Mens health:
So today we will talk about something a little deeper,
Mens mental health, I talked a little of this in my About
me… section of my blog, it’s a subject quite close to my heart, I
have struggled with my mental health for longer then I care to say, well actually
longer then I can remember, I have struggled with very severe anxiety and
severe depression since I was around 14, I was bullied throughout childhood and
most of adulthood, its something not a lot of men have ever felt comfortable
talking about its not manly, well I am here to tell you nothing
makes a man more of a man then being comfortable talking about how they feel
and I believe a lot of men just want other men to be able to vent to about, man
worries, the struggle of man, this is not to say only men deal with these
things, its just, I hate statistics and so does my dyslexia but……in the uk suicide
is the biggest issue facing us men in 2019 there were 5,691 registered deaths
by suicide in England, that is an average of 18 suicides a day in the uk alone,
and suicide is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45………that is
frightening, now anyone taking their life is terrible and my thoughts go out to
anyone affected but this topic, in America suicide is the 11th
leading cause of death every day, there is one suicide death in the us every
10.9 minutes……it really is horrifying, a little more just to hit the ball out
of the court, in 2021 the rate of suicide among males was 16 per 100,000
population and 5.4 per 100,000. All of these statistics are absolutely
heartbreaking, but I am here to hopefully make an impact and change these
statistics for the better, I don’t want anyone taking their own life, and
neither should you.
BUT! There is a cure to all of this and honestly its what
helped me a lot, talking…..now granted some issues may require a little more
then just standing against a wall or talking to your pillow, but none the less,
talk to someone, anyone who will listen, if you ever are struggling just talk
to someone, get the help you deserve many men do and have reached out, its not
weak to ask for some help, its manly to admit “hey I cannot do it all I may
need a little help with this one”, there
is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I am here to hopefully change things for the better for us guys so, grab a drink kick your feet up and have a read through a few of my posts.
