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?

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

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 💪🏻

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

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 💪🏻

[ManKind Initiative @ManKindInit]

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. https://t.co/aC6lNb6jNe

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 🍆

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

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 🙌🏻

[Fesshole🧻 @fesshole]

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.

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

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🙏🏻

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

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.

Please stay.

(Let’s presume & hope there’s consent for this)

We all know the relationships we have with our barbers are sacred, so we love the genuine smiles & laughter from the gents, here! 😁

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

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 💪🏻

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

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.

[💡𝗘 𝗡 𝗟 𝗜 𝗚 𝗛 𝗧 𝗘 𝗡💡The Shadows @ENLIGHTENTheSh1]

Fellas, stop invalidating your feelings because somebody else has it worse 👊🏽💯💛

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

@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 🙏🏻

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

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?

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

@Real_Deal77 Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Amazing work to step away from the booze 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[For Our Men CIC @ForOurMen]

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 💔
