I find that talking about stuff helps a lot... You start catastrophizing, you think the worst and then, when you get there, it happens, because you've made it happen a lot of the times, and then it's a self-filling prophecy.
Why do so many men keep their struggles hidden? In this episode of 'Catch Me When I Fall', Ben Fairless dives into the often-overlooked topic of men's mental health. Joined by Andy Toynton, a BRIC coordinator, and James Roberts, a dedicated volunteer for Inspire Services, they unravel the complex layers of why men find it hard to open up about their mental well-being.
Andy talks about his experiences during lockdown and how community support played a crucial role in his journey. James shares candidly about his battles with anxiety and depression, offering a raw glimpse into the challenges faced by many men. They also discuss practical coping mechanisms and the importance of taking that daunting first step towards recovery. This episode is not just for those struggling but also for anyone wanting to better understand and support the men in their lives.
With heartfelt stories and actionable advice, it's a conversation that aims to break down the stigma and encourage open dialogue.
