Are You Killing Yourself to Keep Everyone Else Alive?

We challenge the dangerous myth that men must sacrifice their mental health to care for their families. Sharing my own experience with suicidal thoughts from trying to be everyone's hero while neglecting myself, we explore how this common pattern leads men to silent suffering and self-destruction.

• Men often operate under a false hero complex, believing self-neglect equals strength
• Over 75% of US suicides are men, with approximately 100 men taking their lives daily
• Mental burnout and emotional emptiness make you less effective as a husband and father
• Children need your emotional presence more than just financial provision
• Self-care is not weakness but strategic preparation for leadership
• Setting boundaries creates order and helps crush chaos in your life
• True leadership is earned through actions that make you worth following
• Balance between sacrifice and self-care is essential for sustainable family leadership

If your wife and kids got 100% of who you are right now, would it be enough? Check in with yourself. Schedule therapy, journal, exercise, or take just 30 minutes daily to recharge. The world doesn't get easier, but you will get stronger.
