Christmas and New Year can be full of wonder and cheer, but it can also be full of sadness and loneliness for some. It is hard to push through emotions, however I feel as though it isn’t spoken about enough. Mental health and illness within men is an extremely difficult subject, but it is one of the biggest silent killers of today.
We need to be told that it is okay to not be okay.
