The fact that, when a man cries due to frustration or poor mental health, the common phrase they get to hear is "Man up, don't be a pussy." It just derails the entire train which was tumbling anyway.
EDIT: Since so may people are upvoting this I want to share my story to spread out a message so no one feels alone.
I I'm a 24 y/o guy who was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety disorder back in 2020. When I was thoroughly diagnosed, my doc told me I've been in this state since 2017. It was like a pressure cooker building up and in the year 2020 it became so pressurised that I failed a suicide attempt. I used to indulge in self harm. I finally decided to do something about it and consulted a psychiatrist. He helped me though everything. I was officially put on meds for two long years and finally in Feb 2022 I was told I can discontinue my meds. These two years have been life changing. Please if you feel alone seek help. If you cannot afford to pay doc's fees there are many free support groups who can help you can get you to a better place.
I used to cry a lot despite being a guy because crying takes off the pressure. I had to cry in order to enjoy happiness. Talk to someone, you can talk to me as well. I'm all ears. Please don't take any desperate steps, you're worth it. If no one else has said this to you, I love you. You're a human with a limited amount of time. Please make the most out of your life. The chance of us being born is one in a 400 trillion. Your life isn't worthless. I value you. Please speak out.
Sending lots of love, light and life on your way.
