As a 26-year-old man who has struggled with the lingering effects of a traumatic birth, I have been on a difficult path to healing. The mental and emotional toll of this experience has been immense, but I am determined to overcome it. I have sought therapy and support from loved ones, and I am slowly learning to reframe my thoughts and find peace within myself. It’s not easy, but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I want to encourage anyone else who has experienced a traumatic birth or any other mental health challenge to seek help and know that it is possible to overcome the impact it has had on our lives. We are strong and capable of healing, and we deserve to live fulfilling and happy lives despite our past struggles.
