I'll believe that when I see it. If men were able to ask for help, we wouldn't have such high suicide rates.

First men need places to ask help of.

I know there is one man out there who has friends he talks to and also perhaps a therapist. Same as women. That guy? That semi-theoretical guy is hot. That guy knows how to communicate like you wouldn't believe.

I have friends I can talk to, a therapist, and medication.

I still have a lot of difficulty communicating what's rattling around my head, and I'm still not doing great.

Communication is the key to almost everything. Being able to have a social network you can depend on, that's a real treasure. And having a counselor to help you through mental problems is an absolute goldmine. I hope men can open their eyes to that reality without fear.
