12 A Day

There are so many who turn the other way when confronted with the emotions of others they don’t understand...fear can be such a detrimental element...rather than run, more should stick around and embrace while they learn something at the same time; it makes for a more well rounded individual and we need more people like that in the world...great write Sweet Rose!

It's indeed, whatever your gender a message we all need to hear, that talking about how you feel to another soul is ok to do
And we, the other souls shown to be worthy in listening without prejudice

Because mental illness can fall upon anyone

The experience of our feelings is the only truth we have.
Good work on this one

The experience aquired from my ex husband who went through some issues
Thankfully he sort help & was able to express to a good listener
Tnx kitty

i like the truth in this one. so sad when so many people take their lives. i wander if many '' men'' are silent over their struggles and instead of reaching out hide their feelings within, that or they try and talk and nobody is willing to listen ..i think maybe men think that reaching for help is a sign of weakness , i don't know . good piece of writing anyhow...

i suffer with mental illness , i cqn relate to this

I would imagine as you say in comments that many men especially
Would see it as a sign of weakness
Maybe as time goes on and it's talked about then maybe they will feel it's ok to talk and seek help
