A population of 14,000 created that “everyone knows everyone” atmosphere where anything outside the social norm was hard to hide and typically shunned.

I was very emotional when I was a kid and was so hard on myself for being that way. I needed someone to help me understand my feelings and how they affected me. Instead, I used those emotions against myself, creating a sense of disconnect. Back then, mental health wasn’t always openly discussed when I was young, especially for boys and men, due to stigma.
