Little yarn about why
I'm completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
This topic really has a strong impact on my life. For a long time I denied needing to talk about mental health struggles, only wanting to put my own problems aside and say to people, “hey I’m here if you need someone”.
All I wanted was to keep as many others away from the pain I was in every day, to keep them from the suffering, grief, and the biggest empty feeling you could ever imagine. I never spoke about my struggles, until it was almost too late.
But soon after opening up, I found that, I was truly not alone in hiding my emotions. I found that I was able to kickstart others who were hiding things from everyone else to start talking.
I’ve learnt now that sometimes the best thing is that if no one’s talking about things going on, doesn’t mean it’s not going on, so take a leap and open that conversation, go for that coffee with that person, sit and have a meal to chat about things going on because it works
For that reason I will be raising money to spread awareness of mental health, especially in men, but also everyone else.
God bless you all, and let’s push for better!
Dedicated to: Everyone who has talked to me about their troubles
