As a 37-year-old man struggling with depression and not showering, it’s been a difficult and isolating experience. I’ve often felt ashamed and disconnected from the world around me. However, I am here to share my story and remind others that there is hope. I’ve been taking small steps towards self-care and seeking professional help, and it’s been making a difference. It’s okay to not be okay, and it’s okay to ask for help. I want to encourage other men out there who may be facing similar challenges to reach out and know that they are not alone. It’s a journey towards healing, but it’s a journey worth taking. Together, we can support each other and find the light in dark times.
