I am seriously considering selling everything, settling my lease, and driving away, going nowhere for no reason. I'm overdone.

[lorrainelaeng]

This young man just made me understand what I do to my husband of 35 years. When he comes home tonight & every night thereafter to thank him and love him more. Thank you!

[dwilson]

I'm in awe that a man is asking for help. It's nice to hear a man ask for help to keep his family. He's not running to another woman, cheating or running away. A man, asking for help! Loved this!❤

As an engineer myself, this hits home in so many ways. I quit my job a month ago due to loneliness, despair, and a work environment that hurt myself. I decided to move home to be with family, and to try to repair the broken relationship with my dad, but every try I've made hasn't worked because I've been thinking as a problem solver instead of a relationship builder. I've sacrificed my home, my privacy, my community, and my church to try to fix this and find connection, and I've failed to do it the right way. I'm mentally exhausted as well, and not knowing where my future is going, it's been nearly a year where I haven't been able to breathe. I'm going to reach out to a friend to help me clarify my priorities and move out of this situation. I hope I can find some way of returning to normalcy, because this season is killing me man.

If anyone reads this, please pray for me. My name is Jaden.

As a woman..I'm very thankful to the caller for sharing. I didn't realize the weight that men may feel at times trying to succeed at doing it all. There's so much stuff about women doing it all but this topic is not often touched.

[samanthaquant]

What an incredibly GOOD man. You can tell he loves his kids and wife and just wants to serve them. He’s doing his best and feels like he’s failing everywhere. But he’s absolutely a HUMBLE and good man.

[andrewheffel]

Rick is awesome. He is carrying a heavy burden. His reaction? To be the best husband and dad possible. He deserves joy.

[BrianGivensYtube]

I’m a 26 year old engineer and what I learned from work is that the better you do, the work you get. Being stressed everyday and having a never ending amount of work caused me to burnout only 4 years into my career. You have to drop everything and heal. Take time off work and treat yourself like a god unconditionally. Buy filet mignon everyday. Get 12 hours of sleep a day. Travel to a forest and hike all day. Sit in the woods and listen to the wildlife. Close your eyes. Heal.

[curiouslyme]

This man is so strong & brave for reaching out for help & support. I respect him highly. I hope his family embraces him as he deserves!

[jwise]

Anxiety brainfog is a real thing. Anxiety can make it hard to think clearly, further exacerbating the mistakes.

[noregertsyamsayin]

Most people feel this way and don't have 5 kids. Props to this dude, he's doing his best with the cards he was dealt.

[TheLuxeTraveler]

I feel the exact same as this man. I'm physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted and have no one in my corner.

[franciscoenciso]

Most men live lives of quiet desperation. I wish him luck.

[spytechchronicles]

This is happening to vast majority of people all over the world. The impossibility of life.

[KennTollens]

I grew up in a negative critical family. They don't have to say you suck, I grew up feeling worthless. I never realized how negative I was until I moved away for a long time and was around more positive people, then revisited.

[TheRjmsca]

I know you're burdened, but you don't sound like you suck. You are there for your family, you provide, and are looking for help. You're not running away. Thank you for not running away.
God bless you

[heavychains]

Poor guy. You can tell nobody in this man's personal life asks him how he's doing or listens to what he has to say/think. Once he got the chance to open up to someone who was listening he just spilled his guts. Hope he's doing better ❤️

[kclose]

Something about this call really hit home. I hope this guy gets the help he desperately needs. My grandfather at the age of 49, who was a father of 3, committed suicide when my mom and her sisters were around high school age. I can't help but think that this possibly is similar to what he was going through. My mom said that the family never saw the signs and he never talked about his feelings or seeked help. God speed Rick! Good for you for seeking help. It starts here.

[poppyz]

A supportive partner is so important, both ways

[colinmackay]

Rick it's been 2 years but if you ever see this I just want you to know. You're awesome. You absolutely do not suck. You're a Class Act.
