00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.730
Hey! A bit different video today it's

00:00:02.730 --> 00:00:05.250
Mental Health Awareness Week if you

00:00:05.250 --> 00:00:08.189
If you weren't aware before, you are now!
when I was

00:00:08.189 --> 00:00:10.920
younger I-I went personally went through

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:13.889
some tougher times and I strongly think

00:00:13.889 --> 00:00:15.859
that having someone to talk to is

00:00:15.859 --> 00:00:19.289
extremely important and to share these

00:00:19.289 --> 00:00:22.109
emotions with, whether it's a friend a

00:00:22.109 --> 00:00:24.000
parent someone you love

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.490
don't let it bottle up inside just

00:00:26.490 --> 00:00:28.180
telling someone how you really feel can

00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:30.630
sometimes be life-changing and it's

00:00:30.630 --> 00:00:32.910
extremely important and you may not have

00:00:32.910 --> 00:00:34.890
mental health issues yourself but you

00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:36.989
can always be there as a helping hand

00:00:36.989 --> 00:00:38.760
for someone else and I think this week

00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:42.000
is especially a great time to keep

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:42.600
that in mind

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.180
suicide is still the leading cause of

00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:47.520
death for males between the age of 20

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:48.210
and 50

00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:50.340
even though females are more likely to

00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:52.590
get depressed they are generally better

00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:55.920
at seeking help to others when they do

00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.379
there's a there's a bit of a stigma for

00:00:58.379 --> 00:01:00.960
guys to talk about you know feelings and

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.629
all these things it's not it's not cool

00:01:03.629 --> 00:01:05.549
enough I mean it's a stigma for

00:01:05.549 --> 00:01:07.229
everyone in general but especially males

00:01:07.229 --> 00:01:09.420
and if you feel like you don't have

00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:11.880
anyone to talk to there's this app

00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:15.479
called TalkLife where you can share

00:01:15.479 --> 00:01:17.580
whatever emotions or thoughts that you

00:01:17.580 --> 00:01:19.259
have and there will be someone there to

00:01:19.259 --> 00:01:21.390
listen to you. it's important to not let

00:01:21.390 --> 00:01:24.150
feelings get bottled up and try and cope

00:01:24.150 --> 00:01:26.009
with it your own and I but at the same

00:01:26.009 --> 00:01:27.600
time some things are just really hard to

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:29.490
talk about I you feel like you can't

00:01:29.490 --> 00:01:30.960
share it with everyone so I think

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:32.490
TalkLife is a really great solution

00:01:32.490 --> 00:01:34.950
to that if you are going through a

00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:36.990
crisis I'll link to where you can find

00:01:36.990 --> 00:01:39.000
help as well wherever you are in the

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.759
world and I think that's extremely

00:01:40.759 --> 00:01:45.149
important. I want you to know that it's

00:01:45.149 --> 00:01:48.630
okay. it's common to feel this way and

00:01:48.630 --> 00:01:51.780
everyone goes through different emotions

00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:55.350
throughout their life and there's nothing

00:01:55.350 --> 00:01:56.670
wrong with that and there's nothing to

00:01:56.670 --> 00:01:59.040
be ashamed about. Like I said I I

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.649
struggle with thoughts myself and be

00:02:01.649 --> 00:02:05.310
especially being younger and for what

00:02:05.310 --> 00:02:10.670
it's worth I think pulling through

00:02:11.239 --> 00:02:13.470
you'll be stronger for doing it.

00:02:13.470 --> 00:02:18.060
and no matter who you are life is worth

00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:20.280
living and better days will come.

00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.620
I promise. That's it for me today

00:02:24.620 --> 00:02:27.000
definitely check out the links I left in

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.440
the description it's a really great

00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:30.540
chance to be a helping hand this week as

00:02:30.540 --> 00:02:32.370
well it could really change someone's life

00:02:32.370 --> 00:02:37.670
That's it for me for now. Brofist.
