<p>There are so many reasons to create this episode about Men in Pain, which is really the conversation on the topic of Men and their mental health. Whether you are a man that struggles with this very darkness or you know somebody in your life affected by it, this is for you. I have felt alone, isolated, letting my past mistakes dictate my present and future, and felt trapped in the darkness of not being able to feel, express, and understand my emotions and traumas in life. We simply can't ignore that men die by suicide 3.5 times more often than women. Forty-nine percent of men feel more depressed than they admit to people in their lives. About 6 of every 10 men experience at least one trauma in their lives. I am one of those men and ready to shine a light into this darkness and tell my story in hopes it can help others. I've been to my lowest of lows contemplating suicide. This is a story of my pain that has grown to a story of healing against many odds. I never ever imagined I could be here right now with the ability to share all the lows in my life and attach meaning to it. If you are here, you are not alone, we are not alone, we can build a better mental health future together. </p>
