It ain’t a competition - celebrating all good things and the accomplishments of others will help defeat all the toxic masculinity out there.

    I’d be careful to say what it can do for your mental health. I tried to make it work for me, but it always made me feel worse because it gave my mind time to ruminate on bad memories and feelings. I would’ve stopped doing that to myself sooner had I not heard that exercise = good feelings without caveats.

      Oh, I’m definitely not saying it’s a cure or anything for mental health. Just that it’s amazing if it does work for you.

      It definitely works for me. I go hiking regularly.

      Maybe going outside but with another human to distract you could help?
