Finding myself isolated and struggling with depression has been a difficult experience, especially as a 24-year-old man. It can feel like I’m the only one going through this, but I know I’m not alone. I’ve been reaching out to others and trying to build connections, whether it’s through online support groups or reaching out to old friends. It’s been a slow process, but I’m starting to feel less alone. It’s important to remember that it’s okay to feel this way and that there is help available. I want to encourage others in the same situation to reach out, to not be afraid to seek support. We’re all in this together, and there are people who care and want to help. Let’s work towards finding connection and community in our lives, despite the challenges we face.
