Way to highlight one of the problems. Men are just supposed to just deal with things and keep it moving. ‘Real’ men aren’t supposed to reach out to friends, family, or professionals for help. Instead they internalize that shit and eventually can’t handle it.

And their ancestors offed themselves too. Middle aged men killing themselves at a higher rate than the general population is not a new thing.

The rise in social acceptance of suicide is likely a very large contributor.
