S2:E15 - Silent Struggles: Unpacking Male Loneliness & The Search For Connection

In today's episode, we take on a very overlooked epidemic: Male loneliness. Over the last few months, we've heard from countless men who have expressed the need for connection and help, yet are too fearful or ashamed to seek that help. One such account happened to comment on our CZcams channel which we respond to later in the episode.
You won't wanna miss this one!

Hello again Keilani and James,

[@Pikawarps]

With the current system, being honest about how we feel has real world consequences. I refused to seek treatment for my mental health problems for years because if the therapist decided i wasn’t mentally stable, they could get my firearm rights revoked with nothing more than their opinion of my mental state.

Thank you for this

I think this conversation is good or it’s fine but it’s missing major parts based in the reality of the world we live in. Even beyond what another commenter on the legal system as far as firearms.

My father is the type of man that anything emotional or asking for help or even crying us a sign of weakness. Any little thing even like taking back an ex was me being weak and I hid under drugs for so long that once I finally got sober, everything I ever "swept under the rug" came flying back into reality. And even though I'm sober now, my way if life seems way worse, cause bow I'm depressed and never want to leave my room except for work. And now my dad will always bring up I'm 34 years old doing bothing with my life but laying in that freaking room and he will say the meanest things and then will say you can talk to me so it's just been very confusing trying to communicate all my pains from my pasts. I want to get out of this cycle of addictions rather its drugs or gambling or lottery tickets or sports cards, it's like everything I give up, I replace with something else that takes all my money pretty much and I feel like I'm just punishing myself at this point for something.
