You're not alone. Strong men ask for help.
If you're carrying something heavy right now, you don't have to carry it by yourself. Talking to someone helps, even when it feels like it won't.

Not ready to call?
Reach out to one person you trust: your wife, a brother, a pastor, a friend. Something as simple as "Can we talk?" is enough to start.
Worried about a friend?
Ask him how he's really doing, then ask again. Listen without trying to fix it. If he's struggling, help him call or text 988, and stay with him while he does.
"The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."
Psalm 34:18 (KJV)
