As males we are so often shunned when opening up about feeling sad, depressed or anxious so we learn to keep it to ourselves. The emotion doesn’t go away though so we turn it into a more “manly” emotion, anger. Then we let that emotion out, on people who upset us, family members, strangers, co-workers, friends etc. We then feel bad after we’ve let it out, which makes us feel sad, depressed or anxious again, which we then turn into anger and bottle it up waiting for it to overflow again and continue the vicious cycle until it becomes too much.
Time to end the cycle, it’s ok to be sad, to be depressed, to be anxious. It’s ok to cry, to need a hug, to need comfort from a loved one. It’s OK.
