I can remember watching the news with my Dad when I was a kid. There was a Vietnam vet on tv crying about his experience. Dad just says, well you gotta get over that, and went and did something else then.Therapy?...Mental issues?...
Being a man is eating emotions, feelings, depressions and just doing what needs done without waivering. Stuff that $hit down and move the F on.
Now it's all about feelings and emotions. Talk to that "mental professional" that will give your info to the gov't when they want to take your rights away and red flag you.
Man up. Who did your dad talk to? Who did your grand dad talk to? They were men. They had their thoughts and did what they knew was right.
Tuck that sack back and cry on the shoulder of a stranger and see where it gets you...
Cool story Bro.I can remember watching the news with my Dad when I was a kid. There was a Vietnam vet on tv crying about his experience. Dad just says, well you gotta get over that, and went and did something else then.
When you realize you have a problem ... then you doDo you have a drinking problem or do people have a problem with you drinking....Big difference I have found!
wait, what? You're the one telling everyone that uses these tools that they aren't men, they "tuck their sacks" etc. The only person being rude as **** is you.Wow. I'm being called names. Now I am depressed and need to talk to someone. I think I'll go on a firearm site and expect everyone to see things how I do and call them names if they don't. Reality has escaped your grasp.
This is great advice. I saw a psych for a few months, first to diagnose then to find the right option for me. We tried a few different meds that didn't work for me. That's been about 15 or so years ago. Did therapy when the meds started to lose their effectiveness in late 19 early 20 before shutting it down. Saw a psych again that year to find an alternative and along with the tools from Therapy it's been good for hte last 4 years. There are ups and downs but not as severe as they used to be before I got help.For any who might be struggling with mental health issues, please get the help you need. Your life and well being are more important than the ignorance and insecurity of others. Also, don't settle for less than the best help available. Get an evaluation from a Psychiatrist instead of just relying on a GP to proscribe meds. If you need therapy, instead or in addition to medication, don't settle for a poor fit or a therapist that isn't willing to work at least as hard as you are.
I think the rise in depression and anxiety has multiple factors. But I will say modern therapy probably isn’t helping. I don’t think a lot of effort by therapists today is spent trying to teach people how to face problems and overcome them.Therapy has turned generation of Americans into 'victims,' experts say
There has been a big push to get more Americans talking about their feelings in recent decades. But now experts are starting to wonder if the widespread use of therapy may be having the opposite effect.www.dailymail.co.uk
i haven't gone for a really long time now. The biggest thing i got out of therapy was discovering that anxiety was causing some physical symptoms for me. I was getting dizzy and light-headed a lot, basically i was almost hyperventilating, but didn't know it.This is great advice.

I thought I was having a heart attack. At 40. tightening chest, hard to breathe, which only fueled it to become worse. Self fulfilling prophecy I guess.i haven't gone for a really long time now.

what do you call "today's therapy?" Because, 4 years isn't that long ago. The therapist then was about helping her patients confront their issues, learn to tackle them and deal with them before they become something worse. Learn to be present, understand what is concerning you and dealing with that.I think the rise in depression and anxiety has multiple factors. But I will say modern therapy probably isn’t helping. I don’t think a lot of effort by therapists today is spent trying to teach people how to face problems and overcome them.
But if I were going to pinpoint what these people are missing that previous generations had, I’d say it’s two no-nonsense parents raising their kids. Make them do chores. Don’t just hand them an easy life. Learning problem resolution as early as the kid can possibly solve it makes the kid grow up learning problems are solvable.
We see so many tictoks posted by young people literally crying about simple life problems as if what they’re facing is insurmountable. If you think every little molehill is an impassible mountain, you, that’s gonna give you anxiety. That’s gonna make you depressed.
Is it therapy at fault? Lots of people suffer from anxiety and depression that are not on therapy. But like I said, today’s therapy ain’t helping. The only kind of therapist that can possibly hope to replace a childhood’s worth of strong parents, is one who is a strong parent himself. Introduce some baby problems, and let the person figure those out. Then move onto progressively bigger problems. Maybe take the person through re-growing up. Non-serious parents are ****ing their kids up, and so are ****ing society up.
My brother did, too. I've experienced that, but i knew by then that it was probably anxiety.I thought I was having a heart attack. At 40. tightening chest, hard to breathe, which only fueled it to become worse. Self fulfilling prophecy I guess.

Don't forget about EXTENSIVE time on their phones.Therapy didn't do this to the younger generations. Colleges, Universities, Public schools and pop culture did this to the younger generations.
Oh, and helicopter parents/everybody gets a prize. Just doesn't seem to pan out like that in the real world.
Thought it. Didn’t do it.You mean fighting bigoted, closed minded arrogant ***holes? That’s a never ending fight. Understanding that the issues you have are not “your fault”, as in you didn’t cause them, then finding ways to fix it is how I chose to approach it. I will fight for those that are too timid, too scared to find help. Dealing with arrogant ***holes that tell them they just need to suck it up and be a real man while trying to make yourself better? That’s the real suck right there.
Yes, if you have a physical imbalance of chemicals that cause your depression, you will fight it until your last breath. It doesn’t magically go away with “nice thoughts”. Learning to manage it, and to feel “normal” and enjoying your life more is worth that struggle, even if you don’t think so because it doesn’t fit your idea of what a man is.
I’ve gotten a couple of pms from people thanking me for speaking out against the jerks and the “suck it ups”.
This. You are not alone, no matter what it “feels” like. Hard to believe past your feelings, sometimesI want anyone that is struggling to understand it’s ok, you aren’t alone.
There’s no shame. Or at least shouldn’t be.You can seek help, whether it be professional or a friendly ear or caring spouse. There is help out there and it’s not these arrogant pricks telling us we aren’t men/women/people because we just can’t suck it up. My pms are always open if you need someone to talk at. I understand and there are a lot of great people out here that want to help as well.
That second one's gonna be a tough sell. My generation wasn't exactly taking the D.A.R.E. program seriously and our parents hadn't been exactly angels either.Don't forget about EXTENSIVE time on their phones.
And weed.
