Dealing with mental illness after a traumatic event has been a difficult battle. But as a 51-year-old man, I am slowly learning to find strength in the midst of it all. It’s not easy, and there are days when I feel overwhelmed and lost. But I’ve also found moments of clarity and hope. I’ve discovered that it’s okay to seek help and to not have all the answers. It’s okay to take small steps forward and to celebrate small victories. I’ve found support through therapy and connecting with others who have gone through similar experiences. While the journey is far from over, I am hopeful that I can continue to find the strength to heal and move forward. Thank you for being a part of this community where I can share and find support.
