I do not have a partner but I have siblings, parents and relatives that all mean a lot to me.
I am in the very fortunate position that I do not have any of them that have mental (or physical) challenges yet and mental health is a very important aspect of any human being, regardless of gender, race, creed, nationality or skin color.
Mental health issues affect everyone that is in close contact with those persons because not only do they require additional care but it also impacts on the mental health of those that do care for them. It is a problem that is not only limited to the person having a mental challenge.
You’re welcome 😊
I’m always checking in on my husband’s mental health. He has a pretty stressful job, and sometimes he forgets to consider his own needs.
I have encouraged him to speak to a professional when he was struggling, which he did. And will not hesitate to take steps to help him in the future, should he need my support.
I have also encouraged other men in my life to pursue counselling. It’s surprising how some men dismiss it outright. There is still a negative stigma attached to therapy, unfortunately.
You sound as a happy wife
Could i kindly ask you to answer question in link above perhaps?
My friend group is composed of an even amount of guys and girls and one of the things I most love about us is we are not shy about sharing our struggles. It's the same with my relationship. Why have friends or be in a relationship if you can never open up or be real with them? We don't judge each other, we don't laugh at the pain, we help each other and show up when one of us is depressed, or struggling with anxiety or health issues, or just needs a shoulder to cry on or a laugh for the day. When you know you can actually trust people and you know you can share no matter how good or bad your life is going, it makes ALL the difference.
Outside of this, one of my male friends meets once a month with his male friends, and same concept, they share with one another stuff going on with their life, dating, divorce, death, jobs, everything in life. He said it's the best thing he's been a part of in his life.
I'd like to believe we are evolving as people to understand that sucking it up, walking it off, boys not being able to cry or told not to cry, is not healthy for anyone. It makes people hard, unfeeling, broken, or cruel. Emotions and feelings and pain are all a part of life which lets us know we are human.
I try to check in on my boyfriend's mental health as often as I can. Sometimes I might get caught up in work and being depressed about work and forget that he also has a lot on his plate and I then try to check in. I think it's very important for women to check in on their partner's mental health and even outside of their partner's mental health, their nephews, sons, cousins who are male, etc, need also tending to. We often neglect men's mental health because of societal expectations of masculinity. Men are often expected to be strong, stoic, and self-sufficient, making it difficult to acknowledge their struggles and ask for help.
Why just June? I would cater to my man's needs and mental health every month of the year...
Mental health should be an important topic for everyone.
Nothing, I don't need a dedicated time to give a shit about my partners mental health
