sadly true....
We have to break that sigma of, If I talk about how I feel, I am weak/less of a man.
And as a mate, we need to read what our mates are going through.
Eg, I asked both my FSA captain & deputy, Every time we get together, either at a meeting, a training event or just socially, you guys ask 'How are ya big fella'
It is a genuine question, you want to know How I am?
They both replied, It is our responsibility to ensure you are the best that you can be, If we have a call out, we need to know that you are right to attend an incident, if you are not, you could cause dramas, do something wrong which could be fatal.
And if we feel you are struggling, we will help you, we are here to help.
Knowing I can go to these guys if I'm not 100%, that in it's self helps me.
Talk to someone,
You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.
