I just read a really important post called “you just stood me up “ on Instagram where a man explains how he started dating a girl while dealing with various mental health issues and ended up standing her up to go to the hospital to get treatment.
He never hit her up or text her to apologize due to embarrassment. Leaving her thinking he’s just another f boy standing her up .
While I appreciate his vulnerability and bringing awareness to a very serious and real topic, he’s still an f boy. Period. Don’t get it twisted.

Often times when men are going through things, men get to play this 100% victim role while women look like the villains that judged the situation too harshly and just don’t understand what men have to deal with.
Why do men continue to date when they have so many traumas and deal with various mental health issues which leads to them screwing someone else over, severely hurting someone else’s feelings and contributing to another persons mental health issues and questions of self worth?
Things don’t have to get to the point of where you are standing women up like they’re not human beings with feelings. Just don’t date.
I get that there were/are stigmas around mental health, but personal embarrassment is not an excuse to screw someone else over.

Men need to normalize taking some time for themselves and NOT bringing anyone else into their life until they are strong and ready to handle being in a relationship, while managing their mental health at the same time, and communicating when mental health breaks are needed.
Don’t forget that women are dealing with our own issues too, and have been for years. Screwing someone else over, treating people like crap and contributing to their trauma does not have to be a symptom of mental health.
The original post for reference. As I said kudos for sharing your story and all men people should try to get treatment as needed/ if affordable etc. , but y’all can’t be out here using mental health as an excuse to screw people over.
