Some nights, I lie awake staring at the ceiling, my mind racing with everything I couldn’t finish that day — work deadlines, bills, family stuff. It’s not just being tired. It’s that heavy weight of stress that settles deep in your chest and won’t let you breathe easy. I used to think I could just push through, like I always did. But the sleepless nights started piling up, and it wore me down. I felt frustrated, angry, and sometimes just plain numb. Talking about it? That’s not easy. There’s this expectation to be strong, to handle everything without complaining. But the truth is, carrying all that pressure alone breaks you. Eventually, I realized I had to find ways to manage the stress before it managed me. Simple things helped — like stepping outside for fresh air, doing breathing exercises, and carving out time just for myself. It’s still a struggle. Some days are better than others. But opening up, even just to myself, made a difference. If you’re going through this too, remember — it’s okay not to be okay. You don’t have to carry it all alone. #Health #MenHealth
