His moist eyelids hide severe wounds.
His silent lips share unheard screams.
His busy mind yearns for solace.
It's our duty and responsibility to take care of his emotions,
To let him express unhesitatingly,
To give him space to unleash that ailing self.
We understand it is hard to comprehend what’s going inside. It gets difficult to resolve the conflict between the heaviness of heart, the bustle of mind, and fear of societal norms? We know that you feel like talking it out, but you feel like none can understand you the way you want them to. The ailing crevices of your mind need a touch of empathy so that you can heal. You feel the need to have that unashamed conversation with the freedom of being candor, but this fear never lets you do so. Hence, you feel enough to bottle up and sit quietly to let the pain vanish away on its own.
But you must understand that it is important to recognize the indicators of poor mental health and express your feelings and seek treatment. For your knowledge, we have compiled a list of lifestyle recommendations that may be useful to you in your life.
Whether it's your parents, spouse, friend, or therapist, it's critical that you find at least one person to whom you can open up whether you're dealing with a mental health condition, another health condition, or any other situation that's weighing heavily on your mind. If you don't have anybody to confide in then you could even speak to someone anonymously.
We understand that sometimes you find it difficult to ask for help, and this is a huge issue in many aspects of your health. From ignoring a sickness to refusing to accept or work on mental health issues, avoidance is not going to assist anybody. So, the next time you feel physically or emotionally unwell, please don't be afraid to get treatment, since things might get a lot worse when ignored or kept aloof.
Don't just pass by your guy friends after making small talk. Try to show some support and care. Let's not limit our conversation to ''Hey, what's up bro?''. Try to ask relevant questions like ''How are you feeling? '' ''How can I help you?''. Encouraging your guy friends and becoming involved with supporting men's initiatives and charities is a terrific approach to creating a pleasant environment. It is reassuring to know that you are not alone and that there are many other men going through the same thing. Supporting them can really make a difference and also enhance your mental peace.
Forget about society when they ask you to ‘’man up’’, Bring a real man means having integrity, showing emotions, being empathetic, and caring for others. Real men Cry. Not only is it ok to cry, but it’s healthy. Crying can be so freeing. It’s an emotion we were born with, just like laughing, so do not try to suppress it. It's ok to cry when you’re watching a good movie when you see beautiful sunrise when you have tough conversations with your dear one and especially when you feel hurt emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. So, stop suppressing your emotions, and lean into them. Let yourself cry and watch the freedom that comes. Start sharing how you feel and allow yourself to heal.
Self-care is simply the act of taking time to focus on yourself. You allocate certain time during each day, or even just weekly, to put your stressors on the backbench, with the goal of improving your mental health. You need to take care of your mental, emotional, and physical health and self-care is an incredible personal practice for it. It can mean anything you want it to mean as long as it will help you stay physically and mentally well, even in times of isolation.
Do not be afraid to break free from societal norms and embrace your true self. You are beautiful, strong and extremely loved. More power to you 🙂
