Men Don't Need Therapy

I sat on a couch one day thinking to myself, why? Why am I paying $125 for a therapy session and all she told me was to write my thoughts down on paper? Farther more, why am I going to pay another $125 next time just to read it out loud to her? Seems more like a scam than therapy, in my opinion of course. I found this app by just looking up ways to clear my thoughts. Never thought about blogging and how it helps escape and clear one’s mind. I figured, “hell. It’s cheaper than paying for someone to ask HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?” Yes, I know that’s not  how therapy works but hey! I’m a guy, and we don’t do shit like that.

As a man, I can tell you that we don’t enjoy unpacking a suitcase after a vacation or a trip. We will literally leave that shit in a corner til we run out of socks and undies… Or til our spouse points out how lazy we are, and then, of course, we have to get up to prove them wrong.

Emotions, trauma and all the wussy stuff? It’s the same shit as that raggedy  suitcase, we will avoid unpacking it til worlds end!! We aren’t doing that can of RAINBOW worms! That sugary Pandora’s box!! Feel me?! I’m a man, we don’t do that shit! We’re built different!

….. But we weren’t. We are built with the same emotions, same pain, same stress, same life problems as everyone else. Not opening it up and talking about things is a mental disease that men need to get passed. I’m not looking for answers or sympathy from others. I will be posting random blogs for everyone to read. Some may be as short as 3 sentences, some might be too long for even myself to go back and read. I’m just writing to clear my thoughts and mind. I’m not a writer, so you might find some misspelled words or bad grammer. Hey, that just shows that im writing from my heart at this exact moment. hopefully someone will read and just realize that they aren’t the only one going through life with no one understanding what’s going on with them.

So please, take this journey with me as I unzip and unpack this suitcase……..
