COT: Q talked about how (1) the easiest way to marginalize something is to give it its own month. Because after that month, you move on and celebrate another month. Every month should be mental health month if it’s important enough to us. We spent a little time on the obfuscation of language and what that means to us as men – how when we hide behind words and syllables, it makes it easy to hide what’s going on with us and lose track of what we really are trying to say or share. Don’t fail victim to the obfuscation of what’s going on inside you

COT: QIC shared his mental health journey and daily challenges living with adult ADHD. The attached is a pretty good representation of how most tasks, even the simplest ones, are completed. It’s rarely a straight line but i’ve learned to manage and set expectations appropriately. As always, I appreciate the structure and support this group of fine men bring to the gloom each morning. And that’s what keeps me headed in the right direction.
