30 Plus Mens Fitness Podcast Episode 35

In this episode I talk openly about depression, anxiety and male suicide. This was triggered by the tragic and recent loss of The Prodigy frontman who sadly took his own life in March. A hero to not just myself but to many other men of my age group this really got me thinking about the pressures we face daily as modern men that we often chose to hide from our loved ones. Having lost one of my best friends and co-founder of 30 Plus Men's Fitness, Mark Ramskill back in 2012 to suicide this recent event certainly stirred up a lot of emotions. Across the UK in 2018, a staggering 4,661 men took their own lives, this is a frightening figure indeed. Here I talk about some of the things that I have been through with anxiety and depression and how I overcame this. I also discuss why so many busy over 30s,40s and 50s men feel so overwhelmed in this day and age and yet at the same time unable to talk about it. This one is pretty deep, and if it helps 1 man to understand that they are not alone with their daily thoughts and anxieties then I have done my job. As always I'd love to hear your feedback.
