In honor of Men's Mental Health Month, I talk about my own personal experiences and struggles with a toxic work environment. Not all PTSD or mental health struggles are related to what we see in the field. The stress can come from inside the workplace. I came across an article written by two women who are married to firefighters, and they write about the impact that Organizational Betrayal had on their husbands and their family life. Tracy McCart and Kathy Edwards of the Fire Wife Life LLC article really touched me and inspired me to tell my story. I spent many years struggling to find a way to overcome my depression and guilt of on-the-job abuse. Abuse is not just physical, it is mental as well and it can truly take its toll on you. Thank you for listening to my story and I hope if you're feeling that there isn't a way out, that this inspires you to get help. No one needs to fight this battle alone. You are everything to someone.
