My Battle With Mental Health issues As A Man

End on a positive

CW explicit language, talking about how women are abusers too, but how society and law seem to still believe and act like they are not, or can't be and how this needs to change if we've any chance of helping men, and reducing the figure of 3 in 4 suicides being men

These 2 episodes cover the normal to me world, as a child, of alcohol, drugs and violence and what effect it had on me as an adult, and the mental abuse of being told you'll never amount to anything, and things like "get a proper job" from those you don't expect to say such things

My experiences with mental health teams, and where they failed me, and the one that succeeded, what I feel could be done, what should be done, CW Suicide and self harm

Dealing with lockdown 1 and now 2, the negative impact on mental health, and also the negative impact and effects on mental health that social media has

Inspirations and reasons to embrace and keep going, through negatives came many more positives

Possibly where it all began, a brief chat about my earliest memory of suffering mentally, and how it started to affect adult relationships, and trust

Talking about how things like "man up" and "get over it" negatively impact men needing to talk about their mental health issues
