As a 47-year-old man, I never thought I would be faced with the intellectual symptoms of stress. It has been a challenging road, but I have found solace in seeking help and connecting with others who understand what I am going through. It’s not easy to admit when something is wrong, but taking that first step towards addressing my mental health has been a game-changer. I encourage anyone else who may be experiencing similar symptoms to reach out and seek support. You are not alone, and there are resources available to help navigate this difficult time. Remember, it’s okay to not be okay, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
