we need men to sit down together and talk about their depression

I have a friend who hosts a men's support group through his Brazilian Jujitsu Dojo. And I think the fact that this club exists is great for everyone involved. But holy shit is it depressing to visit a club full of guys who are just harping on their depression.

Like, we all need a time and a place to unload. But we do also need a time and a place to have some fun. The best thing for my depression, getting out of college, was hanging with people my age and doing social activities together. BBQs, dance halls, board game nights, house parties, concerts and clubs - all great for relaxing and socializing.

we need other men to be supportive and not downplay these conversations with sexist or homophobic slurs

Also nice when people can feel safe to joke and laugh with each other.
