There are resources & support systems available to help you through tough times. Break the stigma surrounding men’s #mentalhealth. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. It takes courage to confront our innermost thoughts & feelings, but doing so can lead to healing & growth.

Whether it's through #hypnotherapy #counselling, #CBT or simply talking to a friend, addressing these issues is essential for our mental and #physical health. I know that opening up about our struggles can be difficult, but it's important to remember that you're not alone.

Unlike the hormonal changes in women, the drop is unlikely to have an impact on men’s wellbeing. However, midlife changes that include #lifestyle factors & #psychological problems can contribute to a decline in & overall #well-being. It's crucial that we open up & seek help when we're struggling.

As we age, our bodies go through numerous changes, both physically and mentally. One aspect that often gets overlooked is the decrease in testosterone levels in men, starting from around the age of 30. Testosterone levels can fall by about 1% per year from the age of 30 to 40.

..about the services I offer and the discounts for Equity and similar entertainment unions. I ran an online workshop with the wonderful @johncraggs.bsky.social a few years ago and will be running one again in the new year. Don't suffer in silence. #positivty #wellness #creatives #acting

Are you a creative struggling with a #mentalhealth issue or maybe you just want to learn some ways to switch off & relax. I am a longstanding @equityuk.bsky.social member & help people online. It's great that @actorsnetworkuk.bsky.social is offering support here. Reach out to find out more..

Yes, I walked past it this morning. Keep raising awareness, everyone, and it's great to see and hear you in parliament, Carla. Always happy support the party on #mentalhealth issues.

As someone involved in education for many years it is great to see this. It would also be wonderful if alternative therapies such as hypnotherapy had the chance to be involved in the conversations. It's a shame that opportunities to do a PHD showing the benefits of hypnosis are also lacking.

This is a wonderful poem by Jasmine Kaur. She writes with amazing power. Given what has happened in the US election, more people should read her words. 'Scream, so that one day, a hundred years from now, another sister will not have to dry her tears wondering where in history she lost her voice'.

It is crucial for voters to hold their elected officials accountable and demand policies that prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable members of society. People like Laura Kuenssberg continually give a mouthpiece to the right wing press & thankfully we have BlueSky. #mentalhealth #politics

It is more important than ever to prioritize investing in education and mental health resources to ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to thrive. By advocating for policies that prioritize the well-being of all citizens to create a more compassionate and equitable society.

What's rarely discussed is the psychology of Tories & their support for policies that lack conscience & empathy towards those in need. They mirror the leaders, who peddle fear, division, lies & prioritize profit over people, creating a divided society suffering from a lack of social cohesion.

The lack of funding for education and training programs has also contributed to a systemic lack of resources for those struggling with mental health issues. Without access to quality education & training, individuals are more likely to experience mental health problems and struggle to find support.

I am deeply concerned about the long-term impact of Tory governments on our society's mental well-being. The combination of austerity measures, lack of investment in mental health services, Covid-19 pandemic created a perfect storm for a mental health crisis in our country.

Start today - focus on what brings you joy, such as your birds, then find other things. Set aside time each day to do this. What lights your soul on fire, and what do you truly desire in life? The possibilities are endless when you choose to focus on the positive. #mentalhealth #positivity

Let go of the negative energy holding you back and embrace positivity and abundance. Just like a tree sheds its leaves in the fall to make room for new growth in the spring, we too must shed our old ways and beliefs in order to make way for a brighter future.

As we journey through life, it's easy to get bogged down by the mistakes and regrets of our past. But remember, you can't change what's already happened - what you can change is the direction of your future. Focus on your goals, your dreams, and what you want to achieve in life.

I saw Tony live at the Albert Hall. He was a master. The whole set was effortlessly performed.

A high school junior (16) shared her experience of how girls and boys at her school reacted to the US election. I was moved and unsettled by this beautifully-written piece, including by the line “the kind of man my mother instructs me to cross the street to avoid will be addressed as Mr President”.

It reinforces harmful power dynamics that hinder progress towards gender equality and ultimately undermine the health and well-being of all individuals involved. It is crucial for society to challenge and resist these forces in order to create a more equitable and just world for everyone.

Their rhetoric perpetuates harmful stereotypes and beliefs about gender roles, leading to discrimination and violence against women. This toxic behaviour is not only damaging to the individuals affected by it, but also to society as a whole.

Emboldened men, such as Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, and Andrew Tate, are indicative of a larger cultural problem rooted in toxic masculinity. These men leverage fear and control to maintain power and dominance over not only other men, but also women.

Thanks for sharing. Just signed.

720,000, from the WHO, covers both genders. However, men account for 75/80% & the leading cause of death of men under 50. More help needs to be provided to support mental health. I've lost 2 close friends, one in 20's & the other 30's. Reach out and talk. There are solutions. #mentalhealth

If governments in the 60s & 70s had invested in alternative energy sources rather than nuclear, the planet would be much healthier, & prices low. Even Jimmy Carter in the US had solar panels on the roof of the White House in 1979. More needs to be done & fossil fuels consigned to history.

I agree. When I got my first job in theatre, I joined BETA (Broadcasting & Entertainment Alliance), then eventually @equityuk.bsky.social. Having the advice, protection, & support from a union is essential. As well as a good agent. I am in the process of looking for one.
