he said that male depression gets treated like female depression men are made to feel loved and accepted when they want to feel capable and powerful and the problem that we had there was that you were treating male depression and male mental health like female depression I had a brilliant upbringing I've got great parents great grandparents and then I think about the lessons that my dad taught me there's two things that really stand out once I rode my bike over my neighbor's lawn and he grabbed me around the Scruff of the neck and he said you respect other people's property you never do that again you go and apologize that for me was the male role model it would be tough be strong be respectful there's another one and I remember when I'd done something wrong and I was so upset and he just sat there and he went what are you going to do about it and that feeling of Ben you have to be strong you have to take control of the situation things have to be much more tangible what are you going to do about it I don't want to put someone just to sit there and stroke my ego and tell me that everything's gonna be okay and I'm okay the way I am because I think that over a prolonged period of time can definitely lead to entitlement and I don't think it's the right thing in the long term

I know his father , an awesome human a friend a mentor Steve Francis
I honestly agree with this but its other subjects too-
We treat female adhd like male adhd. I think we really need more research on how both things impavt different genders and what works for either groups.
Using the same solution on the same problem even tho it presents differently is inefficient in my eyes
The biggest problem about being strong, being tough, being respectful is, today the respect is often missing with young folks. So they think being a man is fighting and disrespecting other man to prove that you’re strong and tough.
The current state of the Mental Health Services in the UK are diabolical! You ask for help and then have to wait months and well into a year, possibly two for any form of support. I’ve battled ADHD, Autism, Depression and Anxiety for 35+ years and it’s fair to say it’s been brutal. Then in 2023 I was diagnosed with Severe Traits of Borderline Personality Disorder, because of my childhood, then intermingle with a mixture of a children’s psychiatric unit, mainstream and special needs schools alongside a boarding school, having to go to a strange family for a weekend – so my family could have time away from the stress of looking after me, then being bullied both at school and at work, alongside a failed marriage, being pressured into working long hours all the time, an up and down relationship with my second wife, the Covid Pandemic, not being able to go hiking or walking anymore just led to me snapping in half five years ago. I slept on the sofa for over three years, shut down mentally, hardly left the house and my now ex wife gave me covid which led to long covid and her dumping me 7 months later. Both my Mental and Physical Health have dive-bombed over the last five years. I’ve lost my marriage, my dog, my home, I’ve severed ties with family over the last ten years and have lost some dear friends in the last five years to. In the space of 11 months I went through – 1 psychiatric unit, 1 town, 1 city, being labelled homeless, living in 24 hour support for 3 months, a multi occupancy house for 6 months, 4 gp surgeries and now in my own flat. When you’re told at 40 you need to bid on housing for someone over 60 it makes you stop, then take a pause and kicks you down. I’m now living independently in a supported living flat ( which feels like prison) I have to use a stairlift, a stool to shower, wash and shave, a frame around the toilet to aid me to stand, grab rails and a walking stick inside and outside of the house alongside a care link system. I’ve been on the waiting list for over seven months, waiting for a social prescriber the same amount of time, the lack of support I’ve received in the last five years for my mental health has been for a polite term lacking to say the least. I have just become a recluse to say the least, I’ve only left my flat, once in the last two months, I’ve severed all ties with my friends as it was just one way service with me always being the one to message, I’ve just spent the last three and a half days in bed, I feel the constant presence of the grim reaper on my left shoulder, even though I want to go he keeps saying it’s not your time. I have just given up fighting because I just have nothing to fight for anymore.
There is no such thing as depression having genders. Any age any gender can have depression. There are not only 2 genders, there are way more. Depression is genderless.
Nothing helped me. Not the journaling, not the breathing exercises, not the podcasts about grit and growth. I thought maybe my brain just wasn’t built for peace. Then I gave The Hidden Mind Codex a chance—and I swear, from the first chapter, it was different. It explained what no one else ever mentioned. I felt mental shifts within days. Not hype—just facts. If you’ve tried it all and still feel stuck, read this book before you give up on yourself.
GUYS, YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS. For YEARS, I thought I understood personal growth—reading books, meditating, forcing gratitude. But nothing ever stuck. Then I found The Hidden Mind Codex, and within a few pages, it hit me: I was doing it all wrong. This book showed me what’s really going on beneath the surface—and how to fix it. My clarity, focus, and inner peace skyrocketed in days. If mental clarity feels impossible, this is the book you need.
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU GIVE UP. I tried every mental technique out there—reframing thoughts, repeating mantras, forcing myself to be “disciplined”—nothing worked. I felt like a failure. But then I stumbled on The Hidden Mind Codex, and by page one, I knew this wasn’t like anything I’d read. It showed me exactly why my efforts kept falling flat. And once I made those shifts… everything changed. It’s not magic—it’s just finally knowing the truth about your mind.
I used to think mindset was just another trendy word influencers used to feel important. But when I hit my lowest point mentally, I picked up The Hidden Mind Codex out of pure desperation. What I found inside shocked me—it’s not about fake confidence or smiling through pain. It’s about understanding how your mind actually works. This book taught me more in a week than years of motivational videos ever did. Don’t skip this one.

Saw The Hidden Mind Codex pop up a few times on my feed. Everyone kept saying it changed their mindset, so I gave it a go. I’m glad I did. It wasn’t some basic “believe in yourself” type of book—it actually helped me understand why I think the way I do. No BS. Just real insights. That’s rare these days.
I was DONE with self-help. Seriously. I’d spent years reading mindset books, doing “mental hacks,” trying to think positive—and nothing changed. I thought I was broken. Then I read The Hidden Mind Codex—and it completely flipped the script. No fluff, no clichés—just raw truths I’d never seen before. Within days, I felt sharper, more in control. If you think mental mastery isn’t real—it’s probably because you haven’t read this book.
I yearn for the mines
This is not the miyagi do way
I am Steve
Chicken jockey
Chris you a legend. Thank you
I'm expected ro ve tough and trong like a ďude by my man he wants me to be capable so he doesn't have to help me he's thought that of all the women he's ha rtionhips
wait, you think women is just sit in a circle saying "oh you did something wrong? don't worry, you're perfect the way you are" ???
how delusional is this man?
women talk about WHAT they did, WHY they did it, how it affected others, how they feel about it, how to fix it (and if it's a mother to a child, most likely WHAT you learned)
and honestly i think it would benefit men to be raised the same way, because you can really see the lack of empathy and emptional intelligence in men nowdays.
Why people are so biological sex and gender centered
Aren't they just human beings at first, personalities, souls
Or the walking genitals
I hate it
Girls too often grow up now with single mothers who start disliking them when they start puberty, they vave to grow up fast, and no bio dad to be there for them (moms boyfriend makes it even worse). Sons get spoiled by their needy moms and cant grow up, Cartman-itis. Entitled.
I was the time of person that grew up with a dad that always said don’t cry your a man suck it up
I never faking had a real dad he beat my mom he screamed I have to teach my self
😢I completely understand the situation and circumstances my point exactly
