Bingo. People don't even know the questions to ask. Therapist is basically another teacher. They leaned the questions to ask and are now telling you to ask them to yourself.
Boys are disappearing’ from mental health care as signs of depression go undetected

this will sound controversial but there are too many female therapists and psychologists.
The reason that is a problem is:
1. Many of the female therapists are very biased against men/boys
2. They are unable to relate to the male experience which is important when providing therapy

I think it's the toughest as a young man, cuz you have to build yourself up to become of some value. Unlike women who are born with value.
I've been very open about my issues with my self esteem throughout my life and it was the worst in my late teens and early 20's. The worst thing to feel as a man is to to feel useless and unfortunately we live in a world hell bent on telling men and young boys that we are not needed
I do not see it getting much better honestly in the future. I was able to uplift myself out of that funk through writing (journaling/songwriting), setting achievable goals no matter how small and just telling myself to take it one day at a time.

I don't think it's controversial at all. I think it makes sense based on how our society views emotions and mental health. We think that women have a monopoly on dealing with emotions and emotional intelligence. We rarely take into account how men experience emotions and if that's different than how women do.
This is why we need mens groups and enclaves. If you can teach a group of men how to use goals and exercises to get through it that's valuable.
Not controversial, women wouldn't be able to understand, I totally agree
I've had several occasions to visit a youth mental hospital ward and what really stands out are the disproportionate number of girls to boys.
Totally believe this
Have a feeling that boys with these same issues act out in ways that ends up in lockup and not a mental health facility

The shyt that sucks is that as a man you feel like you have to find a way to figure it out on your own (Shouldn't be that way)
This is because you don't want people to lose respect for you
Just wanna reiterate this point because I don't think women (Especially black women) realize how much telling men and boys they are not needed damages their psyche.
Men being made to feel useless or inadequate is what turns nikkas to crash out dummies who don't give af about anything or anyone.

I'm a comic book writer and creator. I've done a few things in my time and consistently. I have a friend who is an illustrator and is just getting into publishing comics and trying to work on the business side of things. He asked me for advice about Kickstarters and doing conventions where a lot of the real money is made. He assumed I was self assured and completely not nervous about those aspects and I told him I was.
You know what he said to me? "That's a relief, it helps you seem more human."
He didn't say " oh you a bytch. You not supposed to be scared."
Sometimes toughness makes you seem less human and thus less empathetic. Sharing humanity with others makes you seem more relatable not less.

Another issue black men especially have all of our worth is tied up in women and outside shyt. What utilities we can provide what shyt we can buy.
That's a damn trap. Anyone telling you your worth comes from how much p*ssy you get or how much money you make or any materialistic shyt isn't your friend and just wants to be able to control you.
Sometimes that's what it takes. It could have been worse. Could have ended fatally.Yes.

well if brehs are pretending they have no problems, why would they seek help in the first place?
black men ideally would see black male trained professionals. unfortunately there aren't enough to meet the needs of those looking for help, so SOME brehs will have to find a way to heal themselves dolo for the time being. or you could see a black woman, some of em are
or even worse, a cac therapist
