Mens mental health awareness month. How are you?

[Harleigh90]

As men's mental health awareness month draws to end, its still a daily struggle for the millions of men worried to speak out. This stigma around weakness needs to be outweighed! Spread the love and show support ❤

[ChrisMaster69]

Good post.

I would say meh sums it up lol.

I have a meeting / drinks with a friend at weekend, he’s a counsellor I’ve know for years and used to work as a volunteer at same counselling centre.

bunch of various stuff, cumulating with Father’s Day lol.

that and almost breaking my wrist lol (waiting for appointment lol) has meant I’ve been stuck home and not out biking or running, tedium.

oh and driving sucks with a fucked wrist.

on a positive note, I know what’s up lol.

and I’m not buying drinks at the weekend,

[Harleigh90]

Aww what a human to be proud of volunteering his time like that! Wishing you a speedy healing wrist.

[ChrisMaster69]

@harleigh90 well we all play our own little parts in life.

For me it’s giving back to a service that I have taken from a lot lol

[Harleigh90]

Amazing 👏

[ChrisMaster69]

@harleigh90 thanks but nah, I am seriously anything but lol.

I have enough scars that say very much the opposite

[Honesttguy]

I dont think problem is about emotion expression. Rather goverment structure is fuked up. Rules and laws are against speaking up minds. Honesty is banned, freedom of speech banned, thank you very much internet is last place to express freely enough even then u get banned for it :D

[Harleigh90]

Exactly! It's important to express how you feel, lots of people think and feel the same way, building a foundation with others you can trust would be amazing

I'm not a man but I've been also taught to mask my emotions and if I show them, my mom called me "fool, immature and weak". I've been living with emotionally unavailable parents and today I was depressed and suddenly cried, then my mom called me "mental", laughed off and got back to her device on which she's glued to 24/7. I am very scared that I'll never find true love. I was grieving the fact that I'm destined to die alone.

[Harleigh90]

You're definitely not a 'fool' ok. You are so young and certainly won't die alone. Speak to someone you are close to like a friend or another family member. Its ok not to feel ok, but knowing how to manage the hard days is important.
Focus on being you would like to be, someone you aspire too. Study or work hard to keep busy and meet new people, have some fun! My inbox is always open. ❤

I'm aware that men bottle their feelings to their detriment. But I've recently had some anxiety about my physical health.

[ShadezMcgee]

I am okay. That is in part to me seeking a therapist last summer when I was overwhelmed and very stressed out with feeling unable to vent or voice how I felt to those close to me and around me because I have a lot of people relying on me to lead and make decisions and didn't want them to think me weak if I spoke about it or god forbid I broke down in front of them because they may grow to resent me and push me away. So I bottled it up and vented to the one who can help me with my struggles.

[Kaneki05]

Pretty sure it's pride month not men mental health month. But eh pointless calling these months something anyway. On things that are focused on all year or should be anyway.
And i am meh like always.

[Harleigh90]

The point to my post was to ensure the awareness is spread regardless what day or month it is..

[Kaneki05]

Fairs

[HugoThe2nd]

Criminal past, psychopath with control and attachment issues, periodic alcohol abuser, pathologically promiscuous but still a great daddy.
In other words, I'm doing pretty good these days, yeah.

[Harleigh90]

Thats amazing you've turned your life around. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance, Focusing on being a daddy is clearly your motivation.

[HugoThe2nd]

Ehh, not sure if I quite turned my life around yet, but we could definitely say that caring for someone helps.

[Harleigh90]

The fact you've acknowledged you done wrong in the past is massive step in!

[worldscolide]

If you asked me this 9 years ago I would have said suicidal.. Now I'm happily married, and have a family..

[Harleigh90]

Amazing! Congratulations

[worldscolide]

Thank you!

[es20490446e]

You found the solution.

[exitseven]

Sometimes I think I am going crazy. Other than that I am doing well.

[Harleigh90]

Can relate to that! Glad to hear you're doing well 😊

[exitseven]

thanks for that. I hope you are too.

[Harleigh90]

I am thank you.

[Still-alive]

I am a heck of a lot better than i ever used to be thanks :)

[Harleigh90]

❤❤❤❤❤

[Still-alive]

😘😊😊

[Darksign]

Im fucked. Social anxiety ruined my life starting at 10/11 and noone to talk to

[Harleigh90]

I have a friend who taggles social anxiety, shopping is the worst for her, but making a list and listening to her favourite playlist helps loads. My inbox is open if you need someone to talk too.

[FunkyMonkee]

I'll be fine if I can ever get all these iguanas out of my underwear!!

[es20490446e]

In this phase in my life I'm quite alone, but it's only a phase and actually I'm doing well at it.

[Chthou95]

I'm alright. Few moments where i feel like shit but nothing i can't get through

[flipflopBD5]

How am I? every day is a struggle, it's all right because I remember to keep fighting. At the end of the day, do not throw it on any one else!!!

[Cowboy6666]

I am single, bored, no one to talk with me, My life is empty. :/

[JesseJayNeak]

I'm doing fine. Thank you for your concern
