Im worried about men’s mental health. Men, who do you confide in 100%?

No one. Media says people are brave to speak about mental health and show emotion, but then make memes and crap on them if it’s someone they dislike.
that’s kinda whatever. what you don’t want is to confide in a real human just for them to use it against you somewhere down the line
Therapists, therapists are the ones best situated to receive your most private concerns.
If you get lucky and find a good one
Yeah, mine just scoffed at me when I mentioned I thought I had OCD. She never entertained the idea again...
Hey stranger, I happened to look at your account. Sorry to see you are working through so many complex challenges. I saw the mention of anxiety and depression, but I wonder if you have ever had the chance to explore with a doctor the possibility of a personality disorder? This can be a layer on top of other illnesses that keeps us from connecting effectively to others, particularly helpers. Looking into this might be a pathway into a better connection with a therapist down the line. Of course, it's also possible you've just been unlucky, in which case I would encourage you to keep searching. Best of luck to you.
I seem to have CPTSD, and it's hard to get proper help for it since it's still quite unknown for therapists and people in mental healthcare in general.
I was lucky a few years ago and it did wonders for me. Others experience may vary.
