IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
CHANGE YOUR CHOICES.

- Alcohol
- Drugs
- False people
- The wrong job
- Lack of routine
- Holding it all in and not talking.

All these things are the biggest contributors to mental ill health.

They fog your reality and keep you trapped.

They exasperate your condition.

Your not broken, your just scared to step out of what you think is your comfort zone and take action.

Its not handed to you on plate. No one is going to knock on the door and offer you all the help you need.

YOU need to open up and search for positive actions you need to take.

And trust me from experience its not the BS you see on social media. Running 5 miles a day, going to the gym daily, eating special food, taking special supplements or any other crap.
They are just replacement addictions that mask the route of your mental ill health.

Trust me I have tried them all.

Take the first real step to managing your mental health. Speak with others that have lived the same experience. And do it in a non judgmental setting with other VETERANS.

At Ease Veteran Support Group, see our page first meeting coming soon.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO FAIL.
BE AFRAID NOT TO TRY....

For years the thought of trying to get better feels distant. If you fail its another thing to add to the pile of disappointment.

You hide it, you mask it, you act normal, you over compensate. Drink, drugs, work, anything to hide what's really going on.

Its only when you admit your failure, your struggles, your true mental ill health that you can start.

So what if you fail. Start again.

Take it from a person who has failed more than enough times. But with ever now start you get a little more down the path.

Its not about getting to the destination as fast as you can. You will need to work on it daily for a long time.

But everyday gets better and you learn more becoming more resilient.

Don't battle it alone. Others have experienced what you are feeling and are on the journey aswell.

Take the first step. Grab a brew and come for a chat.

People are so wrapped up in their own mess they don't notice you. The world keeps spinning.

When you have mental ill health you think you hold a sign above your head. Others are looking at you, judging. There is a stigma around it.

The truth is no one gives a hoot. They are wrapped up in their own little world, with their own stresses and worries.

This is a double edged sword....
1. You don't need to worry about what others think or portray you as.
2. They also don't see you need help !!!!

You need to reach out and seek the people that understand your struggles. That have lived them and can help share your journey.

TALKING about your mental health is not ATTENTION seeking.

People suffer in silence day after day due to this stigma.

And when its to late others say "I wish I had spoke to them or they came to me"

We need to normalise talking about mental health. Its a silent epidemic sweeping the country.

THE MALE LONELINESS EPIDEMIC IS REAL AND SILENT.

REAL GROWTH HAPPENS WHEN YOUR TIRED OF YOUR OWN CRAP.

It's that constant cycle, the never ending loop. Your stuck in it for days, weeks, months even years.
From feeling hollow, to eating rubbish, putting weight on, then depression. And the loop starts again.
It's all in your head.

It's all over Facebook at the moment. Mens mental health month.

Mental health is an on going battle men face.
Having people only care for a month to chase content sickens me.

We must face the truth and understand that men and women struggle everyday with just normal life.

Add the effects of a life in the military on top of that and it multiples.

Don't suffer in silence. Join us for our first meeting.

Let's be honest....NEW S**T IS SCARY.

Don't sugar coat it.

Going beyond your comfort zone is scary.
Meeting new people is scary.

Thinking the same s**t all the time.
No one will like me.
No one will get it.
No one understands.

I use to think this. And trapped myself for years, i still think it at least once a month.

Some advice. Just start. Take the step.

Share this post with a veteran who needs to read it. A veteran who does not know where to turn.
Even if their not on Facebook. Screen shot it and send it to them.

Don't be Facebook shamed into not liking and sharing!

I know there are Iraq and Afghanistan veterans out there that need this group. I NEED THIS GROUP!!!!!!

But I am not reaching them.

Share the post! Tell someone about this post. Send this post to the person you think needs it.

The At Ease Veteran Support Group is there to help.
But if no one comes for that help I am effecting my own mental health and I have learnt that sometimes you need to close doors if no one walks in.
