Heres my story: 

My name is Kevin and Hopefully this story will help someone out one day.

Moving to the UK at the age of 10 with my Mum was the hardest thing I have had to handle in life. Leaving friends and family behind to a new start that we have no idea where it will end up. Throughout my time in UK i was heavily bullied for my looks and my accent coming home everyday crying to my mum saying I want to go back home why did you bring me here. That alone takes a massive hit on a man because you always feel alone. Fast forward 10 years February 2021 I went through the toughest days of my life, im sure lots of other people did too because of Covid. I just didn’t see the point in life anymore i felt like i was unlovable and wanted to end it all and sometimes you cant speak to your mates I know, but I thought If do this I will tear apart my family especially my Mum. This is where I asked for help and spoke to someone to listen to my issues. You will not believe me when I tell you after speaking to Him i felt a weight off my shoulders it was amazing. At first I was like any other men and said ahh nah I dont need to speak to anyone Im a man and I can ride it out. Here I am writing this story and doing a hike with a few other lads hoping if you need help please Ring ‘Mind’ they are there to listen. MEN NEED TO TALK
