Many are angry, or feel a sense of failure, because they have lost a job or a business as a result of the Covid restrictions.
There is one thing men of all races in this country have in common: they think they’re tough. Whether in the pub, on the sports field, on the road and even in the office, they don’t like to be seen with “feelings” of any kind. Cowboys, we have been taught from an early age, don’t cry. Whatever life deals them, men must simply “suck it up” and carry on regardless. And the results of that are all too plain to see in our society. Men drink too much. Men abuse women.
Bottling up feelings and not talking about them leads to these perverse outcomes – but it also leads to an oppressive depression in many men, which can become so great that it leads to suicide. The World Health Organisation reports that men in South Africa are four times more likely to commit suicide than women.
There’s that cowboys don’t cry attitude again – it is weak to seek medical help for something which is often not obvious to people around us, like depression.
