I’ve come to learn that breakups don’t just end relationships — they can unravel a person’s entire sense of self. And in Australia, that kind of pain can be deadly. Too many men are quietly falling apart after a relationship ends. Not because they’re weak, but because we never taught them how to process emotional pain. We taught them to “man up,” not to speak up. But let’s be clear — reaching out is manning up. Having the courage to say “I’m not okay” is one of the strongest things a man can do. In Australia, relationship breakdown is one of the biggest triggers for male suicide. That’s not just a statistic — that’s someone’s brother, mate, dad, or son. We need to talk about this. Not just on R U OK day, not just when it’s too late — but NOW. If you're going through it, please know this: the pain feels permanent, but it isn’t. You don’t have to carry it alone. Talk to someone. Call a mate. Call a helpline. Just take one step. It might save your life. 💚 Lifeline: 13 11 14 MensLine: 1300 78 99 78 ##SPEAKINGUPISMANNINGUP #MensMentalHealth ##mentalhealthawareness ##mentlahealthmatters #suicideprevention #Australia (fb)
Drugs & Depression in Australia: A Silent Struggle More Aussies than ever are battling depression—and many are turning to drugs as a way to cope. But here’s the truth: drugs might numb the pain for a moment, but they often make depression worse in the long run. It’s a cycle: Depression leads to drug use. Drug use deepens depression. And too often, it goes unnoticed. You’re not alone. There’s help. There’s hope. Reach out. Speak up.
