Hey

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.920
A bit different video today.

00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:04.600
It's Mental Health awareness week!

00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:07.440
If you weren't aware before - you are now

00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:11.940
When I was younger I - I personally went through some tougher times

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:16.260
and I strongly think that having someone to talk to

00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:17.520
is extremely important

00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:20.360
and to share these emotions with

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.880
whether it's a friend, a parent, someone you love

00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:26.380
don't let it bottle up inside

00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:30.780
Just telling someone how you really feel can sometimes be life changing

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:32.320
and it's extremely important

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.340
And you may not have mental health issues yourself

00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:37.860
but you can always be there as a helping hand for someone else

00:00:38.020 --> 00:00:42.420
and I think this week is especially a great time to keep that in mind

00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:47.820
Suicide is still the leading cause of death for males between the age of 20 and 50

00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:51.820
even though females are more likely to get depressed

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:56.080
They are generally better at seeking help to others when they do

00:00:56.820 --> 00:01:02.480
There is a bit of a stigma for guys to talk about you know feelings and all these things

00:01:02.660 --> 00:01:03.840
it's not cool enough

00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:08.000
I mean it's a stigma for everyone in general but especially males

00:01:08.380 --> 00:01:11.740
and if you feel like you don't have anyone to talk to

00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:14.040
there is this app called Talk Life

00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:18.100
Where you can share what ever emotions or thoughts that you have

00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.540
and there will be someone there to listen to you

00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:24.880
It's important to not let feelings get bottled up and try and cope with it on your own

00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:30.780
But at the same time some things are just really hard to talk about. You feel like you can't share it with everyone.

00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:33.380
So I think Talk Life is a really great solution to that

00:01:33.380 --> 00:01:39.400
If you are going through a crisis I will link to where you can find help as well wherever you are in the world

00:01:39.740 --> 00:01:42.380
and I think that's extremely important

00:01:44.360 --> 00:01:46.280
I want you to know that it's ok

00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.120
It's common to feel this way

00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.520
and everyone goes through different emotions throughout their life

00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:57.360
and there's nothing wrong with that and there's nothing to be ashamed about

00:01:57.860 --> 00:02:01.020
Like I said I've struggled with thoughts myself

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:08.280
especially with being younger and for what its worth I think

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:14.600
pulling through you'll be stronger for doing it

00:02:15.820 --> 00:02:18.780
and  no matter who you are life is worth living

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:20.680
and better days will come

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:21.720
I promise

00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.920
That's it from me today

00:02:25.100 --> 00:02:28.680
definitely check out the links I left in the description

00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:34.540
It's a really great chance to be a helping hand this week as well - It could really change someones life.

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.240
That's it from me for now - Bro fist
