1/4 This is one of the reasons I chose to do my CrossFit event this weekend, to coincide with World Mental Health Day.

#worldmentalhealthday #fitnessformentalhealth
For those that don't know, this weekend I will be completing a workout named Becky. Becky was a CrossFit coach and US military veteran who unfortunately suffered from PTSD and took her own life.

#WorldMentalHealthDay #fitnessformentalhealth
This weekend will be for all those suffering from mental health conditions and to those who unfortunately saw no other way out.

We need better support systems and we need to support each other, especially on our lowest days.

#WorldMentalHealthDay #fitnessformentalhealth
I hope there are people out there who can join me this Saturday and complete the workout.

For those that can't join, then I would love it if you could donate in any way possible through my Just Giving page, or by purchasing some "Fitness For Mental Health" merch where 90% of profits will be donated to mind.

It's World Mental Health Day, and I want to talk about it. I've had full-blown depression since I was 16, and I can remember the shadow of it on my heart as far back as I have memories. I remember being a boy at recess, sitting behind a tree, far away from others.
I didn't understand what it was, but I knew it was there, looking at me. 16 was when it first hit hard. That was bad, but 17 was worse. I was one of the captains of the swim team, but I was dying inside. I remember sitting in the pool before a meet and just sinking.
Staying underwater, not wanting to ever leave it. Several of my teammates lifted me up out of the water. I won't ever forget the feeling of being lifted out.

1/ On World MH day I’ve already seen ‘trans kids attempt suicide’ repeatedly on twitter. Surely this suggests these kids are confused, volatile and not in a good place to be making decisions that will make them medical patients for life and irreversibly change their bodies?
2/ WHY are adults are so desperate to spread this idea? Other demographics have equally high suicide rates but those who care for them don’t shout about it because they know that suicide ideation is ‘a thing’
3/ so trans-IDd adults & the parents of transitioned kids tell us ‘trans kids need to transition or they’ll kill themselves’. What terrible message does this give already disturbed children?

It’s World Mental Health Day today. It also happens to be the birthday of a person I love very much, a person I spent nearly a decade living with and being deeply in love with, and have in many ways, lost to mental illness. 5 years ago, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
He’s currently institutionallised. For the 4th time in 3 years. He hates it. I hate it. There seems to be no real way out: his family is unable to give him the care he needs, nor do they fully grasp his illness. I got exhausted being a sole caregiver & couldn’t keep going
This country has next to zero spaces or support structures for someone who’s severely ill. And nothing for their caregivers. It’s a shitty, lonely battle & eventually boils down to how much privilege can offset how poor the resources are (spoiler: not a lot). It’s dark and scary

Something that's equal parts inspiring and really sad is our collective economy of mental health support #WorldMentalHealthDay
A lot of us are varying degrees of messed up & unwell, whether a result of violent and oppressive systems or body chemistries (or both)...
...and we're all using what finite and often depleted energy and resources we have to support one another's health and well-being.
