It’s been a tough year for all of us, and I want to acknowledge the impact that 2020 has had on our mental health. As a 21-year-old man, I’ve struggled with PTSD from everything that happened last year. The constant stress, fear, and uncertainty really took a toll on me. But I’ve been taking steps to heal and cope with it. I’ve found that reaching out to a supportive community, practicing mindfulness, and seeking professional help has been incredibly beneficial for me. I know it can be tough to talk about these things, but it’s so important to seek help and find ways to cope. I want to encourage other young men who may be struggling to know that it’s okay to not be okay, and it’s okay to seek help. We are all in this together, and healing is possible.
