Mental Health Matters by Sophie Wambui

I have come to realize that many people give respect based on what you do, what you own, or the titles and qualifications you hold. Their respect often reflects their own beliefs or perceptions about success and status. Personally, I prefer to connect with people who see beyond titles and achievements,those who value character, authenticity, and humanity above all else. That’s the kind of respect that truly matters to me.

💔 THE INVISIBLE BURDEN MEN CARRY 💔
Let’s talk about something many men go through but rarely speak about: The pressure to provide. From a young age, boys are taught that their worth is tied to what they can offer.They grow into men who carry the silent expectation to always have money, always show strength, and never ask for help. But behind the quiet stares and tired smiles are:
🔹 Sleepless nights wondering how to pay school fees
🔹 Silent stress over rent, bills, and family needs
🔹 The weight of being “the man of the house” even when they’re emotionally or mentally drowning
🔹 Guilt when they can’t afford the life they wish they could give their loved ones
🔹 Loneliness, because no one ever asks if they're okay only if they've "handled things"

June is Men’s Mental Health Month.
I have come to realize just how often men are expected to be “strong” in ways that silence their pain. Many suffer in silence, afraid to look weak, afraid to ask for help, afraid to cry. But the truth is: strength also looks like vulnerability. It looks like saying, “I’m not okay,” and being open to healing.
To the men around me ,friends, family, colleagues and clients I see you. Your mental health matters. Your well-being matters. You deserve rest, support, and a safe space to feel.
Let’s break the stigma. Let’s talk. Let’s listen. Let’s support the men in our lives not just when they’re strong, but especially when they’re struggling.

Under any circumstances, always do your best. But keep in mind that your best is never going to be the same from one moment to the next.

The greatest childhood adversity is having a harmful mother. This can lead to experiences of abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, which may significantly impact adulthood.

In your whole life nobody has ever abused you more than you have abused yourself. And the limit of your self-abuse is exactly the limit that you will tolerate from someone else. If someone abuses you a little more than you abuse yourself, you will probably walk away from that person. But if someone abuses you a little less than you abuse yourself, you will probably stay in the relationship and tolerate it endlessly-Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
