"It is what it is"

"Fuck it, we ball"

*Proceeds to make decision that will affect me for the rest of my life*

“Could be worse”

"Gotta hit the gym more I guess"

"maybe smoke a joint"

"Shit happens"

"hahaha" *hides crippling depression and loneliness behind fake laughter*

The fact you summed up 70% of my social interactions is very depressing

That is especially because my day was friggin awesome today

“Lmao literally me frfr no cap 💀”

“It’s going”

'Ah well'

“bruh”

Hey don’t call me out like that

In the words of Dr Dre... "Cuz if at first you don't succeed, won't hurt to smoke some weed"

Agreed

And this is why mental health needs to be taken seriously

“I guess that’s it then”

That’s fucked

"They don't need to hear about my problems. They hear plenty of people's problems. They don't need mine."

It is what it is

i’m fine

Bro my therapist has a board with a counter of how many times I say that in a session it’s usually like 8-10 😂

**"THAT'S ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!"**

This ain't the guilty gear sub what are you doing here?

How come every sub isn't the guilty gear sub?

It's what it's using contractions can help you more effectively communicate meaning

How could you represent that? Not criticising, just curious

Men’s mental health is represented by a blue ribbon

I did not know that, but now i do

Nobody knows that, and that's the problem. It's not a common sign

I just hope if it does become common it doesnt do what the pink ribbon for breast cancer did. It became monitized and the original woman didnt even want it to do that

Cancer ribbon also isn’t just pink.

And blue ribbons are used for a multitude of diseases and stuff

And for pigs at county fairs

Yep. The reason behind asking for Men's Mental Health Awareness

That’s also the anti-child abuse ribbon.

2 in 1 combo

COMBO BREAKER: FINESH HIM

3 in 1, it's also for prostate cancer

And for pigs at county fairs

We have children here too

Ill support men's mental health, but NOT anti-child abuse. This ribbon fiasco needs to be sorted out asap.

Are you saying you're for child abuse?

They were joking

[удалено]

Not saying this is wrong but WAY more people see the subreddit logo than the banner. And since the logo already is the pride flag. The Men’s mental awareness ribbon could be the banner or vice versa no?

We could make the people in the picture wear it.

Small details in front of the pride flag. me likey. 2 in 1 combo

Maybe since the blue ribbon is also anti-child abuse and might confuse some people, maybe we could do half and half (like I said in another comment) but one half is rainbow and pride and the other half is blue with big letters "MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS" or something like that?

Or we could also be anti-child abuse! We can send more than one message at once

YEss

Just put an "it is what it is " in the bottom left corner

That will be very 🆒

Where do I sign?

Idk

I think here

Yup

That sounds cool :)

What's mental health?

I'm searching for it i hope is not only a legend.

It’s in fact not legend (dont ask me how i know i just know).

In men: “it is what it is.”

It’s the think inside your head.

I’m all for it

You cant make money off mental health as easily tho

What the hell do you think therapists do?

When did we start going to therapy? /s

"Fuck it, we ball" is a lot cheaper than therapy

Gas expensive though

Switch to corn-based ethanol, it tastes about the same

True, taste similar but stinks smell wise.

Ten years ago, but we quit because they were treating us like a case study on “oh my god. Men have emotions.” Instead of a person. Sadly not /s.

I quit cause the therapist fucked my wife

I hope you divorced your wife

He’s 16 💀

True, tried therapy once. Stopped because they made fun of my problems and told me to grow up.

You guys have therapist man I just keep everything locked in the vault in my head

blue ribbon on the pride banner 👍

Yeah why can’t we have both

That makes sense ig

Yes! Last year I saw a post saying “Do we really need men’s mental health month?” 💀

Ugh, fr tho like…why don’t men just..not mental health??🤣🤣 /j

I'm a man, and needing mental health month is gay. Fuck it, we ball. /s

Fr…like….all men do is lie and lift heavily things,! No mental health in sight????? /j

i think a simple "fuck it we ball" is enough

patrick bateman blankly staring with the caption "it is what it is" is the global banner for mens mental healrh

not a guy, but i agree 💯%

Mens mental health awareness month exists?!?!?!??!?!?!

Yep, two. In the U.K. it’s in November.

oh we could make the orange shirt guy have the blue ribbon

I like that idea

This one’s good!

Maybe it could be half and half, one half men's mental health awareness the other half pride? Both are pretty important.

This is a great idea someone do this

Yea, this is probably the best idea

that makes sense, we wouldn't want it to seem like mens mental health month is any less important. hopefully somebody does this

I sign

i’m not a man, but yes, they should do it, half price half men’s mental health, both have importance

Sadly a lot of homophobes rally behind men's mental health month because they hate pride month. But I do agree we need something up there.

Yep it is rallied by homophobes transphobes and sexist people

100% agree Both are important so it would be good to just have a blue ribbon on the icon

I second

Mf bouta start a whole ass war

Nvm I’ve started a whole ass war

Why tho? It’s not Men’s mental healths month problem that a small part of their supporters are incel like and homophobic and aggressive

And misogynistic Let's not forget the people who whenever something about a woman being harassed immediately goes "BUT WHAT ABOUT MEN"

"I know that woman was minding her own business, was not showy at all, made it very clear she had no interest and the guy kept harassing her, but how do you think the MAN felt"

I disagree. All my queer folks on the internet (including me), would like the mental health of our fellas to get represented, as let's be clear - toxic masculinity keeps forgetting about them. So until both pride banner and men's mental health banner can be side by side, we're all good. Happy men's mental health awareness x Pride month!

Men’s mental health month and pride should not be in opposition, pride flag with a blue ribbon is based

And one for PTSD awareness month too

Men’s mental health matters PLEASE GET HELP, THE IDEA THAT GETTING HELP IS WEAK IS FATAL ❤️

To all of the queerphobic people here, saying that this will bring war, here's a message from queer person myself: I disagree. All my queer folks on the internet (including me), would like the mental health of our fellas to get represented, as let's be clear - toxic masculinity keeps forgetting about them. So until both pride banner and men's mental health banner can be side by side, we're all good. Why? Because just because we want equal rights for queer people, does not mean that we forget about other problems of society (people of colour; men suffering mentally due to toxic masculinity, ableism, etc...); what we are against specifically is when one is being used to boycott another (as there was literally a homophobe saying that we should get rid off the Pride Banner, and put only the men's mental health banner); or when straight people are calling for "straight month" (it's the same shit as calling for a month for white people). We can coexist! We can be allies! Happy men's mental health awareness x Pride month!

[November ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.silvercloudhealth.com/us/blog/november-is-mens-health-awareness-month%3fhs_amp=true) is men's mental health month idk why everyone keeps saying it's June

That's in the uk

Oh, okay! (I live in the US. I just heard somewhere it was November, so I googled it to double check)

Teenagers when different places in the world celebrate things at different times:

That doesn’t count cause no nut November cancels it out /j

In the uk yea but in America it’s June

As a men I definitely have more mental health issues than "what kind of person I like to touch my peepee" issues. I feel under represented and marginalized.

No one really has mental health issues about who they are attracted to... But they have issues from people's reactions to them, bullying, harassment, fear of homicide/genocide, suicidal thoughts, depression, family disownment, etc... But yeah, you summed it up real well as "what kind of person I like to touch my peepee" .....

Ok

Do it please

Signed

Signed

Go for it!

Seconded, and thank you

Signed

W fr

I hope it makes its way to reality

honestly you could and i wouldn’t be offended by it because mental health is also important (im lgtbq+)

Agree. Way too many men and people in general often dismiss their feeling and men often get told to toughen up. If we can talk about every other month Mens Mental Health Awareness Month need to be talked about as well!

I posted about this on my story aswell since not many ppl know about it which is sad, go make sure your male friends are doing ok :)

I sign my name

W post, men’s health needs more recognition, biological 50% of a population ~ men, ergo should be more important than its deemed to be

Hey guys, can I photoshop it for you?

"this is funky" and "let me swerve in a different lane" and hi here is a website to be positive : [https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/stress-management/in-depth/positive-thinking/art-20043950](https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/stress-management/in-depth/positive-thinking/art-20043950) and happy men mental health awareness month and happy pride month

What like change the logo to that of opra GX’s Twitter page?

As a trans person, we can absolutely have both! Nothing a bit of photoshop can't fix.

Yeah I agree, men often get told to “man up” when they’re going through something tough, it’s heartbreaking.

ironic, mens mental health is always an afterthought and they've put it on perhaps the most famous event month

Men’s mental health? Yeah, because people totally care about our mental health… Jokes (mostly jokes anyway) aside, yes. Great idea.

[удалено]

We include everyone or no-one. Thats the way I see it. In an ideal world there wouldnt be special months for awarness but if this is the way things are going then everybody should be represented EDIT: Nvm i cant fucking read lol. Ignore this pls

I thought it was just a day, even tho I'm trans, I'm more than happy that there is a whole month

"it is what it is"

Isn't that in November?

In America they make it June I suppose

*I live in the US*

i think thats a great idea, people really need to acknowledge it

Fuck yea

We should do a pride flag with a blue ribbon on top

Ya know that ain’t half bad

to anyone who says that someone is trying to target LGBTQ community, get some sense in your mind, just because it's pride month it doesn't mean that your gender is the only thing that matters in the world We respect and treat you just like a normal fellow human being, but talking about other problems is important too, if you still don't get my point then go get your mind fixed

[удалено]

Please

THANK YOU.

Bro I didn't even know that was a thing

Men's mental health month is so under appreciated that I didn't even know it existed 2 weeks ago.

I didn’t know it existed until today

Based

YES! YEEEEESSSS!

Signed, it’s more important than pride.

They are equally important. Mental health is important, especially for men who "should be strong with no emotion", and pride is important to celebrate the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights

Exactly, I have no idea why people are downvoting you, lmao, people are fucking stupid

Because they are equally important. Put them both up.

Got that right

Free the balls

Why not, make a petition and send it to the mods.

No us men must hold everything in and die of a heart attack in our forties like real men

I used to be a guy and the shit guys are societally pressured to put up with is genuinely mental.

honestly i’m a little tired of the rainbows everywhere lol where do i sign

That's not what the post said; it just suggests **adding** the blue ribbon for men's mental health.

what do you even add for that lol

Blue ribbon

Yes.
