. Therapy helps! It like a puzzle of your life you’re trying to put together. Also and most interestingly, is seeking God, listening and applying His teachings along w therapy- I can’t say enough. He is just starting therapy bc he’s 17, but I know what I’ve put him through and to avoid possible future mental problems, i feel acknowledging his painful, silent fears will then help in making a healed man for his future wife, children and society. Men, I’m proud of y’all. Stick to being honest: at least w yourselves. God bless 🙏🏻
Sir thank you for doing this, I've recently been struggling with GAD, my doctor said the pandemic has effect everyone's mental health. The best thing I could do is open up about it, I'm 3 months in, without meds, feeling better. Keep on chugging 🚂
This should have millions of views
If your depressed your doing something wrong in the way you live your life. Fix that before you take medication. Everything has a cause. But nobody talks about fixing the cause. Most people are too stressed, no sleep or little sleep. Don’t eat right and don’t exercise. And then wonder why they feel depressed? Give your body and mind a fighting chance. Before anyone says it. I’ve had it my whole life. And the only way out is to bring balance to life and look after yourself.
Thank you for this! Been struggling with shortness of breath after being infected with covid in May 2020. I'm losing everything. Being a hero in that pandemic was the biggest lie they told us front line workers. Now in my 40's I may never work again. Covid causes severe depression and anxiety!! Those early varients destroyed millions of lives.
Thanks Graham! Maybe the best among your many great editions.
Thank you for putting this together.
Thank you for posting this. 💕
Good post, Graham. Those you interview most always show their humility to discuss their struggles & weakness. Each time this happens I'm reminded of the Apostle Paul's words: "for when I am weak, then am I strong."
Great segment guys. Thanks for doing it. Awesome. Cheers
Thx Graham for bringing this to light.
I like that men are talking about their pain and struggles outloud!!
I started having anxiety and feeling depressed at 10 years old in (1992), 32 years ago. Went through so much mental, emotional, physical trauma as a kid in the 1980's to 1990's at home and at school.
Thank you graham for this video, you definitely help out not only myself but many people.
Thank you for sharing for encouraging your guests to open up their hearts in connection towards thoughts and feelings .
