Shit is getting better though. Incrementally. Niggas used to look at me like I had 3 heads when I said I was talking over some shit with a therapist.

Same here
but I am optimistic
I see more and more brothers coming to the realization that our mental health and well being are important

it is crazy this thread is so empty.
why are we looked at as weak or a pussy for needing help?
i personally hold in tons of shit for that very reason. i can admit it.
alot of shit my wife doesnt even know because.......i dont want to seem like i dont have it together..
so i always say i got it. ill take care of it. im cool
its not her fault. its mine but it doesnt change that im still holding things close to the chest.
and at the end of the day......when i do open up a bit.....people say they cant relate because they say my life isnt the reality for your normal black man.
like what the fuck does that even mean?
so i close up again.

I mean, I honestly don't know what you want niggas to come in here and say. Nobody takes out mental health seriously. The end. We all agree on the shit. Lol.

Was called weak by my own moms and sisters for opening up when I was younger so people can miss me with that toxic masculinity shit and that we do ut to eachother.
My last girl told me I never open up, got a lot of trauma, spoke only on a little of it and she was gone 2 weeks later.
We really need an open space and I would encourage young boys to be able to speak on shit thats bothering them.
Keeping everything bottled up will only make you depressed and eventually become a cold person or commit that.

yea.....very true.....
trauma is a mf'er. shit can literally eat away at you.
