Normalise men needing emotional support. Studies suggest that men are at a higher risk of suicide. Due to high stigma, men often bottle up their emotions. #mensmentalhealth is important 🤝 #Mentalhealth

Some forms of intimacy don’t disappear after loss — they just become harder to talk about. This piece explores the quiet, complicated reality of desire, touch, loneliness, and emotional closeness after grief. The parts people often feel, but rarely say out loud.

It's being forced to prove your identity to a medical board. It's losing access to healthcare, employment, and dignity — all at once. Identity is not a government decision. And the mental health cost of being legally erased is real.

When a law decides who you are, it doesn't just erase your identity — it fractures your sense of safety, belonging, and self.

The Transgender Persons Amendment Bill 2026 has just passed in India.

And while it's being framed as protection, what it actually does is hand the state the power to decide who is "transgender enough" to deserve rights. For trans, non-binary, and gender-fluid people, this isn't abstract policy. It's chronic anxiety about legal status.

Chronic stress structurally alters the brain, strengthening the amygdala (fear center) while shrinking the hippocampus (memory/learning) and prefrontal cortex (executive function).

June is #MensMentalHealthMonth.

It’s time to stop telling men to “man up.” Being open about your mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness.

To the men reading this: You don’t need to suffer in silence. You are not alone. 💙

[Speaking Grey @speakinggrey]

Mental health isn’t just about surviving tough days.

It’s about having the tools to understand what you’re feeling—
and the capacity to choose what to do next.

That’s agency. That’s what we’re here for.

No one can ever explain how much it sucks actually having mental illnesses and chronic illnesses at the same time. Doctors already try to blame everything on anxiety and say everything is psychosomatic. When you actually have mental illness in your chart, it’s so much worse.
