Here is an attempt to be the change I speak of. If you're anyone going through difficult mental health times leave a message here or DM. Men are especially encouraged to speak and break through the social norms of bottling everything up.

I'll begin.

December has been rough due to the unprofessional actions of several, combined with #COVID19 finally causing a real strain on my work.

Thanks to a friend who I won't call out here, as I didn't speak to him about this, I've been able to stay focused on long-term goals...

I'm one that typically keeps what's bothering me inside (I grew up in the same socialization where that is expected of boys growing up), even now it's a challenge to open up even though I realize that I should.
