💬 Let’s talk about something that really matters.
Did you know that men in their 40s are one of the groups most at risk of su***de in the UK? It’s something we don’t talk about enough - but we should.
For so many men, the pressure to “just get on with it” can make it hard to open up when things feel heavy. Add in money worries, relationship changes, or loneliness, and it can all start to feel like too much.
The truth is, we all need connection and support - no matter how strong we seem. 💜
If you’re reading this and it hits home, or if someone you know has been quieter than usual, here are three small but powerful things that really help:
1️⃣ Talk, even if it feels awkward. A simple chat can change everything.
2️⃣ Stay connected. Check in with your mates, your dad, your colleague — those little “how are you really?” moments matter.
3️⃣ Take small steps. Go for a walk, get some fresh air, do one thing that makes you feel okay today.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. And you’re never alone in how you feel.
