As a 48-year-old man, I have been through my fair share of life experiences, some of which have left lasting scars on my mental health. Dealing with trauma at this stage in life can feel overwhelming and isolating, but I know that I am not alone in this struggle. Through seeking out trauma-informed mental health resources and therapy, I have been able to start the process of healing. It’s not easy, and there are good days and bad days, but I am committed to taking care of my mental well-being. I want to encourage other men in similar circumstances to reach out for support and know that it’s okay to ask for help. There is strength in acknowledging our struggles and taking the necessary steps towards healing. Let’s continue to support each other on this journey towards better mental health.
