💙 IN 2024, LEE TRIED TO TAKE HIS OWN LIFE. TODAY, HE’S TRYING TO HELP SAVE SOMEONE ELSE’S.
Please share this post as you never genuinely know a man scrolling fb right now may just need this…
This is Lee from Waterlooville, Portsmouth.
Two years ago, Lee found himself in such a dark place that he attempted to take his own life.
Thankfully, Lee is still here. ❤️
Today he works for the NHS, and instead of hiding what he went through, he’s decided to use one of the darkest times of his life to help other men who may be struggling in silence.
He’s started a men’s group called I’m here mate.
Because men don’t always say “I’m struggling.”
They don’t always say “I need help.”
Sometimes the conversation can start with just three words:
💙 “I’m here, mate.”
The group offers free relaxed meet-ups, walks and activities — somewhere men can make friends, have a laugh, talk without judgement or simply be around other people.
You don’t have to be in crisis to need someone.
So tonight, check on your mates.
The quiet one.
The one going through a tough time.
And check on the one who’s always laughing too.
Send that message:
“Alright mate? I’m here.”
Please SHARE Lee’s story. You genuinely never know which man scrolling Facebook tonight might desperately need to see it. 💙
