As a 23-year-old man, I never thought I would find myself seeking counseling for my depression. It felt like a sign of weakness at first, but it has turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. The support and guidance I have received have given me a new sense of hope and purpose. I am learning to cope with my emotions and finding healthier ways to manage my mental health. I want to encourage anyone else who may be struggling to seek help, it’s not easy, but it’s worth it. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and counseling has been the beacon that guides me towards it.
