First time poster here. It’s been such a rough few years if i’m keeping it G. From divorce with my daughters mom almost 10 years ago (Which was my doing, fortunately we’re on great terms for her), struggling with sobriety (Alcohol & Weed), 2 suicide attempts, losing family members & friends back to back.. man.. idk just where i’m at in life right now as well (30M), my career as a jeweler & how i’m doing on that journey to be one of the best & the pressure that comes with it, etc.. it’s just a lot

I called my best friend last night & just broke down man. Just telling him how tired I was, and that I never really just got to air that shit out. How my failures lead me to this unsatisfactory life that I live now. Don’t get it twisted i’m grateful for waking up today. I know a lot of us didn’t. I just told him how much regret & remorse I still hold against myself. He was very supportive through my whole vent. We just had a long talk about everything that was holding me down.

I was super vulnerable. Told him about my confidence & self esteem issues as well, because I put on that face like i’m good. It was such a weight off my shoulders to steer away from that norm of “Your a man, you can’t cry or show your feelings because no one cares. I don’t deem that to be true. There are people out there, whether it’s family or friends or even a stranger that will listen, probably have gone through the same shit. Keep those people close.

TLDR: As men, mental health is so important. Don’t think you have to bottle that shit up until it explodes & you do or say something you regret. Look dawg if you’re reading this, I don’t give a fuck, if any of you just need a stranger to vent to, send me a message man. I’m just a normal guy like you. I wish you gentlemen all love & success, sincerely. Love from TX!
