If you have been watching or listening to the news today, there has been a lot of stuff on the Heads Together campaign on depression and getting people to talk.
Heads together
An element of the “The Man Shed” is taken up by this http://www.themanshed.org.uk/home/mental-health/ and partly our purpose and function is to offer help and support in this area.
So…. I would like to offer our support to any guys from the our area (see below for other agencies) who are having a difficult time right now, we are not professional counsellors or Drs, but we are willing to listen and offer support in any way we can. Even if it is to just for someone to shout and scream at, and say how crap life is right now. You can get in touch via the website www.themanshed.org.uk/home/contact-us/, or email us at talk@themanshed.org.uk.
You probably know the statistics by now, but nearly 80% of suicides in the UK are men and it is the most common cause of death in men aged between 15 and 45.
Men are rubbish at talking & doing something about issues in their lives, but guys, It makes you more of a ‘man’ to realise you are struggling and to seek help. Just take a look at some of the video being realised today from the likes of Freddie Flintoff and Pro Green. https://youtu.be/JjdIgUVj3Pw
If this is you I am talking about, and you are not happy to talk to me, please seek help elsewhere, like Samaritans on 116 123, or CALM on 0800 58 58 58, or see your GP.
Feel free to share.
Thanks
