Over the last few weeks Iโve seen a post about a male suicide at least once, if not twice per week on my socials. Not just veterans but civvy blokes who were smiling in their pics, seemingly hiding everything that was unraveling inside.
From an early age little boys are taught that โbig boys donโt cryโ. Subliminal messages from childhood, amplified by social and gender pressures not to show weakness, to be the head of the family, to be the boss of the company. Itโs a lot. A lot for anyone who has a good support network around them. But if that starts to crumble, due to divorce, new jobs, leaving the military etc life can get extremely heavy and lonely very quickly.
You are NOT alone. So many out there feel the same, social media is showing us this with the ever increasing authentic posts from those brave enough to share their struggles. Please donโt suffer in silence.
