I’ve been struggling with depression and an eating disorder for a while now, and it’s been really difficult to open up about it. As a 46-year-old man, I’ve always felt like I needed to hide my struggles and just push through them on my own. But recently, I’ve been learning the importance of self-care and seeking support. Whether it’s going for a walk, practicing mindfulness, or simply taking time to relax, I’ve found that prioritizing my own well-being has made a huge difference. It’s not easy, and there are still tough days, but I’m starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. I want to encourage anyone else dealing with similar issues to explore self-care techniques and reach out for help. We don’t have to go through this alone.
