Am I Good Enough? Loneliness, the Killer of Men Over 50

You have a job, a family, people all around you. And you've never felt more alone.

Every night, the same question: am I good enough?

Loneliness is quietly killing men in their fifties. They are now among those most at risk of suicide, and almost no one sees it coming. Because you were taught to provide, to hold it together, to never say "I'm not okay." So you stay silent, until the silence becomes the danger.

 

This episode is for you if you've been carrying it alone for too long. Or for him, if you love a man who is.

Tell me in the comments: when did someone last ask how you really are?
