💔 “Just pray it away.” “Real men don’t need counseling.” — Church culture and society have taught men to suppress their pain instead of healing it. This Short exposes the dangerous myths surrounding faith, masculinity, and mental health, from toxic church platitudes to the heartbreaking reality of karoshi — “death by overwork” — claiming over 2,000 men’s lives every year in Japan. ⚠️

Men are breaking under the weight of silence, shame, and overwork. It’s time to have real conversations about faith, vulnerability, and healing. 🙏
