Man Up and Get Help
How many men dare not admit to this terrible internal pain because socially it is a sign of weakness, or worse, it carries the stigma of a mental affliction? Men are expected to man up and not be wimps.
Yes depression hurts. And it can hurt men even more severely than women. Men suffer in silence, sometimes seething with anger in an unconscious effort to suppress the unbelievable pain of severe depression.
The pain of depression is not isolated, like say tennis elbow, you know the pain is located in your elbow. Depression engulfs your entire being, everywhere, your body, your brain, your mind--your soul.
The victims are wide spread. A fun loving man may turn moody, a happy man sad, a passive man aggressive, a gentle man becomes a bully, a loving man beats his wife, a successful man turns into a failure. Severe depression dramatically changes the personality of the sufferer.
Anyone who tells you that you can buck up, think your way out, or meditate your way out of this condition is a nutball. Face it, if you are depressed you will need drugs, and depending on the severity of the disease, maybe a lot of them, and time, maybe even some counseling. And then once you are at least partially sane again, working on your mind and meditating will bring you back to something close to normal, whatever normal is.
Just think happy thoughts--shape up, be a man--what a load of BS some ignoramuses will try to dump on very sick human beings. Even your family will not understand how exhausting it can be just to tie your shoes or how difficult it is to make rational decisions. They may not comprehend your suffering.
There are many theories as to how one becomes cursed with this affliction. It may be heredity, bad genes--post-traumatic stress syndrome, or the stress of conditions you cannot seem to control, childhood trauma--the list seems endless.
Any kind of severe setback--for men, a divorce, business failure, stress in the work place, loss of a job, death of a loved one are just a few examples of what can awaken this killer of happiness within you. It can occur at any time in a male's life, young or old.
Although depression feels like an emotional disease, and yes it does affect the emotions, it is actually physical, an electrical - chemical problem in the brain--the disintegration of neurotransmitters, a neurochemical that transmits nerve impulses, messages, to various parts of the frontal lobe--a sort of short circuit. Thanks to technology and research help is readily available--these important messengers can be restored.
The internet alone will provide tons of information and tests that you can take privately to determine, at least initially, whether you are infected, yes infected, it is a disease of the brain.
If you do find yourself suffering from depression take solace it is curable. The big first step is to admit it to yourself, to confirm if depression is the cause of your suffering. At least then you will have some inkling why you feel so crappy all of the time.
Man up, for the sake of yourself, your family and everyone around you, you know something is not right, see your doctor, insist--with medical help you can overcome the sadness and get somewhere close to happy again.
