November is Men’s Health Awareness Month, and it’s time we talk about it. Men struggle more than we let on—physically, mentally, emotionally. Let’s break the silence and help each other.
I’ve been struggling since 2015. I’m doing a lot better now, but boy, this world can be a shithole.
I’m giving away $500, but there’s a twist:
It must be used for self-improvement (gym, barber, therapy, etc.) or to help someone else (donation, paying it forward).
Winner provides proof of how they used it.
How to Enter:
Join the Topic: Share your thoughts, advice, or personal experience about men’s health.
Tag Others: Bring someone into the conversation who inspires or supports you.
No sarcasm. No jokes at others’ expense. This is about building a stronger, healthier community.
Winner chosen based on genuine impact and random draw for fairness. Let’s do this together.
Everyone should focus on their health, it’s only health which gives you good wealth. If you’re wealthy but not healthy, wealth is nothing. One should daily exercise and take good food with all nutrients and vitamins necessary for the body and sleep on time everyday for the amount of rest they need. Also, meditation and yoga is necessary for mental and physical health as well. Our work is online every day and we all are couch potato, most of us forget to go to gym. We should always be in touch with nature and take sun light everyday or the health problems will start coming if you just sit and make money. You must have hobbies and things you like to do like sports, listening to music, watching movies for being in love with life to entertain yourself and other family and friends too. If you only focus on business one day your life will be bored and there will no enjoyment even if you’ve so much money to spend. You will be broke and tired with health problems etc!
Thank you, always be happy. I hope all swapd members take this seriously and take a steps forward for their health. And make good income as well. Good luck to everyone on their life journey!
My advice is to not overlook the “small” stuff like eating & sleeping well, staying hydrated, and exercising. These are the building blocks that’ll help you with the “big” stuff like building your self-esteem, finding your purpose and achieving your goals.
The gym has been a cornerstone of my life for about a decade now, and it’s taught me that good things take time. It takes many years of good—small, but good—choices that compound over time.
A good life is similarly just a series of good choices that add up over time. You don’t need to have all your ducks in a row out of the gate. Establish a routine, set small goals, stay consistent, and trust that you’ll eventually get to where you want to be. And don’t forget to enjoy the journey.
Men’s health is a topic I’ve come to value deeply, especially after witnessing the silent struggles my father went through. He was the kind of man who carried the weight of the world without ever asking for help—always providing, always working, but rarely taking care of himself.
It wasn’t until he had a health scare in his late 50s that we realized how much he’d been neglecting his mental and physical well-being. That wake-up call changed everything for our family. He started therapy, prioritized exercise, and even encouraged me to open up more about my own mental health.
For me, the biggest takeaway has been this: taking care of yourself is not selfish; it’s necessary. Therapy has taught me to confront emotions instead of burying them. Hitting the gym helps me channel stress and focus on improvement. And most importantly, I’ve learned that vulnerability can be strength—it connects us in ways silence never will.
If you’re reading this and feel like you’re struggling alone, know this: you’re not. Start small. Open up to someone you trust, take a walk, or reach out for help. Men’s health isn’t just about living longer; it’s about living better
Never cut yourself short for your goals, always think of your mental and physical health. And its not always hustle, hustle & hustle thats not how it works, you will burnout before you know, so have a balance between every aspect of life. As life is all about balance……
My Health Journey and Advice:
“The first step is always the hardest, but the rest becomes easier.”
There was a time when I weighed 94 kg, couldn’t walk for more than 10 minutes without getting exhausted, and even sitting on a squat toilet for a few minutes was a struggle. Climbing stairs felt like a mountain, I was addicted to junk food, and I hated yoga and regular exercise.
Then I came across a piece of advice: “Start small—even a 2-minute walk is progress.” So I started walking for just two minutes a day. Over time, those 2 minutes grew to 150 minutes in one go. Long walks transformed my life—both mentally and physically.
I won’t claim to be at my ideal fitness level, but I’ve improved myself by 10x. I’ve stopped eating junk food, shifted to clean and healthy meals, and can now walk for 2 hours straight. I also maintain better personal hygiene and no longer struggle with chronic procrastination.
Currently, my journey is on pause due to a slipped disc, and I’m preparing for back surgery. But I’m determined to restart once I recover.
One thing I’ve learned is that even a million dollars won’t bring happiness if you’re not in good health. Hardcore gym routines or intense exercise aren’t necessary to start. Just 20 minutes of walking or 10 minutes of simple daily exercises can make a world of difference.
Wow! I really like this. Thanks, everyone, for sharing your stories and perspectives—especially you, @Hussey. I’ve always underestimated how important going to the gym or playing sports is. The physical results are just a bonus, but for mental health, it’s absolutely essential. You look amazing now, man—keep it up!
I never think weight can change life so much. Now, even small thing, like walking upstairs or playing outside, feel so hard. My body hurt, my energy gone, and I feel like I losing myself more every day.
But I don’t want to stay like this. I want to change. I want to feel strong again. I need a challenge to push me, to help me fight back and take my life back. This time, I won’t give up.
Men’s health is a topic that hits close to home for me.
I’ve seen how societal expectations can force men to bottle up emotions, ignore physical health, and brush aside mental struggles. It’s a toxic cycle that many of us, myself included, have battled to break free from.
Back in 2018, I hit rock bottom. I was carrying the weight of unspoken pain and struggled to find meaning. It wasn’t until I sought help—through therapy, physical fitness, and leaning on a few close friends—that I began to rebuild. It wasn’t easy, and the journey isn’t linear, but I’m grateful to be here today, healthier and stronger.
Here’s my advice for anyone struggling:
Reach out. It doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human.
Invest in yourself. A gym membership, a therapy session, or even a good haircut can be the first step toward feeling like yourself again.
Be that person for someone else. A simple check-in can mean the world to someone who feels invisible.
To the men reading this: You matter. Your health matters. Let’s normalize these conversations and create a space where asking for help isn’t stigmatized.
