this reminds me of my ex who would have crazy mental break downs and refuse to go to therapy and refuse my help then in the same breath cry about me not being there for him bc he was a man who wasn’t allowed to have feelings. resources and support are out there he was just stuck in the “i’m the victim bc i’m a man and there’s nothing i can do about it.”
They can talk about whatever they like as can this forum. my point was more the irony of the og poster complaining that women have more of a stage to talk about mental health… all while this person themself is focusing on women in a men’s mental health chat. If that makes sense, maybe I’m misunderstanding the situation
and his friends were surprisingly supportive of mental health issues so after that i find it so hard to feel bad for men who complain like this. it just pisses me off 😭 like accept the help and resources that are out there or stfu. if ur actively trying and hitting walls that’s one thing, but at least exhaust ur options and accept the help when it’s offered. mental health issues a stigma for both genders and i’ve had my fair share of feeling unheard and dismissed. u just have to keep trying.
