Breaking the Stigma

I just wanted to share my experience with cism mental health and hopefully break the stigma surrounding it. As a 27-year-old man, I have often felt pressure to hide my struggles and put on a tough front. But the truth is, mental health doesn’t discriminate based on gender. It’s been a long road, but I’ve found solace in seeking help and opening up about my struggles. I want to encourage other men out there to do the same - it’s okay to not be okay, and it’s okay to ask for help. Let’s work together to break down the barriers and support each other in our mental health journeys.
