Ever felt like you were left out or unimportant in your own friend group? Does it feel like your friends are more important to you than you are to them?
You know when your leg falls asleep, and you start to regain feeling in it again? At first, it’s going to feel like pins and needles.
The process is painful and unpleasant.
It’s similar to struggling and trying to change your life for the better. Being unhappy or stuck feels familiar and “comfortable” if you’ve been there for a while, even if you want better for yourself.
You become used to the sadness, anger, frustration, and loneliness…and you don’t dare to hope because if you hope, you open yourself up to the possibility of being disappointed.
Removing numbness almost always begins with pain. But if you stick with it and go through the pain, knowing that there’s light at the end of the tunnel, you’ll eventually start to feel better.
Breaking out of a pattern is difficult but you can do it with the right support system and tools. If you’re not sure where to start, try checking out the Depression Module in Dr. K’s Guide to Mental Health: bit.ly/4orfIU2 💚

Emotions can be overwhelming for a lot of men because we weren’t taught how to process them.
We numb ourselves with video games, partying, the gym, and other hobbies to forget. But avoiding emotions is like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound.
There’s a healthier way to handle your emotions. Maybe one day, you’ll embrace them.

How do you cope with tough emotions?
Do you smile through it? Do avoid them with video games or substances? Or do face them head on?
Sometimes it’s easier to push them down and pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll rise to the surface eventually…and oftentimes in ugly ways.

You need to take care of yourself, including getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, processing your emotions, and reducing stress.
Don’t save rest and self-care just for weekends, make it a daily practice.
Sometimes you won’t be able to do all these things perfectly if you’re working 60, 70, 80 hour weeks.
It’s a delicate balancing act that requires a lot of planning ahead and organization.
Check out our Career Primer to learn more about how to navigate the grind.
