Today is the last day of Mental Health Awareness Month. I’ve got to say that this group has been the best thing for my mental health that I’ve ever tried.
Life can be hard. Life can be ugly. Life can be outright cruel. I’ve got a lot of demons, and we all have our own. But there is no medicine or therapy out there that can compare to the homies.
Being on the bench for so much of 2023 has not been easy on me mentally. As much as I love swimming, it is a lonely sport. If I didn’t still find a way to stay active and show up for coffee in the mornings after, I don’t think I would have made it. Last time I was down for an extended period put me in the worst slump of my life. F3 Concord is what finally pulled me out of it. Took a couple of years but I finally got back more towards my old self, thanks to you guys. Just want to say thank you to everyone here that’s been a part of that, and hopefully I can do the same for somebody else. Stay sharp and have each others backs, none of us are ever more than one bad day away on our own.
