You know what, in recent years I've become a lot more aware and accepting of my masculinity.
Over the years, for numerous reasons I'd suppressed it and been ashamed of it. But no longer am I pushing it away.
I'm embracing and yes, let's celebrate being MEN!  |

Id like to wish you all Happy International Men's Day. You sacrifice your happiness and life for the welfare of your family and loved ones. For all men with a heart of gold, this day is for you Kings. |

"I'm not sure how to celebrate. Suggestions?
Celebrate by reaching out to other males in your life and checking in on them. It takes a few minutes and could save a life. "
This!!!
This!!!
Please do, the largest killer of men under 45 is suicide, check the other men in your life are doing ok, ask them twice if you think something is up. Encourage open conversations about mental wellbeing. |

"Didn’t know this was a thing, once again Fab forum has been more informative than the main stream media.
Happy International Men’s Day."
You’ll struggle to find anything in the mainstream media celebrating men at the moment, kind of a taboo subject with some of the current movements |

At the moment having just lost my job and some underlying health problems, i have been struggling a little.
Not to the point of suicide but fully understand how easy it can be to get to that point.
We should be more open about this, keep an eye on your friends. |

Happy International Men's Day to the fantastic men of Fab. I hope the year ahead gives you the freedom and choice to open up if you want to do so, the support if you want it and far less men are awful threads. |

"Something wrong with the world when a post about wanking fills faster than this celebration of men.."
No, I think that's an accurate reflection of the World we live in. I bet this one doesn't even make the magic 175.. |

This is a great day to celebrate men and is very welcomed. Yes, recently it’s also focused on men’s mental health and I fully support that movement also.
I actively encourage everyone to reach out to the men in their lives and let them know they are appreciated for who they are and that they have a safe space to talk of needed. It’s important |

"Happy International Men’s Day I’m very lucky to have some incredible men in my life. One day the stigma will be broken x"
That’s the dream. Just talking about issues that effect mens lives is so important |

At least I know if I’m struggling, I can unload here. I find it so much easier than in person. I explained in another thread a few days ago, I grew up chronically shy, and as a consequence, keep myself to myself always. I while away the dark hours with my thoughts, and switch em off when the sun comes up. |

If you do need help, and not getting a response here, Samaritans have a text service and checkout thecalmzone.net - set up by men for men.
Also, if you (or any other man) wants to find a safe space to meet up and talk look up Men's Shed near me.

I am glad to see the shift in attitudes on here, too.
The first year I started an IMD thread there were just a few posts. It's never made it to 175, but this one is over 50, supportive and friendly.
Tea Monkey reminded you to check your balls, I'm reminding you to check your prostate and your breasts, as well as your mental wellbeing.
