So I know this isn’t a sexy topic or one that grown men are generally comfortable with. It seems to be a topic gaining traction because of athletes, actors, the need for mental health as it relates to mass shootings, etc. What doesn’t seem to get a lot of conversation is mental health for those in our own families. Again I know this is a tough subject and for too long men haven’t wanted to admit a self need or for privacy wanted to share what’s happening within their own family.
A few of you maybe more know I’ve shared difficulties my daughter(s) have faced and how fragile at times I even feel. If anything those episodes prepared our family for Covid more than anything. Almost losing a child to suicide and dealing with kids with eating disorders kinda helps reprioritize things in your life.
I may be anonymous but I can empathize with many of you that may be struggling or dealing with problems within the family.
Certainly you all don’t have to air everything out so publicly like I have chosen, but this website has provided me a place I feel safe to do so and it’s helped me. If anyone needs or wants to drop me a line privately I’m happy to chat through this site, via email, over the phone or in person.
We all came here because we love IU sports. Ya’ll are my brothers like it or not (even you @Mas-sa-suta you POS!). Let’s show some compassion every once in awhile regardless of our political leanings and differences. Hold tight to what makes us the same and I think we’ll all benefit greatly. Cheers, Eppy
P.S. I may have just binged Ted Lasso.
