It is easy to sit in illness and believe that everything is okay, it is easy to sit with psychological issues and believe that you are okay, one thing as humans that we display is that sometimes we possess too much pride to ask for help when we need it.
Over time and with age the individual may realise that asking for help is not a weakness, asking for help does not make you less of an individual if this was the case why does help exist, why do assistants exist they would merely cease to exist if requiring assistance at times of need was somehow degrading, even the strongest man needs a helping hand from time to time to deal with life, to deal with expectations and to deal with shortcomings but as stated before pride becomes an obstacle rather than a trait of greatness in the end without assistance whatever the issue may be ends up eating away at you breaking you down day by day month by month year by year.
Depressed, exhausted person will sit there with a smile on display like everything is okay whilst internally we are dying a slow death. In some parts of society for a man to cry is to show sign of weakness but it is MY personal belief that you are at your strongest when you are at your most vulnerable regardless of gender, sex or orientation emotions should be displayed as and when your body is telling you to display this, do not hold fear for who is around watching, do not fear ridicule, let your emotions out, let the world know how you feel and if the world isn't watching allow yourself to let yourself know how you feel because at the end of the traumatic experience it is only you that will suffer and be affected. Learn to collect your thoughts and express them to your peers, to somebody you can confide in, to your family if they are willing to listen for this is as much a part of the healing process as anything else that you incorporate into your own bespoke way of dealing with troubled times, do not allow anything to fester inside you as this will potentially damage you slowly as time progresses.
