The original thing was: let's try a safe place for people to open up, where they can say someone could come on, be having a bit of a shitty day and say, 'I'm really struggling today.'
Ever felt like you needed a space to just let it all out? Tim Cox did, and he turned that need into Bottled Up Blokes, a thriving community for men to share their struggles. In this episode of 'Henry Weston's Old Mate', host Stu Butler sits down with Tim to discuss his personal battles with mental health and the coping mechanisms he's developed over the years. Tim's journey is a testament to resilience and the power of community support.
From anonymous posts to in-person meetings, Bottled Up Blokes has become a sanctuary for many men seeking solace and advice. Tim opens up about the challenges he faced while creating this supportive group and the impact it's had on his own life. The conversation also touches on the often overlooked issue of mental health in the workplace and the stigma that surrounds it, especially for men.
Tim and Stu dive into the importance of having safe spaces where men can openly discuss their feelings without judgment. But it's not all heavy talk. They also explore the role of music in mental health and how it can be a powerful tool for coping. Tim shares some personal anecdotes about how music has helped him through tough times. They even discuss the financial hurdles of running a support group and how it can affect one's personal life.
This episode is a heartfelt conversation that reminds us all of the importance of community and support. Whether you're struggling with mental health yourself or know someone who is, Tim's story offers hope and practical advice.
