It seems more and black men are committing suicide or are prone to depression or mental illness in the UK. It may be because they have stereo-type to uphold or put on them by media and peers generally that they have to be a strong black man face anything view that is thrown at them from ugly racism from school to work place to baby mamas and wives and nagging women. I think people in the mental health sector overlook their problems view it as drug related and slip through the net from getting any help whats over and in the worst scenario end up committing suicide. The continual police harassment does not help either and may trigger a feeling of worthlessness and depression. The thing is more young black guys should be aware that suicide is happening in their community and if they know a particular person is down they should be willing to open up and ask for help and not care if its a sign of weakness as the problem will get bigger and bigger. If poor Joe blogs killed him selve most youths would say oh he hanged himself then the conversation would not continue as feelings of guilt kicks in as they could have spoke to the person and asked him if he was ok. The worst part of it all is most people that commit suicide are the loud sociable characters who put on a front to the world how happy they are, but really are dying inside. But it makes you wonder what the signs are? Some people are really good at hiding their feelings so you will never know. There is a saying the crazy man who talks to himself is not really crazy after all hes letting it out, the craziest people are the ones who keep it inside and the words ringing round their head and putting on happy face. Most men are trained to retain their emotions especially Ethiopian/Eritrean men which I will go in more detail in the next paragraph. All those emotions in one person can not be healthy and must act like a pressure cooker. Men need to open up and cry if they must damn just let it out. Its sad that in this day and age they are conditioned to wear the same clothes date the same type of woman and act macho by slaying a few slow runners from another area.
Habesha Men
It is becoming more and more common for most Habesha men killing themselves in western countries its absolutely shocking. Now most Abesha men are brought up to be successful and put up with a whole lot of crap from society. Generally the way we are raised is different and there is no such thing as mental illness its associated with the devil. These young men have no one to turn to they are not familiar with the mental health service and do not even themselves that that they need help so refuse to get help. Too many young men are giving up and killing themselves. Abesha men work hard in the work force and employers know this and exploit them due to their culture and are less willing to complain and put up with a lot of crap especially work bullying. This can be a factor if the young man does not have a family in the UK and is supporting his family abroad who he sends money regularly. The pressure could be too much for them to handle again they bear it and carry on someone should tell them they need to take time out and look after their needs. Relationships could also be daunting them, demanding in laws and the wife who is rather concerned about helping her relatives than realise if her husband is not ok. What is also terrible is after the poor an kills himself how the family sweep it under the carpet and keep a hush hush how he died.
I think in both situations these poor young guys should be given some sort of information that there will be people out there who will make your life hell either in the work place or generally the lack of care from people but generally in most cities that is how it is. These people must be willing to seek help complain moan if they have to get heard. Don't keep it all in and face anxiety, there is nothing worse. Whatever is bothering them they should feel happy to let someone know who knows your close friend may also be going through it but is too busy putting on a front like a clown.
