3 Reasons Why Men Need To Talk About Mental Health
Day 9 L et’s turn our attention right now to men and their mental health. Come on, guys, you and I know that we deal with it...but are we talking about it? A lot of you may not be doing so. Stop it. Yes, stop not talking about it. Stop shutting up. Stop trying to go along with the credo of “suck it up” and all that crap. All you really are doing is hurting yourself while possibly hurting others. And if you are one of those 1,000 percent testosterone-drinking men, then you really do need to start talking about your mental health. Why am I so damned determined to get men to talk? Because we don’t want to bother anyone. We’re like our heroes John Wayne and whatever other male you’d like to put in here. Some would put a politician, some would put an entrepreneur, some would put a sports hero. Makes no difference. They have issues with their mind, too. “But what about blah-blah?” a man asks. “He isn’t like me. I’m different than blah-blah. I ain’t scared of nothing.” Sure Bubba, nice try.
