📣 FINAL POST – How’s Dad? Sut mae Dad?
Abbey Road Centre Takeover

Dads matter.
Your mental health matters.
Your story matters.

No dad should ever feel he has to suffer in silence — not the dad who’s overwhelmed, lost, or pretending he’s “fine.”

If you remember one thing from this takeover, let it be this:

Asking for help isn’t weakness.
It’s courage.
It’s survival.
It’s hope.

To every dad struggling quietly — you’re not alone. You don’t have to carry this by yourself. Support exists, and people genuinely care that you’re here tomorrow.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for listening.
And please keep asking — honestly — “How’s Dad?”

Today we’ve been in Nottingham with family, watching the panto together — a simple moment, full of laughs, full of noise, full of the kind of warmth you only feel when you’re surrounded by people who love you.

But behind moments like these, there are so many dads doing their best while carrying things they never say out loud.

Some dads sit in a room full of people and still feel alone.
Some dads make memories for their kids while fighting battles no one can see.
Some dads just need someone to ask — genuinely — “How’s Dad?”

This takeover is nearly at an end, but the message doesn’t stop here.
If you’re a dad struggling… if you’re tired, overwhelmed, low, or just not feeling like yourself — please know this:

You matter.
You’re needed.
And there is help, today, right now.

Reach out. Speak up. You deserve support just as much as anyone else.

Heddiw rydyn ni yn Nottingham gyda’r teulu, yn gwylio’r panto — eiliad syml, llawn chwerthin, llawn sŵn, llawn y cynhesrwydd sy’n dod o fod gyda’r bobl sy’n ein caru ni fwyaf.

Ond y tu ôl i eiliadau fel hyn, mae cymaint o dadau yn gwneud eu gorau tra’n cario pethau nad ydyn nhw byth yn dweud yn uchel.

Mae rhai dadau’n eistedd mewn ystafell lawn ond yn teimlo’n unig.
Mae rhai’n creu atgofion i’w plant tra’n brwydro ymladd na all neb ei weld.
Mae rhai jyst angen i rywun ofyn — yn onest — “Sut mae Dad?”

Mae’r takeover bron dod i ben, ond dydy’r neges ddim.
Os wyt ti’n dad sy’n ei chael hi’n anodd… os wyt ti’n flinedig, dan bwysau, yn isel neu ddim yn teimlo dy hun — cofia hyn:

Rwyt ti’n bwysig.
Rwyt ti’n angenrheidiol.
A mae cymorth ar gael heddiw, rŵan.

Cyrraedd allan. Siarada. Ti’n haeddu cefnogaeth fel pawb arall.

Today’s post from How’s Dad? Sut mae Dad?

Some days feel heavier than others.
For many dads, especially those juggling work, family, sleepless nights, or quiet battles with their own mental health, carrying on can feel exhausting.

If that’s you today, please know this: you’re not failing — you’re feeling, and that’s human.
You deserve space, understanding, and real support.

Reaching out isn’t a weakness.
It’s an act of care — for yourself, and for the people who love you.

If you need someone to talk to, even if you don’t know what to say, support is here 24/7:

Today I went to get my testicles checked. Something didn’t feel right — and instead of assuming it was nothing, I got it looked at.

And as men… we don’t talk about this.
At all.

So much of the anxiety we carry comes from going to the doctor — worrying what they’ll say, or fearing the unknown. That fear alone can be a huge mental load.

The good news?
It was a false alarm. Nothing to worry about.
But even if it hadn’t been — knowing early is ALWAYS better.

The truth:
👉 Getting checked is brave, responsible, and genuinely “manly.”
👉 It’s better to know than panic quietly.
👉 Early detection can save your life.

If something doesn’t feel right — go. Book the appointment. Don’t wait. Don’t stay silent.

We all worry. We all get scared. That doesn’t make you any less of a man.

If you’re struggling with fear, anxiety, or don’t know where to turn — you’re not alone.

Heddiw es i i gael gwiriad ar fy nhesticlau. Roedd rhywbeth ddim yn teimlo’n iawn — felly ges i wirio’n iawn. Fe wnaethon nhw hefyd wneud prawf prostad.

Ac fel dynion… dydyn ni ddim yn siarad am hyn.
O gwbl.

Mae cymaint o’r pryder yn dod o fynd at y meddyg — ofni beth fyddan nhw’n ei ddweud, neu beidio gwybod be i ddisgwyl. Mae’r ofn yma’n gallu bod yn llethol.

Y newyddion da?
Roedd yn ffals alarem — dim byd i boeni amdano.
Ond petai ddim, byddai’n well gwybod yn gynnar.

Dyma’r gwir:
👉 Mae cael gwiriad yn ddewr, yn gyfrifol, ac yn wirioneddol “ddynol.”
👉 Mae’n well gwybod na phoeni’n dawel.
👉 Ac mae canfod rhywbeth yn gynnar yn gallu achub bywyd.

Os wyt ti’n teimlo bod rhywbeth ddim yn iawn — cer. Gwna’r apwyntiad. Paid â disgwyl. Paid â bod yn dawel.

Rydyn ni i gyd yn poeni. Rydyn ni i gyd yn cael ofn. Dydy hynny ddim yn gwneud ti’n llai o ddyn.

Os wyt ti’n brwydro gyda’r pryder neu ddim yn siŵr lle i droi — rwyt ti ddim ar ben dy hun.

📣 How’s Dad? Sut mae Dad? — Abbey Road Takeover

I’ve been a little quiet the last few days…
I’ve been away celebrating my 40th birthday 🥳

And hitting a milestone like that really makes you reflect.
As we enter the final week of Men’s Mental Health Month, I want to share something honest ⤵️

I’m grateful to still be here.
Grateful to reach 40 when there were moments I genuinely didn’t think I would.
Grateful for the people who kept me going.
Grateful for every dad who chooses to stay, speak up, or reach out — even on the hardest days.

Turning 40 reminded me:
Every year, every month, every day we make it through is a victory.
And you deserve to celebrate your victories too — even the quiet ones.

If you’re struggling today, please know this:
You are needed. You are loved. You are not alone.

Rwyf wedi bod yn dawel dros y dyddiau diwethaf…
Roeddwn i i ffwrdd yn dathlu fy mhen-blwydd yn 40 🥳

Mae taro carreg filltir fel hyn yn gwneud i chi fyfyrio.
Wrth i ni fynd i mewn i’r wythnos olaf o Fis Iechyd Meddwl Dynion, rwy am rannu rhywbeth gonest ⤵️

Rwy’n ddiolchgar fy mod i dal yma.
Yn ddiolchgar i gyrraedd 40 pan oedd adegau pan nad oeddwn yn meddwl y byddwn yn cyrraedd o gwbl.
Yn ddiolchgar am y bobl a’m cadwodd i fynd.
Yn ddiolchgar am bob tad sy’n dewis aros, siarad neu gyrraedd allan — hyd yn oed ar y dyddiau anoddaf.

Mae troi’n 40 wedi atgoffa fi:
Mae pob blwyddyn, pob mis, pob diwrnod rydyn ni’n ei wneud drwyddo yn fuddugoliaeth.
Ac rydych CHI yn haeddu dathlu eich buddugoliaethau hefyd.

Os ydych chi’n cael trafferth heddiw, cofiwch hyn:
Rydych chi’n bwysig. Rydych chi’n cael eich caru. Dydych chi ddim ar eich pen eich hun.

This weekend I’m turning 40 — a milestone that, for many of us, comes with pressure.
We grow up with ideas like “I need to achieve this before I’m 30… do that before I’m 40…”

But the truth is: life isn’t a checklist.
It’s a journey, and every one of us moves at our own pace. Your value isn’t measured by your achievements, your job title, or how “together” you feel you should be. You’re allowed to grow slowly. You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to change direction.

I’m taking a much-needed few days off to spend time with my family, so apologies for the radio silence over the weekend. I’ll be back on Tuesday and will continue the Abbey Road takeover then.

If you’re struggling at any point, please reach out for support:

📞 NHS 111 – option 2 (24/7 mental health support)
📞 Samaritans – call 116 123 or email [email protected]

Dwi’n troi’n 40 penwythnos yma — carreg filltir sy’n dod â lot o bwysau i lawer ohonom.
Rydyn ni’n tyfu i fyny’n meddwl “Rhaid i fi wneud hyn cyn 30… cyflawni hyn cyn 40…”

Ond y gwir yw hyn: nid rhestr dasgau yw bywyd.
Mae’n daith, ac mae pob un ohonom yn symud ar ein cyflymder ein hunain. Nid yw’ch gwerth yn cael ei fesur gan gyflawniadau, teitlau swydd, neu ba mor “drefnus” rydych chi’n teimlo y dylech fod. Mae’n iawn tyfu’n araf. Mae’n iawn cymryd egwyl. Mae’n iawn newid cyfeiriad.

Dwi’n cymryd ychydig o ddyddiau i ffwrdd i dreulio amser efo’r teulu, felly sori am y distawrwydd dros y penwythnos. Byddai nôl ddydd Mawrth ac yn parhau â’r takeover wedyn.

How’s Dad? Sut mae Dad?

19/11/2025

Today is Men’s Health Day. And I’ll be honest — it hits hard.
Not because it’s a campaign day…
but because I know what it feels like to nearly not make it.
To be a dad smiling on the outside while falling apart on the inside.

Since starting How’s Dad? Sut mae Dad?, dads have told me the same thing over and over:
“I didn’t want to be a burden.”

But here’s the truth we don’t say out loud enough:

14 men die by su***de every single day in the UK.
Su***de is the leading cause of death for young men.
1 in 5 men won’t see 65.

These aren’t numbers.
They’re dads.
Just like me.
Just like you.

Men’s Health Day isn’t a reminder to “raise awareness.”
It’s a reminder of how close we’re coming to losing more fathers in silence.

If you’re a dad struggling today — please hear this:
You are not a burden.
You are not weak.
You deserve help.
And you deserve to stay.

Heddiw yw Diwrnod Iechyd Dynion — ac mae’n taro’n galed.
Ddim oherwydd ymgyrch…
ond oherwydd fy mod i’n gwybod sut brofiad yw bod yn dad sy’n gwenu, ond yn dadfeilio’n dawel.

Ers dechrau How’s Dad? Sut mae Dad?, mae dads wedi dweud yr un peth dro ar ôl tro:
“Do’n i ddim eisiau bod yn faich.”

Ond dyma’r gwirionedd:

Mae 14 o ddynion yn marw trwy hunanladdiad bob dydd yn y DU.
Hunanladdiad yw prif achos marwolaeth dynion ifanc.
Ni fydd 1 o bob 5 dyn yn gweld 65.

Nid ystadegau yw’r rhain.
Maen nhw’n dadau.
Fel fi.
Fel chi.

Nid diwrnod ymwybyddiaeth yw hwn —
Mae’n atgoffa ni faint o dadau rydym ni ar fin eu colli mewn distawrwydd.

Os ydych chi’n dad ac yn ei chael hi’n anodd heddiw — cofiwch:
Dydych chi ddim yn faich.
Dydych chi ddim yn wan.
Rydych chi’n haeddu cymorth.
Rydych chi’n haeddu aros.

It’s okay not to be okay — but it’s also okay to be okay.
Talking about mental health can feel heavy, and living with depression can feel even heavier — but that doesn’t mean every day has to be the same.

If you wake up and the fog feels a bit lighter…
If you laugh at something silly…
If you find yourself enjoying a moment you didn’t expect to…
That’s not “faking it.” That’s healing. That’s being human.

Good days don’t erase the hard ones, but the hard ones don’t cancel out the good either.
Let yourself feel joy without guilt. You deserve those moments — all of them.

Take today exactly as it comes.
One moment at a time.
And remember: you’re not alone. 💛

✨ Mae’n iawn peidio bod yn iawn — ond mae’n iawn bod yn iawn hefyd.
Mae siarad am iechyd meddwl yn gallu teimlo’n drwm, ac mae byw gydag iselder yn gallu teimlo’n drymach — ond dydy hynny ddim yn golygu bod pob diwrnod yr un fath.

Os yw’r niwl yn teimlo ychydig yn ysgafnach…
Os wyt ti’n chwerthin am rywbeth hurt…
Os wyt ti’n mwynhau eiliad nad oeddit yn ei disgwyl…
Dydy hynny ddim yn “ffugio.” Dyna wella. Dyna bod yn ddynol.

Dydy diwrnodau da ddim yn dileu’r rhai anodd — ond dydy’r rhai anodd ddim yn dileu’r rhai da chwaith.
Gad i ti dy hun deimlo llawenydd heb euogrwydd. Ti’n haeddu’r eiliadau hynny — pob un ohonyn nhw.
