Friday nights, and the weekend as a whole, can be really tough gents, especially as we head into Christmas and New Year.
How are we going to look after ourselves through it?
English
We know so many men who try & minimise their emotions, even to themselves, because they don’t want to be seen as “weak” but being aware of & managing our emotions can really help our mental health 💪🏻
English
We know that the ‘Monday dread’ can make many of us feel overwhelmed at the week ahead, especially if we’re really struggling so break it down to days & hours. Plan good things throughout even if it’s a takeaway coffee or long drive home for some decompression 💪🏻

It is our 20th anniversary today since becoming a charity. We have launched an online Directory of Services (Oak Book) for male victims of domestic abuse. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on our journey. bit.ly/3xzlgSO

An incredible tribute for an incredible man.
It's ok to talk if you're struggling. We know it's hard & you worry about being judged but please try.
We want you to stay!
@samaritans @theCALMzone & @GiveUsAShout are great places to start!

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since Gary Speed’s death. I hope this helps someone…

PSA when it comes to straight men enjoying sexual “pegging”.
His TikTok account is a great one to follow for sex questions & advice 🍆

Men are 47x at risk of suicide post-risk so it’s really important we acknowledge that as dads we can struggle, just as much as mums (in similar & different ways) & that it’s ok to ask for some support.
There are great people such as @MarkWilliamsFMH @dadbloguk @dopeblackdads 🙌🏻

My girlfriend is pregnant and I absolutely love her to bits, but I have no idea what I need to do at all and I'm freaking the fuck out.
English
Abuse is never embarrassing & yes, we can be victims to women & other men.
Please know there are great organisations such as @ManKindInit which can help.
We’re not alone🙏🏻

Our founder, knowing that weekends and nights can be extremely difficult for so many of us.
Hang on, gents.
We want you to stay! #ForOurMen

As ever, I'm sending love to anyone struggling this evening, looking at a bottle of alcohol maybe, with a head full of "dark thoughts". It can & does get better. You don't need to kill yourself as a "way out". Sitting in solidarity with you all, especially you, gentlemen 🙏🏻💪🏻

"I'm not suicidal except that I am, I think? I have lost the will to live"
I know so many of you will be able to relate to this piece. Please know it can & does get better.

We all know the relationships we have with our barbers are sacred, so we love the genuine smiles & laughter from the gents, here! 😁
English
Do you tell your male friends that you love them? If not, why not? We all deserve to be reminded. We don’t think it’s normalised enough between boys and girls men 💪🏻
English
This 👇🏻 There is always going to be someone worse of but that doesn’t mean we need to minimise & dismiss our own difficult situations and feelings.
We can have empathy for others whilst still recognising our own suffering.

Fellas, stop invalidating your feelings because somebody else has it worse 👊🏽💯💛
English
@Real_Deal77 Yes, there are a lot of choices! I think it's far easier to do a night out or enjoy 'alcohol' with the range of choice we now have 🙏🏻
English
@ForOurMen Thanks. To be fair, with all the alcohol free versions of popular drinks, I don't particularly miss it.
English
Self-harm can look a lot like self-care when we use 'socially acceptable' methods to dull our pain, such as drinking, drugs, gambling or even exercise.
So, tonight, ask yourself if when you do any of these; do you feel better or worse for it?
Are they acts of self-care or harm?
English
@Real_Deal77 Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Amazing work to step away from the booze 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
English
@ForOurMen This is so true. I chose to stop drinking just over a year ago. I was drinking alcohol every day nearly. Only small amounts but much too often. Finally saw it as doing me no good so now I just abstain completely.
English
Unfortunately, many of us who have engaged with the criminal justice system around abuse/assaults etc find it further traumatising due to lack of awareness.
"Coercive control" is a new definition of abuse that the CJS needs to recognise the severity of 💔
