Men are dying in silence. Across the world, suicide is one of the leading killers of men and boys — not because they don’t feel pain, but because they’re taught to hide it. This post explores why men underreport depression, how stigma fuels quiet suffering, and what we can do to change it.
Work and mental health are inseparable. As a scientist living with depression, I’ve learned that discipline—not motivation—keeps me steady. Structure transforms chaos into calm, reminding me that routine isn’t restrictive but restorative. Our jobs shape our minds; the key is learning to work with, not against, ourselves.
What began as the darkest chapter of my career turned into unexpected growth. Losing a job I once loved forced me to redefine success, rediscover balance, and rebuild confidence. "Despair and Development" traces that transformation — from rejection and uncertainty to renewal, resilience, and the surprising freedom of starting again.
“Devotion and Despair” traces a year of extremes — the joy of marriage and the heartbreak of professional collapse. It’s a story of resilience under pressure, of love holding steady when identity fractures, and of learning that sometimes devotion demands letting go of the things we thought defined us.
“How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold.” ― JRR Tolkien
For over a year, I avoided sitting alone with my thoughts — drowning reflection in noise, work, and music. "Avoidance of Self Discovery" explores why silence can feel unbearable, how constant stimulation masks deeper truths, and what happens when we finally dare to listen to the chaos within.
After years of failed treatments and self-blame, I finally learned the truth — I wasn’t just depressed; I was living with Bipolar disorder. "Misdiagnosis and Moving Forward" explores that revelation, the relief of understanding, and how the right diagnosis transformed despair into direction, control, and genuine hope for healing.
Work can inspire or exhaust us — sometimes both in a single day. Mental Health in the Work Environment explores how workplace stress erodes focus, fuels anxiety, and silences vulnerability. It argues for open dialogue, supportive employers, and personal strategies that protect well-being — because no career should cost your peace of mind.
Behind every statistic lies a story — one of pain, silence, and preventable loss. "Bullying, Depression and Suicide" explores how cruelty and humiliation can spiral into despair, why both victims and perpetrators suffer, and what research reveals about this growing crisis. Understanding the cycle is our first step toward breaking it.
Bullying doesn’t always end when the school bell rings. Its echoes shape confidence, relationships, and self-worth long into adulthood. "Bullying: A Victim’s Perspective and Experience" retraces my journey from ridicule and self-doubt to reflection and resilience — revealing how cruelty corrodes development, and how empathy, awareness, and kindness can begin to heal it.
This is mental health.
