Hey
A bit different video today.
It's Mental Health awareness week!
If you weren't aware before - you are now
When I was younger I - I personally went through some tougher times
and I strongly think that having someone to talk to
is extremely important
and to share these emotions with
whether it's a friend, a parent, someone you love
don't let it bottle up inside
Just telling someone how you really feel can sometimes be life changing
and it's extremely important
And you may not have mental health issues yourself
but you can always be there as a helping hand for someone else
and I think this week is especially a great time to keep that in mind
Suicide is still the leading cause of death for males between the age of 20 and 50
even though females are more likely to get depressed
They are generally better at seeking help to others when they do
There is a bit of a stigma for guys to talk about you know feelings and all these things
it's not cool enough
I mean it's a stigma for everyone in general but especially males
and if you feel like you don't have anyone to talk to
there is this app called Talk Life
Where you can share what ever emotions or thoughts that you have
and there will be someone there to listen to you
It's important to not let feelings get bottled up and try and cope with it on your own
But at the same time some things are just really hard to talk about. You feel like you can't share it with everyone.
So I think Talk Life is a really great solution to that
If you are going through a crisis I will link to where you can find help as well wherever you are in the world
and I think that's extremely important
I want you to know that it's ok
It's common to feel this way
and everyone goes through different emotions throughout their life
and there's nothing wrong with that and there's nothing to be ashamed about
Like I said I've struggled with thoughts myself
especially with being younger and for what its worth I think
pulling through you'll be stronger for doing it
and no matter who you are life is worth living
and better days will come
I promise
That's it from me today
definitely check out the links I left in the description
It's a really great chance to be a helping hand this week as well - It could really change someones life.
That's it from me for now - Bro fist
