@emotions_ix 2003 - I was bullied in work at 16 for being like the character Frank Spencer from TV. I worked in a garage with 3 other manly men and they ripped it out of me everyday. Eventually, I had a break down and ended up really mentally ill for many years and it still affects me at 38.

Some dads aren’t struggling because they’re weak.

They’re struggling because they’ve been carrying everything on their own for too long.

@MindBodySoleUK Speaking up is powerful…
but a lot of people are scared no one will really listen when they do.

@SSB_Rick It’s the “working through the moments” part people don’t see.
That’s where the real work is — fair play to you.

@Dearme2_ A lot of dads live like this every day…
showing up for everyone else while quietly falling apart.

[Dads with Depression @Dwd87]

@recovery_your Some people are fighting this while still going to work,
paying bills, and being there for everyone else.

[Dads with Depression @Dwd87]

@TWLOHA The strongest people are usually the ones
no one ever checks on.

[Dads with Depression @Dwd87]

Nobody asks how the dad is doing.

They just assume he’ll handle it.

Even when he’s barely holding it together.

Some storms last longer than we expect… but they still pass.

[Dads with Depression @Dwd87]

A lot of people are carrying more than they show. Be kind — including to yourself.

[Dads with Depression @Dwd87]

Even when it doesn’t feel like it, things can change. Just hold on a little longer.

@bluewmist Honestly? I just tell myself I’ll do 5 minutes — and that usually turns into more.

[Dads with Depression @Dwd87]

@Ravenismeee Some days feel like giving up, but showing up anyway is what counts.

[Dads with Depression @Dwd87]

@anxietymsgs Comparison — it quietly turns everything you have into something that doesn’t feel like enough.

[Dads with Depression @Dwd87]

Good morning. If today feels heavy, take it slow. You’re still showing up — and that counts more than you know.

[Dads with Depression @Dwd87]

Some days take everything you’ve got — but you still show up. That says more about your strength than anything.

[Dads with Depression @Dwd87]

@lisaawrites Honestly… this is so real. Losing the version of yourself you hoped to be hurts in a way people don’t talk about enough.
