‘I AM STANDING UP FOR MEN SPEAKING OUT’ . . . Every week, 84 men in the UK take their own lives. The majority will have suffered in silence or tried to self-medicate...and failed. Many men are too embarrassed to admit to themselves or others when they are mentally struggling to cope, believing it somehow makes them appear weak and less of a man. . . As men our ‘strong and silent’ response is costing too many lives preventing many of us from seeking help when we need it most. . . It’s time for us to be Strong NOT Silent and share our struggles. . I guess at some point in our lives we all experience the power of mental health problems, whether that be as an individual or having friends, family or work colleagues go through it. This subject hits home a lot, I myself have had my struggles and I’ve been/still am closely involved with loved ones that are battling it everyday. • ALWAYS remember that it is ok to not be ok and that there are loved ones around us all that would be by our sides at any time of any day needed. • BE STRONG AND SPEAK UP❤️ • Great campaign @mymanorlondon 🙌🏽 • (To get involved in the campaign please visit the link in bio https://bit.ly/2Ops9BT) • #strongnotsilent #sharethestruggle #nohealthwithoutmentalhealth #mymanorlondon #mentalhealth #health #depression #anxiety #life #strong #instagram #friday #speakout #weareone https://www.instagram.com/p/BokDI1Vl-l8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=foq5vskcr2y7
