I’ve thought about this before

I swear I’m going to write a book about what I’m going through. I was going to write a book when I first went through bad anxiety at 16 but this shit now is crazy and scary if I make It through it I’ll be surprised. Need more books about men going through mental illness.

You can make it through it. I agree that society needs more books about mental illness: first-hand accounts. When I was in high school, (1980ish) we had to read a book called, ''A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich''. It was about a day in a concentration camp. The author had won awards. I could see that... A day in the Life of... I also read a short story once, in Chatelaine I think... a day in the life of a woman with a husband with Alzheimers. I can see it. I think you have 2 stories... what is going on in your head and body... and life with a cancer patient. Why not write one? Even if it isn't published, it could be therapeutic or help your doctors understand what is going on. I did that once... when I was in the grips of hell, I wrote it down and gave it to my psychologist... she said that it made it clearer for her and that she hadn't realized.

This is a great point. You would not only be reaching the male population but also your age group. Something to think about, You can even begin with submitting short articles somewhere.

It would be really empowering to write your book.
