Men’s Mental Health
I’m admittedly new to running a community anywhere online, but saw a need so I’m trying to fill it and help where I can. I’ve had plenty of my own issues over the years and am hoping for a safe space where men can discuss their own brands of issues. For now we’re gonna run by the Bartender Rule & few other rules stolen shamelessly from [email protected] :
Together, we make this community great. Thank you for being here. Please actively participate in the discussions. Please show respect and empathy when replying to posts.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
1-Posts promoting paid products and services of any kind are not allowed here.
2-All our content must be helpful and appropriate. Do not put vulnerable people at risk and mind the way you approach when need be.
3-Do not DM any of our members unless they specifically request it. Likewise, if a person from here disturbs you, you are encouraged to report them to us(with evidence) and block them. They will be banned instantly.
4-Posts about suicide and/or dying are not allowed here. Your content may trigger others & put them at risk, and we do NOT want that to happen.

Oh this is timely.
I just started looking for a new therapist again. It's been a few years since I had/needed one. But here we are. After being laid off for four months with no work in sight. After not being as nice to my kids as I would like to be. After falling to make big life decisions about where to live. And mostly after just being fucking annoyed like almost all of the time, I'm ready to get help.
Now the problem is figuring out who to see.. There are a lot of options but basically no information about any of the therapists, counselors, LCSWs or whatever in my neighborhood.
It can take some time to find the right therapist for you. And you might go through a few of them. So don't get discouraged friends! You'll find the right person to help you, it just might take a little trial and error. Just something to keep in mind.
