Men can't talk
Although is a all year round issue, this week we remind our selves and the world of the issue that is mental health, I understand that it is not related only to men but this is where my personal experience lie.
Being part of a family where multiple members have taken there own life and of that includes my own father.
I feel very close to the problem, seeing my hero battling with depression and then tragically ending the most precious gift of all "life" so abruptly can only make you very aware of the immense heartache that mental health problems can bring to you.
I wish, I did have the same maturity and understanding that I have today back 20 years ago. as a 45 year old man, a Father myself, Husband and a Professional working man I could let that tragic event define my life and I guess it did in a way.
I learn to speak, to share, to say what I think.
I am not a professional writer, I often make grammatical mistakes I am sure I made few on this article too, but I hope you can grab my message from this few lines.
My past experiences do not make me an expert but I am good listener and available to listen.
Please man talk.
