This week is Men’s Mental Health Week, and we’re asking one simple question:
What would you tell your younger self about mental health?
We’re starting with our CEO, Neil Harris who says this:
Believe in yourself, be open about how you’re feeling and don’t worry what other people think.
In the photo below I had just won man of the match and for most people that would be really positive experience… but for me, it wasn’t, it meant I was the centre of attention, and that was always the last thing I wanted because I was shy. I didn’t want everyone looking at me, I didn’t want people’s praise and I didn’t want to be judged – in either a positive or negative way. And that takes me to the topic of mental health, one of the biggest things for us men is we don’t reach out for support because we don’t want to be judged, but the truth is no one is actually judging us because everyone is caught up in their own lives… and it’s taken me years to learn that. It’s taken years for me to be my authentic self and to tell people how I’m feeling… and I encourage everyone to do the same.
What would you tell your younger self?
