It’s true that most men won’t bring up the subject, particularly when in a group. But that said one on one can be a lot more effective but it has to go both ways. Sometimes just venting and talking without seeking advice is good. Often just hearing support and friendship goes a long ways. I’ve got a good buddy who’s going through difficult times, but has also been there for me. I see some other friends struggling and they won’t talk about it or in a limited way. While life isn’t all sunshine it’s important to do some degree of daily gratitudes, movement/exercise, calming and finding a peaceful place (physically and/or mentally). Can’t say I’ve done great either particularly with some situations the last few years. Oddly enough this CP squad, despite the anonymity, has covered a lot of stuff for me. So keep it up everyone.
