First half of 2024 has been pretty bad for me unfortunately. It’s been a struggle. Hoping things get better for the rest of the year

I’m always under the impression that nobody don’t care about our mental health like that, it hair sounds cool to say that you do cuz if you so something drastic, it looks bad

How you mean? To me I see a lot of dudes online saying they have nobody to vent too but many won’t get professional help at all. And I get it nobody want to look weak but a lot of what we view as weak was set up by other men who has similar problems.
Before ptsd was talked about folks called it she’ll shock and thought it could be just worked through or to get over it. But we smarter now. I just wish dudes wouldn’t call everything soft just because.
I think as men, we need to give ourselves more credit and more grace when it comes to our mental health
During my last session with my previous therapist, she told me that she was proud to see how far I had come along since we began sessions almost 3 years ago.
She brought up some situations that I guess I kinda forgot about cause when you knee deep in the shit, everything feels like a haze and you can't see the progress
So we're hard on ourselves when we don't have to be

And don’t get started on dudes online complaining they can’t vent to their girl. Which is crazy cuz why you with her. But also your girl can’t deal with the type of trauma that a professional can. What she gonna do for you when both your parents were on drugs and feel like you’re gonna be like them?
Some shit the homies and your girl can’t handle

I mean there is an obvious irony here or something to that degree isn’t there? If my girl cannot handle the trauma that I could put on her, then that means I can’t vent to her. So if I can’t vent to her, then that means I shouldn’t vent to her. I don’t think that makes you a bad person because you need someone to fix a computer, but you can’t because you’re not specialist in that field. However it’s just one of those situations where it is what it is. It makes you feel like you’re alone in this world. Especially when intrinsically you believe that even if you told this to a therapist, they can’t really do anything other than get you to accept something that’s hard to accept.
Like I said the other day, I had to figure out how to deal with my pops dying pretty much on my own. I don’t think there was anything a therapist could’ve told me to accept it. Now it’s possible they could’ve, but sometimes you’re not ready to receive information and also that’s not something easy to accept either. The immediate grief? Like hell no I was not ready to receive that. I heard the generic words but it didn’t matter cuz I was upset and the pain of that, to me? How you gonna get me to be okay with it?? It’s like someone promising you a gift for Christmas Day, the day comes and you don’t get the gift. You don’t have the scope to be able to accept that. It’s just another day and they’ll be other moments to get other gifts. In the moment you’re upset, that’s all that matters in that moment.
