Mens Mental Health Awareness Month - Tumblr Posts
; happy June !! Another thing that is celebrated in June is Mens Mental Health Awareness Month !! To all the man-identifying people out there, you're so important and your mental health, good or bad, matters incredibly. Don't be afraid to reach out to those around you !!
; this goes for whatever situation, js remember !!
; you aren't weak for reaching out, you're infact the opposite. Reaching out is scary, but you're strong. You can do this.
; you aren't " unmanly " for reaching out ( being emotional doesn't make you " less of " a man, in fact I'd say being vulnerable is super manly )
; you're allowed to have bad days and need comfort
; you can do this, it may seem impossible but if you really want to, then you'll get through this. You're so strong !! Really !!
; if you've lost someone close to you ( family member, friend, partner, pet, etc ) it's okay to take time for yourself, grieve all you need.
; to the transmen, etc, who don't feel like this month applies to you: it does !! Mens mental health awareness month is for men, and you're a man :]
; whether your young or old, your experiences and emotions are valid
; your trauma is valid, even if others don't believe it or maybe downplay it. It happened to you, it effected you, it wasn't okay. It's okay to not feel alright !!
; you deserve love and kindness and sweet affection. And you will find people who give that to you
; take yourself out on a self care date !! Whether that's going out to walk in the park, getting your nails done, reading at your favourite cafe, going to the gym. Or having a movie night in your bed, staying home and resting, doing a hobby like reading, crochet, music, watch a favorite program, whatever !
; take a break from social media, it can be a messed up place, especially if you spend to long on there. Turn off your phone and enjoy the little things around you !!
; have some snacks, drink some water. Shower if you can, and if not try washing your face instead !! Hygiene can be hard sometimes, ik, but js take it slow
; do whatever makes you happy, or comfortable, whatever. Take care of yourself and never ever be ashamed about reaching out. Be afraid all you want, it's a scary thing, but never feel ashamed for needing help. I'm proud of you and I love you <33
; happy men's mental health awareness month !!
Aider spends a lot of time on his own, usually in his room just laying in bed. Memories like to circle through his mind constantly, the voices of those who’ve passed come to haunt him. They don’t usually say anything hurtful to him, especially not his late mother or sister, but it still leaves a taunting feeling in his gut that drives him mad.
He’d die if he could. He’s tried over and over again but he’d wake up just as soon as he’d black out. It’s useless, so he just lets himself rot.
It’s the little things that make it all the better for him.
