I meant to post this the other day, but please please reach out to somebody, even a hotline, if you're having mental difficulties. I lost yet another friend this week, took his own life. I've lost too many friends to suicide, It's just truly heart breaking, hard, and shocking. Mental health is no joke and should not be stigmatized.. A lot of times for men we're told to just tough it out or some other equally unhelpful saying. You can't say everything will be okay, but together with our family, friends, pets, professionals, and even a random stranger on a hotline, we stand a fighting chance!
