Much like many others, my mental health is fragile these days. Opening social media or watching the news is exhausting. We are watching our fellow Americans be gunned down by cops with no justice. While we face an uphill battle to win an election against an actual lunatic. 1/
All of this is exhausting. And I know that's privileged to state. I'm an upper-middle-class-straight-white-male. I'm literally in the most privileged category there is, and I understand that. That is the reason that I'm trying to stand up, do what's right, and defend others. 2/
That being said, it's wearing me down mentally. Men's mental health has been a crisis in this country and globally for a long time, but with everything going on, it's harder than ever to stay afloat. Add to that how isolating COVID has forced us to become. 3/
This is the reason that I raise money for and support @gentlemansride every year. If you can, please donate to the cause to help fight for mental health. 4/ https://gfolk.me/natebowling
I also understand that asking for donations to this cause may not be where people want to spend their funds at this time and that's ok. Support DGR if you can and want to, but feel free to donate to other causes, such as BLM, if that is your preference at this time. 5/
Regardless of what you do, I wish you the best and hope you stay healthy. Be sure to take time for yourself because times are tough mentally. I know I need to be better about taking breaks and avoiding the doom scrolls, but I also want to stay informed. It's a tough balance. 6/
I'll wrap this thread up to simply state that I will always do my best to fight for those who do not have the same privilege that I was born with. If you ever need help or want to talk, I'm here. Much love and have a nice day! <3 7/7
