Here’s what actually saves lives:
• Real conversations (not “yeah good mate”)
• Checking in without awkwardness
• Normalising struggle
• Letting men be human — not bulletproof
• Professional help without shame

If you’ve got a man in your life who carries the weight quietly… remind him this:
Talking isn’t weak. Breaking down isn’t failure.
Being here tomorrow is what matters.

📌 Save + share this. Someone’s brother needs it.

Let’s be real: “work hard, play hard” was never about balance.

It’s a sales pitch for burnout — glamorised exhaustion dressed up as ambition.

Rest, boundaries, and recovery aren’t luxuries. They’re survival.

October is burnout season — deadlines, school terms wrapping, the year closing in. It’s also your chance to slow the F down.

Burnout doesn’t wait until December. It shows up as fatigue, brain fog, irritability, anxiety, sleepless nights.

This month, choose slower. Walk slower. Breathe deeper. Protect your energy before it’s gone.

Read that again.

More people are faking well than faking not being okay.

Because we’ve been taught it’s “better” to suck it up and struggle than to ask for help and admit we need it.

The truth? That silence is what’s breaking us.

If you are faking well, it time to start looking after you. Speak up and seek help. Friends, family, employers, therapists and self care are just some places to start.

We’re constantly told to be more resilient. To meditate, journal, breathe, bounce back. But here’s the truth: resilience isn’t the cure when the system itself is making people sick. We need a world that doesn’t break us down in the first place.

We don’t get joy without struggle.
We don’t get calm without chaos.
We don’t get light without the dark.

Anxiety doesn’t erase happiness — it makes it real.
Because if life was always perfect, would “happy” even mean anything?

Reminder: Feeling both can be normal.
