Many people think that a suicide attempt is a selfish move because the person just does not care about the people left behind . We can tell you right now that when a person gets to that point , they truly believe that their loved ones will be much better off without them. They feel a complete and utter burden!! This is mental illness not selfishness . The truth is depression and anxiety are both a terrible disease and can seem relentless . A lot of us have been close to the edge , or dealt with family members in a crisis , and some have lost friends and loved ones . Lets look out for each other and stop sweeping mental illness under the carpet. Let’s talk about it 🖤💛 #mandowncornwall2024💙 #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #mentalhealth #mensmentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealth #mensmentalhealthmatters #mensmentalhealthsupport #cornwalllife #depressionhelp #anxiety #suicideprevention

This is the Man Down Cornwall campaign video for 2024. It’s a thought-provoking watch, but that’s exactly what we want it to be. Far too many men suffer in silence and are not able to talk openly about how they feel about themselves, their lives and the world around them. The stigma of male mental health needs to end. Man Down run talking meetings around Cornwall (UK) for men with mental health concerns. Meetings are run by male volunteers with lived experience of mental health. We run these meetings to help men talk to other men in a safe, supportive environment without judgement. Together we can eradicate the stigma of male mental health. We want this video to be shared far and wide. We want to make men understand that the trauma effect and the destruction left behind after a life is taken is unbearable and utterly devastating for everyone involved. We are so very proud to share this with you all. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthSupport #cornwall #cornwallmamdown #LetsTalkAboutIt #NeverGiveUp
