As a 36-year-old man, I have been dealing with the physical and psychological symptoms of stress for quite some time now. It’s been a tough journey, but I’ve started to take steps to improve my mental health. I find that exercise, talking to a friend or therapist, and practicing mindfulness techniques have been helpful for me. It’s important for us men to open up about our mental health struggles and seek support when needed. I encourage everyone dealing with similar issues to find healthy coping mechanisms and to not be afraid to reach out for help. We’re in this together, and there is hope for a brighter future.
