Yeah, so I think my primary experience with anxiety or at least kind of the fever pitch moment of it was in high school. I had all these social insecurities and academic worries. And so, I mean, what Mel said really resonated with me because it kind of just manifested into this like amorphous blob of anxiety.

anxiety and fear, I kind of compare it to like a low budget horror movie, like something stalking me around the corner. And it sounds so scary. But like, if I actually peer around the corner, and you know, just put it down as regular problems, it's really not that scary. And so that's really how it's shown up for me and in college too, as well as high school.

This is kind of star-studded a little bit, man.

And so my question is, I think my generation, honestly, even my younger brother's generation too, kind of has this instant gratification culture with social media and the like. And so I'm kind of curious, Mel and Oprah as well, what tools does the next generation need to cope with anxiety?

I mean... I feel like with college students, it comes up a lot that people go out and then they have homework to do the next day. But I kind of, I guess, had conflated the two between homework.

Yeah. I think that one thing that men in my generation, but honestly, in all generations kind of struggle with is taking care of our mental health like we do our physical health. Do y'all talk about it?

I think it's very hard for men to get into spaces where they can feel comfortable and safe talking about it, and I don't think it has to be so scary. I take anti-anxiety medication on a low dosage, and I go to therapy, and I think they're wonderful things, and I treat them like I'm taking a protein shake or going to the gym, but for my mental health instead of my physical health.

And a lot of my friends, I think, have trouble kind of opening up that mental side as if it makes them less of a man. There are all sorts of crazy talking points you can fall into there. And I think it's silly because I think we become stronger when we take care of our brains, too. And so I think that the struggle is getting men into spaces where they can feel comfortable talking about it.
