Anxiety and stress
You're not anxious. You're just busy.
Awake at 3am. Rehearsing conversations that have not happened.
Let's find out what it's trying to tell you.
What we talk about
Whatever it is, it's allowed in here.
These are some of the things men bring most often. You don't need a label for what you're going through, and you don't need to pick one. Most of us arrive with a bit of several.

Low mood
Not sad, exactly. Just flat.
Cancelling plans. Scrolling till 1am. Getting through the day on autopilot.
Functioning is not the same as living.
Relationships
Same argument. Different day.
Talking about logistics, not each other. Silence in the car. Wondering how you got here.
Understand your part in it, and what you actually want.
Anger
Zero to a hundred.
The slammed door. The road rage.
Anger is usually covering for something else.
Work and burnout
Still performing. Just not there any more.
Emails at midnight. Sunday dread. Not knowing who you are without the job title.
You are not your job.
Grief and loss
Everyone says you're doing well.
The marriage, the job, the parent, the person you used to be. Fine one day, floored by a song the next.
There's no deadline for getting over it.
Fatherhood and family
Holding it together for everyone else.
Hearing your dad's voice come out of your mouth.
Who holds it for you?
Midlife and purpose
Ticked every box. Still asking: is this it?
Restless. Stuck. Wondering what it was all for.
Halfway is a good place to change direction.
Not on the list? Bring it anyway.
