November is meant to be Men’s Mental Health Month.
Truth is, we shouldn’t need a month.
But here’s what I do know:
Most men aren’t sitting in a circle with candles lit, sharing feelings to soft music.
Men take the p**s out of each other.
Chat a bit of nonsense.
Wind each other up.
Then out of nowhere…
“Anyway lad, how ye getting on?”
And believe it or not,
that’s men supporting each other.
In their own way.
In a way that feels safe.
In a way that feels normal.
It doesn’t need to be deep.
It doesn’t need to be emotional.
It just needs to be real.
So if you’re a man struggling this month (or any month),
drop someone a message.
Chat s**t.
Have a laugh.
Crack the door open a bit.
That’s enough to start.
