I’m on vacation so I don’t have time to devote to a proper sidebar, icons, etc until next week. So for now talk about men’s mental health issues, and don’t be a dick. That’s all.

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.

I'm looking for a therapist too and I'm in the same boat. Kinda of a throw a dart at a dartboard and see what you get I guess.

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.

So I updated my description, and shamelessly stole some of the rule verbage from !mentealhealth if that’s ok. Feel free to link over here from the sidebar. Hopefully this will help folks.

No worries! Feel free to use them any way you need. We'll link to you in the sidebar soon

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 !mentalhealth@lemmy.world :
