September is Suicide Prevention Month and I am on a mission to share not only gratitude but on this episode to once again let the men know it is perfectly fine to seek help for depression.
Recently I had two different conversations but they dealt with the same issue of men’s mental health.
Men tend in my opinion, believe that they are OK inside. When they are not.
I wrote a blog piece talking about are you a “Tigger” or an “Eeyore” ? For me I pretend to be Tigger but really of late I am very much Eeyore.
Here is the link to that blog post:

Men it is perfectly OK to ask for help.
In case you are feeling down or deeply depressed here is the phone number for Suicide Prevention Lifeline:

Guys please seek out the help you need. Your family will appreciate this act of bravery.
