But give me chance to explain... The leading cause of death in men under 30 is suicide. I know 3 men who have been good friends in the past who went on to take their own life, I know numerous others I wasn't close to but were school friends or acquaintances. Apparently a young man takes his own life every 2hrs. Andy's man club takes its name from Andy Roberts who took his own life aged 23. It was started by his friends to give men a chance to meet and talk without judgement. They meet at 7pm on Mondays at over 100 locations around the UK. I've been through the worst 6 months of my life due to numerous reasons. Now I have good mates, good social networks and a good family. I've never been suicidal.....but I have experienced some very low lows. I'm sure we will get some funny comments about the name 'man club'...but I'll add a link below if anyone wants it Andy's Man Club | #ITSOKAYTOTALK ANDYSMANCLUB.CO.UK ANDYSMANCLUB are a men’s suicide prevention charity, offering free-to-attend peer-to-peer support groups... I respect your honesty and openness ✌ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bobtheferret 1,252 Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Went to the funeral of my 23 year old brother in law last year who hung himself and I can say that was not something I ever thought I would have to do and it was harrowing. Look out for those around you lads you just never know what people are dealing with in their own heads. Looking around at the funeral it was genuinely the most tragic thing to see how many people would have been there for him if he had just reached out. Anyone that feels that black dog stalking them just talk to someone. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doctors giving out tablets are the main problem I think. Exercise and good food are the basis for most issues 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
