Andy's man club


Recommended Posts

Last time I went back home was for a good friends funeral,lost his job in his early 50’s,couldn’t get another,a few months later he parked on a bridge and jumped off,landed on the road below.He left his phone and wallet in the house with a note saying he had ID in his pocket and not to worry.

Hard topic for most men to deal with, we tend to keep everything bottled up and talking about your problems is deemed a weakness. I think we all have our low points, life in general throws certain amo

Suicide in men is rife I had to attend a suicidal male last night on a railway bridge all turned out well and hopefully he gets treatment, but any organisation where men can have a chat is a positive

The leading cause of death in men under 30 is suicide. I know 3 men who have been good friends in the past who went on to take their own life, I know numerous others I wasn't close to but were school friends or acquaintances. Apparently a young man takes his own life every 2hrs. 

Andy's man club takes its name from Andy Roberts who took his own life aged 23. It was started by his friends to give men a chance to meet and talk without judgement. They meet at 7pm on Mondays at over 100 locations around the UK. 

I've been through the worst 6 months of my life due to numerous reasons. Now I have good mates, good social networks and a good family. I've never been suicidal.....but I have experienced some very low lows. 

I'm sure we will get some funny comments about the name 'man club'...but I'll add a link below if anyone wants it  ?

I think a few spins with the dog is better than any antidepressant the Drs tries to give folk..

Went to the funeral of my 23 year old brother in law last year who hung himself and I can say that was not something I ever thought I would have to do and it was harrowing. Look out for those around you lads you just never know what people are dealing with in their own heads. Looking around at the funeral it was genuinely the most tragic thing to see how many people would have been there for him if he had just reached out. Anyone that feels that black dog stalking them just talk to someone.

Doctors giving out tablets are the main problem I think. Exercise and good food are the basis for most issues
