I'd rather that than get another phone call that a friend of mine committed suicide. And I'd never see him again. You think back to how that person was doing and how it seemed like that person had everything together. Like, I mean, the last one that went, he, he seemed like he had everything on the right track. He had taken 30 steps forward and when he took one step back, it all crumbled for him. He didn't have a support system. He didn't have someone to fall back on. And he didn't feel that help was accessible.
Ever wondered why men often struggle to talk about their mental health? In this eye-opening episode of 'My Saved Perspective', host Chris Surwillo dives deep into the complex world of men's mental well-being. With a mix of personal stories and candid reflections, Chris tackles the societal pressures that keep many men from opening up about their struggles. He explores how expectations of toughness and stoicism can create barriers to seeking help, making mental health issues even harder to manage.
Chris doesn't just highlight the problems; he also offers solutions. He encourages men to embrace vulnerability and stresses the importance of seeking support. This episode isn't just for men, though. Women will find valuable insights into the mental health challenges their male loved ones may face, fostering better understanding and support within relationships. One of the standout moments is Chris's call for open communication.
He argues that breaking the silence around men's mental health can lead to stronger, more supportive communities. With a twist in the 'That's My Jam' segment, this episode brings both serious reflection and a touch of light-heartedness, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health and well-being.
So, if you're curious about why men find it hard to talk about their feelings or looking for ways to support the men in your life, this episode offers a compassionate and insightful look into an often overlooked issue.
