Elder X's Story

I have been through real pain and I found my way out. Bipolar, psych wards, every medication, religious trauma, marriage falling apart — I have lived it. And now I walk alongside men who are ready to rebuild.

Where I Was

Bipolar disorder. That was the diagnosis they gave me. And with it came every medication you can imagine. My closet was a pharmacy — antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, anxiolytics. I took what they told me to take. None of it worked. Not really. Some of them made me a zombie. Some of them made it worse. Some of them did nothing at all.

Psych wards. I have been in the psych ward. Inpatient. Outpatient. Hospital visits that blur together. I have sat in rooms where they take your shoelaces and your belt and your dignity. I have watched my loved ones faint from fear — literal, physical collapse from the terror of watching someone they love spiral. I have seen what it does to the people around you when you are drowning and they cannot save you.

Rumination. The thoughts that will not stop. The constant replay of everything that went wrong, everything you wish you had done differently. You lie awake at 3 AM and your mind keeps circling back to the hardest moments. It plays them on repeat and you cannot find the off switch.

Marriage. Separation. Not getting respect. Watching the person you love lose faith in you because you cannot get yourself together. The shame of knowing your partner is afraid of you — not physically, but afraid of what you are becoming. The loneliness of being married but completely alone.

Religious Trauma

I grew up in strict religion. I followed the rules. I believed what they told me to believe. I did everything right according to the book. And then I started asking questions that the book could not answer.

Figuring out if the religion was true. Figuring out if maybe other things they told me were not true either. And when the truth became undeniable — when I could not look away anymore — I had to accept it. And that was one of the hardest things I have ever done because I did not want to leave. I did not want to walk away from everything I had built my life on. But I owed it to myself to be honest.

Figuring out Jesus. Figuring out God. On my own terms, not someone else's. The freedom that comes from finding your own spiritual path after decades of being told what to believe — it is terrifying and liberating at the same time. If this resonates with you, you are not alone. Religious trauma is real and it destroys men silently because they feel guilty for even questioning it.

The Turning Point

Every medication had failed. Every conventional approach had failed. Ketamine. Nothing. And then the peyote trip in the desert.

They told me I was meant to do this with my life. That I was an encourager and a helper. That I am a person who gives good advice. That this was my calling.

I came back from that desert different. Not fixed — I do not believe in fixed. But clear. Clear about what I was supposed to do with everything I had been through. All that pain, all those psych wards, all those medications that did not work, all those nights staring at the ceiling — they were not wasted. They were preparation.

I started filling my calendar. Every single day, something to accomplish. Not big things — some days it was 5 pushups. Some days it was making a phone call I had been avoiding. Some days it was just getting out of bed and proving to myself that I could. And slowly, day by day, the rumination changed. Instead of ruminating about how worthless I was, I started ruminating about how much I had accomplished.

That is the secret nobody tells you: you do not stop ruminating. You change what you ruminate about. Fill your life with accomplishments and your brain will replay those instead.

What I Do Now

I care deeply about these men. These are my people. These are the guys I want to build up and hang out with. The best of the best — and you ARE the best of the best, even if you cannot see it right now. You are who you hang out with, and that is true.

I give advice. Not therapy — advice. Real, honest, from-a-man-who-has-been-there advice. I will tell you the truth even when it is hard. I will tell you to do 5 pushups when you think you cannot do anything. I will tell you to fill your Google Calendar when you think you have nothing to live for. I will tell you to ask AI how to make money when you think you are too dumb to figure it out.

I will never let you down. I will never abandon you. I will never give up on you. These are my folks and I treat them like family. And when you are ready to do the work — when you are ready to actually take the steps, not just talk about it — I will be right here. That is all I ask: that you show up for yourself the way I will show up for you. When you are ready, let's go.

I will walk with you as far as you are willing to go.
