You may not realise it, but it is ok to ask someone if they are feeling suicidal, it could potentially save their life. If someone does tell you, they are thinking of suicide it’s important to take them seriously. You can help by listening and being understanding. If possible, offer support and encourage them to talk about their feelings. Importantly, please encourage them to seek professional support. Many organisations (free and paid-for) can help someone in times of crisis. Check out https://www.talkwithlaura.co.uk/useful-links for some useful links. "Evidence shows asking someone if they're suicidal can protect them. They feel listened to, and hopefully less trapped. Their feelings are validated, and they know that somebody cares about them. Reaching out can save a life."

Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK... but it doesn't have to get that far. Andy's Man Club meets at Marjon and City College Plymouth every Monday from 7 pm. It's a free, non-judgemental, supportive group that creates a safe environment for men to discuss their feelings. You don't have to be a student, you just need to walk through the door.

Continuing my monthly fitness progress. It’s outdoors for the month of May, personally it has been a hard one for me on a few levels, my fitness seems to have reached a plateau, it’s hard to get to the next level of “Beach Body” ready, but then again am I setting myself up to fail. Do I need to be? Actually yes I do! This is me at 53. I’m determined however to not be the unfit dad. I will be there on the beach, proud, with my girls and husband. So it’s onwards and out and proud I go. - - - - - - #beard #beardstagram #gaystagram #beardsofinstagram #gaydad #fitover50 #mensmentalhealth #itsoktotalk #scruff #scruffybeard #homo #gaybeard #hairygay #londongay #gayuk #loveyourbeard #beardgang #hairy #scruffyhomo #proud #outandproud #loveislove #gaybearded #speedos #gayswimmer #outswimmer #swimfit #openeaterswimming #dysmorphia #malemodel

It's Mental Health Awareness Week 🩵 This year's theme is "movement" - moving for your mental health can be very beneficial. But we also recognise that there are barriers to movement, such as for those who are trans or have a disability.

#itsoktotalk In the UK , 1 man takes his life every 2 hours. So this Mental Health Awareness week is a reminder for all the men, ITS OK TO TALK.

🌱 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬... This week was 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 and the theme was 𝓂ℴ𝓋ℯ𝓂ℯ𝓃𝓉. Movement is important for our mental health, but for many of us, movement can be a struggle! Our bodies and minds are connected. This means that regular physical activity helps to improve our wellbeing. We often think that movement, however, means 10,000 steps; when actually this could be dancing in our kitchens to our favourite songs, doing chair exercises whilst we’re watching TV or leg raises whilst we’re laid in bed. So on the bad days, when we need to be alone, when we need to say no or ask for help and when we need to take time off…. Let’s normalise recognising those “small” movements we do and how dancing in our kitchens or exercising in our chairs are just as beneficial to our minds as 10,000 steps.

Premier league footballer Michail Antonio has opened up about his mental health and going to therapy, after admitting that at one stage he hated football so much he wanted to be injured. The forward admits he was struggling with the pressure to perform on the pitch as well as going through a divorce away from it. Speaking on the high performance podcast, Antonio said “I just started disliking the game. I began therapy because I was really struggling. I was going through my divorce and I honestly couldn’t get my head around it.” “I was just mentally drained because of everything that was going on outside of my football” “I was like, ‘I just want to get injured, I want some time off’. He went on to say. “I started therapy because I was really struggling. And how I grew up, it was never a thing. I thought therapy was for crazy people. But therapy changed my life. At first it was awkward, I’m not going to lie. You’re sat in the room, someone was there and goes, ‘How are you?’ ‘And your natural response is “Fine”. So, he’s like, ‘So why are you here?’ I was like, “To be honest, like, football, I’m struggling with football, I split up with my missus”.’ “And then I’m a person where I’d never cry. And as I was talking to him, I just burst into tears. It was uncontrollable. That gave me some type of relief. And then like my chest felt like clear.” He is currently attending weekly sessions and has said he will continue for 2 years.

Moving our bodies is important for our mental health 🚶♀️. Yet research by the @mentalhealthfoundation shows that more than a third of UK adults find it challenging to find the time for movement. Reasons for this include… ⌛ Insufficient Time: Long working hours, family commitments, or other personal responsibilities can leave little room for physical activity. 💸 Cost and Accessibility: The cost of gym memberships, sports equipment, or fitness classes can be very costly. Furthermore, accessibility issues, such as the distance to fitness facilities can pose challenges. 😥 Lack of Motivation: Some people may lack the self-motivation to exercise regularly, or they may not enjoy the forms of exercise that are available to them. If you’d like to get moving more, give this article by the Mental Health Foundation a read to get started: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/our-work/public-engagement/mental-health-awareness-week/boost-your-mental-health-moving-more #HABLaw #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MomentsForMovement #ReachOut #ItsOkToTalk #MentalHealth #MentalHealthSupport #MentalHealthAwareness
Der leichte Weg ist zwar schön, aber bringt er dich immer zum Ziel? Oder ist er manchmal auch gespickt von Vermeidung? Natürlich hätte ich gestern entspannt mit dem Zug nach Bad Gandersheim fahren können. Keine Planung fürs Umziehen, nicht durchgeschwitzt oder total kaputt. ⠀ ⠀ Genommen habe ich ganz bewusst den schwierigen Weg. Erst die Verbindlichkeit geschaffen, mich für ein Teilstück verabredet, dann öffentlich darüber geschrieben und am Ende möchte ich nicht einknicken. Dann die Planung, was ich alles minimalistisch mitnehme. Oder: Was brauche ich wirklich für einen Vortrag und auf was kann ich verzichten? Struktur schaffen, in dem ich das Wetter, mein Tempo und die Strecke plane. Und dann: Fahren! 50 km den Wind voll in die Fresse bekommen und nicht aufzugeben. Das tut weh, das ist anstrengend für den Kopf und den Körper, das auszuhalten und nicht auszuweichen. Ankommen, frisch machen, umziehen und aushalten, dass ich unkonventionell in kurzen Sportsachen und (nicht stinkenden) Sportsocken den Vortrag mache. ⠀ ⠀ Hinterher dann wieder umziehen und mit beginnender Dämmerung bis in die Dunkelheit alleine wieder auf dem Rennrad nach Hause zu fahren. Über unbeleuchtete Wege und Landstraßen. Konzentriert und fokussiert bleiben, denn jeder Fehler könnte zum Sturz führen. ⠀ ⠀ Ist es nicht auch das, was wir im Leben oft vorfinden? Wir müssen immer wieder entscheiden, welchen Weg wir wählen. Oft ist die Vermeidung nicht zielführend und schiebt Aufgaben und Probleme nur weiter. Ist es nicht auch das, was wir für eine Therapie brauchen? Durchhaltevermögen und den Schritt, mal in den Schmerz zu gehen? Oder mich bei Problemen mal mit mir selbst auseinanderzusetzen? Ich denke ja. ⠀ ⠀ Das war gestern nötig und wichtig, um mich auch wieder zu richten. Selbst wenn ich viel fahre, ist sowas nochmal eine ganz andere Sache für mich. Wichtig ist auch zu sehen, dass einen Freunde - auch nur ein Stück - auf diesem Weg begleiten. Auch ohne Fragen zu stellen. Sie sind dann einfach da.

Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe. Some people find it hard to control their worries or feelings of anxiety which are more constant and this can often affect their daily lives. There are lots of great sites to read more about anxiety and how you can gain help or get tips on how to deal with it. #timetotalk #anxietytips #anxietyhelp #itsoktotalk #itsoknottobeok #talktherapy #yourenotalone #MentalHealthMatters #mentalhealthweek2024
I've come a long way in the past couple of years. This was from 3 years ago. Two years ago, I was suffering crippling anxiety to the point that I couldn't leave my apartment and missed over 40 days of work. I still have small bouts of anxiety and depression, but my meds combined with my physical training and other outlets are working. If you're suffering, remember that there is help out there and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. #mentalillnessawareness #mentalillness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depressionawareness #depression #depressionlife #depressionisreal #anxietyawareness #anxiety #endthestigma #endthestigmaofmentalillness #suicideprevention #suicidepreventionawareness #itsokaytotalk #mentalhealthmatters #malementalhealthawareness #malementalillness #anxietysucks #itsokaytonotbeokay #itsoktotalk #youarenotalone #itsokaytoaskforhelp #anxietylife #mentalhealthwarrior #speakup #adhd #adhdlife #mentalhealthmonth #mayismentalhealthawarenessmonth

NEGLECTED....... I must get back on with the regular trimming of the Andy's Man Club scape. I have kept up with the weekly 50 water changes, but I've been slack and have not trimmed the scape for two weeks The fundamental part of aquascaping is the regular maintenance of all aspects The neglect has cause a little algea and plants encroaching where they shouldn't be This weekend, it's time to rebalance the look and feel of the scape #aquascape #aquarium #aquascaping #aquariumhobby #plantedtank #plantedaquarium #freshwateraquarium #aquascape #aquariums #natureaquarium #aquariumfish #fish #aquaticplants #aquariumsofInstagram #tropicalfish #nature #freshwatertank #plants #rainbowfish #cardinaltetra #amanoshrimp #itsoktotalk #mentalhealth #fluvaluk #dennerleuk #fluvalsiena #fluvalbiostratum #fluvalbugbites @@andysmanclubuk

So a pretty tough subject to tackle, so much stigma & unknowns associated with men’s mental health. How does a bloke talk about what’s bothering him? Who can you possibly feel comfortable talking to? Where can you go to get help & support without being judged? Last week at a work event we had a guest speaker talking about Andy’s Man Club, something I’d never heard of before & certainly was eye opening! So if you’re reading this, if you’re thinking I need help but don’t know what to do, if you’re reading this & not heard of Andy’s Man Club before, please take a look at the Andy’s Man Club website. Look at what they offer & talk about it with someone else, raising the awareness may just help someone you know! #ItsOKToTalk #AndysManClub #ThatOneMan #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness
Continuing the movement and mental health theme for #mentalhealthweek. In April 2021, former footballer and reality TV star @mrashleycain lost his 8 month old daughter, Azaylia, to Leukaemia. Ashley has always spoken openly about his pain and grief, and hopes to encourage other men do the same. He has taken on numerous physical challenges in the name of his baby daughter to raise money for the charity set up in her memory, the @theazayliafoundation. Using his pain as fuel he ran marathons, ultramarathons, cycled the length of Britain, kayaked for 1000 miles and climbed one of the world’s highest mountains. He is currently enduring his own ‘Ultraman’ challenge, running, cycling and kayaking the length of Great Britain. These physical challenges have helped him through his darkest days. You don’t have to be as extreme, start out small. As well as the numerous physical benefits of daily movement and the mood enhancing endorphins released, the time can also be used to process your own thoughts, struggles and pain. #mentalhealthawareness #movement #movementandmentalhealth #useyourpainasfuel #itsoktotalk #itsoknottobeok #theunseentearsofaman
