No one wakes up and chooses this.

And yet we still hear things like:

This is your reminder:
Struggle is not consent.
Pain is not permission.
Survival is not failure.

Men’s Mental Health Matters 💙

Society often tells men to “tough it out” or “man up,” but the truth is: it’s okay to not be okay. Mental health doesn’t discriminate, and asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Talking about your feelings, sharing what’s going on in your mind, or seeking support is brave—and it can save lives. Whether it’s with a friend, a family member, or a professional, reaching out matters.

Let’s break the stigma. Let’s normalize conversations about emotions. Your mental health is important. You are not alone.
