The last few days I had a just a horrible run of luck health-wise, death, money just happened back to back for some reason out of the blue.

Damn near felt like I was gonna have an anxiety attack...

I had never reacted to stress like that before

As a Black Man father husband we really can't show any weakness

Have you ever just had a a tough run and how did you deal with it.

Its interesting that many people pretty much tell people to pray...

and that's it.

Trust me....Yogi is the best. ..other brands who make herbal teas are less potent .St. Johns Wort. Chamomile and Lavender are good as well. Speaking of Lavender. Lavender Frangrance Oil. works as well when worn as a cologne. Trust.
Those teas and oils will have u some on some cool ass I dont give a phuck type shit

Someone mentioned something about "expecting sympathy" from others or thinking just because YOU are kind and empathetic and understanding?

those who benefited from it would automatically reciprocate.

fam...

I NOW realize that is FAR from the case.

You gotta be able to depend on yourself and your REAL friends and family

you WILL learn the difference during rough times.

Playahatian.. I said I would check up on you.. Are u good brotha?

My baby girl was just admitted to the hospital and needs a transfusion.

And it was the strangest thing...

I needed to talk to someone anyone and I couldn't find anyone

No one answered their phone or text and if they did?

The said they were busy or didn't even give me a chance to speak.

And in the end

I was fine with that.

I prayed.

As long and as hard as I could.

As alone as I felt in the particular moment.

I found peace within myself and in my wife and my girls.

I hold no ill will grudge or resentment

It was just a reaffirmation that I can handle this.

It's not easy, but i can handle this

And God is with me.

And whatever it is YOU can too.

And who was one of the first people to hit me?

A bgol brother.

I keep tellling ya'll we got MORE here than you realize.

Peace

And all prayers and we'll wishes to my baby girl are appreciated.

Stress can cripple you to the point that you don't get anything done which it turn makes life more stressful. IMO The best way to break that cycle is marijuana.

Use just enough that you can still function, but don't feel the stress. It makes it easier to get things done which in turn gives you less to stress about.

Sending up a prayer for your baby girl.

It's tough, as you said. We as men are supposed to show no weakness but we often don't have an outlet Or someone who we can tell some really secret down dirty shit that may be embarrassing like the E.D. issues that ended my marriage.

Feeling alone is a truth for a black male far too often.

Never feel that you can't come here. If there's anything that I can help you with hit me up on direct message and I'll listen.

Yes, those transfusions can be a hassle. My wife used to get one every few months. That was bad enough. I can only imagine how hard it would be watching a child get one, especially my own. The mental image is horrifying.

Stay strong
