the-last-hair-bender:

our culture really has a hard time with the concept of preventative care

‘oh, it’s not that bad’

‘suck it up, walk it off’

and it affects all areas of health care, we don’t take proper care of ourselves because if it’s not ‘that bad’, if we aren’t in crisis, then we are encouraged to not do anything about our health

and it’s not just economic reasons, men are supposed to be tough and women are not supposed to make a fuss

and that’s devastating, especially in mental health

and… I have no where else to go with this, so thanks for reading

I throughly enjoyed your Ted talk.
