Riding for men’s mental health

hey guys, I’m riding over 200kms🤟starting from the beautiful area in the South Coast of NSW and finishing at Canberra, hopefully Parliament House!!!! 🏠💯🖤💛❤️ let’s spread the word about mental illness and getting help! let’s get together by putting our bodies on the line to raise awareness, raise money for the causes for the community’s to help someone who needs help with mental illness. It’s NEVER to Late! To ask for help & start YOUR Recovery ❤️‍🩹 I’m not talking for someone else’s perspective, I’m speaking from my heart & my life experiences, for many long painful years suffered with mental health, childhood trauma, racism, addiction, institutionalisation, homelessness & heart breaking manic moments that have hurt My Loved ones around me in my spiral of self destruction, I was lost and didn’t know how to ask for help couldn’t see anything wrong just the people around me letting me know something is wrong, yet refusing to see it. I was too scared to ask help!! My “Man” pride was on the line in my eyes, I had hit rock bottom, I had given up, when your in those dark moments you can’t see any light, YOUR IN SURVIVAL MODE! I lost my My Loved ones 💔it was then, I said enough fighting, enough bad energy, I realised my path of destruction. I wanted my Family back & was willing to move heaven & earth to right my wrongs of the past and achieve this goal. I did what any “Man”, in the true meaning of the word, would do and that is take the first steps to make the changes, engaged the support networks in my area for assistance in this fight for my life and get my Family back. You are worth fighting for! Family is worth fighting for! Stronger together In the eyes of all the diversity that I have faced, I’m 18months into my recovery ❤️‍🩹journey & going strong 💪🏻 The definition of a “Man” is deeper than any pre conceived notion that my life had shown me. Pride for a real Man is, self descovery, seeking help, realism, reflection, connection, looking trauma in the face & processing it in a health professional environment. My Family have begun to reconnect and support me on my ongoing life journey to self discovery & healing and this I’m forever grateful. Today I will not stop to there is change’s to the system, to spread the word about mental health awareness and the ability of getting out of that ugly head space and showing life is worth living for and lead the way for our next generation our children there children. not everyone can walk into an office listen to someone who is very educated but not experienced in the life we have lived,endured !! u don’t communicate with.. believe me today with the system changing we fight for better health more help I believe there is a door u can ask for to be free from all headspace!!! I been there black dog institution is the answer first love guys the answer starts there. Share
