I witnessed a ride and gathering today bringing Attention to Suicide and Men's Health Issues..
A global classic styled motorcycle event that raises money for prostate cancer research and suicide prevention.
This video show's the entrance of the Distinguished Men and their partners to the gathering.
This is part of World Wide exhibition of concerned men and women about the issue of men's health.
Considering the size of our community here, it showed an amazing amount of support for the aims of the gathering.
Many of us in our communities do not realise how the rapid changes are affecting all of us, and we tend to hide our own feelings and thoughts and put on a brave face on our social media, and to our friends and family, keeping it all in.
It's not about sympathy !!... it's about understanding !! ..
The health of our Fathers, our brothers, our friends, partners, and our son's needs us ...
As it affects the health of our Mother's, our sisters, our friends, partners and daughters also..
Recently I was speaking to a friend in a rural community in Australia.
She told me that 13 men in her community had recently committed suicide...
I can only imagine how that affected the many lives, that those men were involved with in their communities and families.
I am also aware of ladies who also felt the burden of life was too great and also committed suicide..
And it's not about taking responsibility for these outcomes, as we all have our own struggles as well, but it is about awareness and compassion for others and helping find a better way to build a community.
I personally feel, we ARE up to the task, and we can create that community, but we have to be aware of the things that are against us.
In discussions with many friends and looking to the future that we are fed by the Mainstream and Social media, people seem to consider that the future is bleak, and that we should hide out and protect ourselves.
But I consider just the opposite.., I consider that future is potentially amazing, as we start to realise our power as a Planetary community.
Bringing together the Ancient Wisdoms with modern science, we now realise that everything we do, say, think and "Be" affects everything and everybody around us. And we are evolving into Planetary community..
The combined power of a large group of people creating community every time we take an action or have a thought, taps into and magnifies that power..
It's like lighting a candle in a dark room, a tiny candle can illuminate the entire room, however a a tiny bit of dark has no hope of darkening a light room...
So, that's what we are here to do at @quantummonks, help others light their candles..
Together we are unstoppable, individually we will be blown away ..

Thankfully our Steemit community is here because they see it as a place to create the change we all realise is possible.
Be assured our thoughts are with you, and hopefully every time you post, you will be sending out great vibes to all the brothers and sisters who are feeling alone and uncared for.
Love this effort. We must rally behind the ill, both mentally and physically... not leave them behind. Resteemed
Thank you @zacharius, it certainly is worth the effort. As what happens to others also reflects back onto us. Thanks for the vote and resteem. ))
People need to be more aware and look for changes in a person. I have depression, my hubby knows the signs. Its a sad situation :(
I have been researching both ADHD and depression for a while and herbs that would help, as all medicines come initially from herbs. I usually google the condition or "medicine" and with the word "herbs" and see what comes up. Its best if the herb is not just the "active ingredient" extract, but has other plant material which acts in synergy. And the fresher the better, there are cheap products that say herb, but can be just stems and no active parts of the plant. You may find them growing near you even. I will start posting my research soon, but I have a lot of info coming from ancient wisdom that i also want to post .. not fast at writing though.. ))
Great I'll keep a eye out for them :)
