I can look you dead in the eye while you're talking and still not hear a thing you said

Yeah TikTok is bad for our mental health but what about Outlook and Teams

Suicide.

I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.

You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.

Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.

I know 2 men who hung themselves.

One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.

A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.

So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?

A segway for a moment.

I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.

After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..

"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".

Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.

"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.

After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".

Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".

And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.

Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.

If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.

They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".

They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.

If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.

Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.

So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.

You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.

For those who struggle, you're not alone.

Trust me. They know what dynamic pricing is. They could easily turn it off. Robert Smith easily fought back. It’s not hard. They’re just choosing not to lol. They’re my favorite band, but they should be criticized along with every other band who does the same. Idc

These people claim that they're protecting women and girls.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

@TRobinsonNewEra Not even close mate.

Pride — far larger.
March for Gaza — way larger.
Brexit protests — dwarves your showing.
Stop the War — not even close.

Keep pushing the lie though, it lowers your credibility every time you punt it out.

Who is going to tell him that Paddington Bear is Peruvian, and he came to the UK as a stowaway on a lifeboat?

[Vittoria @vitt2tsnoc]

1.5 million people are at Pride in London on a yearly basis. Saturday’s march scraped a fraction of that. A reminder that the UK shows up for love, inclusion, diversity and tolerance. ❤️❤️❤️ #UniteTheKingdom

Immigration is halved from 2 years ago under the Tories.
Crime is down from 2 years ago under the Tories.

So one wonders why these drunk racist thugs weren't protesting ... 2 years ago ... under the Tories.

Because they believe lies from foreign billionaire owners.

Do you know what's patriotic?

Helping a neighbour

Cleaning up the community

Supporting local community projects

Protecting our natural environment

Protecting the vulnerable

Do you know what's not patriotic?

Rioting

Racism, transphobia or any other hate and division

[Keira Jones @keiraa_jones]

@MrTibblesNewEra Exactly this. Incredible how quickly flags went up in our road. They never put flags up for VE Day or Remembrance Day. When there has been trouble down our road it wasn’t the people who put flags up that came to help.
