Ep 75: What Hurting Men Wish You Knew

“Most men don’t want to stop living — they just want to stop hurting. And that silent pain? It’s taking lives every single day.”When was the last time you heard a man say, “I’m not okay”? In this episode I open a conversation most men avoid — the silent pain behind strength. From the armor boys are taught to wear, to the depression that doesn’t end life but ends living, this is a call for honesty, connection, and healing.I share real stories: a neighbor lost to heartbreak, a soldier battling invisible wars, a father crushed under pressure, and a pastor hiding behind shame. He also unpacks the rising suicide rates among men — especially within the Black community — and the unspoken depression that steals purpose long before it steals life.You’ll hear how men can support each other without threatening pride, why therapy is not weakness, and five practical ways to know you’re not alone.This isn’t about softening men. It’s about saving men — and learning to live differently, to live honestly.Resources Mentioned988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 (24/7 confidential help)Veterans Crisis Line: Dial 988 then press 1 or text 838255HeadsUpGuys.org – mental-health resources for menNAMI ( National Alliance on Mental Illness ) – nami.org/helpManTherapy.org – humor-driven support for menFind a Therapist: psychologytoday.comWatch NextEp 74: Why Most People Quit Before the BreakthroughEp 51: The Mental Toughness AdvantageListen to the Podcast🎧 The Shattered Mindset Podcast → https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083Connect with MelvinYouTube: @TheShatteredMindsetInstagram: @MelvinLarry1Facebook: Melvin.LarryTikTok: @MelvinLarry118LinkedIn: Melvin LarryX (Twitter): @MelvinLarrySupport the ShowLIKE SUBSCRIBE SHARE LEAVE A COMMENT Your engagement helps bring light to silent battles and hope to hurting hearts.#MensMentalHealth #TheShatteredMindset #StopTheSilence #FaithAndHealing #SuicidePrevention #PodcastForMen #MentalHealthAwareness #MelvinLarrySupport the showWATCH VIDEO EPISODES on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheShatteredMindsetSUPPORT THIS PODCAST AT:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2397083/support
