I was part of a campaign called 'Outside View' to generate awareness about men's mental health and pathways to therapy for the BACP. It's really wonderful to be a part of something meaningful. You can view our short film here: outside-view.co.uk #mensmentalhealth #southasianmentalhealth

Being in your 30’s realising that most of the good stuff in life is simple and something you probably experienced before. Just that you were too emotionally immature to appreciate it at the time.

It’s so amazing to see Jhalak reach 10 years!

How do I connect with like minded folks?

I am back on BlueSky!!! I tried all other social platforms and I miss a Twitter format based social media.

Wrote an article entitled: “Therapy, Masculinity, and Me: A Personal Reckoning.” In this post I reflect on my experience as a man in therapy since October 2023, what it’s taught me, what it’s cost, and how it’s helping me rebuild my sense of self. Link: taimourahmed.substack.com/p/therapy-ma...

Therapy, Masculinity, and Me: A Personal Journey

A journey into the mess, the growth, and everything I was never taught to talk about.

Just published a new piece on emotional processing & what it means for men—especially those taught to keep the peace instead of feel. It’s personal, reflective, & rooted in lived experience. Would love for you to read & share: 🔗 substack.com/@taimourahmed #MensMentalHealth

Just a honest writer trying to stay relevant after hitting it big in his early 20’s. Mainly exploring masculinity, mental health & lived experience.

I struggle by keeping up with Twitter or other social media platforms and I'm actively building my Instagram for more commentary on mental health, masculinity & plant pictures! If you want to follow, you can here: instagram.com/taimour.ahm/

Forgot to share on here but sadly I developed an infection while here in the work which meant I needed emergency surgery on Wednesday - it’s very unexpected and anxiety inducing. I’m grateful to be on the mend and if this has taught me anything, it’s that health is truly your wealth.

Had a wonderful morning delivering our men’s peer support program down under in Melbourne, Australia! It’s amazing to continue scaling our curriculum on an international scale 🌼 So grateful for our partners, Taraki and the men who attend our program!

Lisbon had some beautiful sunset yesterday 🌅

I really enjoy the show #alphamales but this season feels so rushed, to the point where moments of personal growth for characters feel brushed over.

Taimour Ahmed @taimour.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

I had a wonderful weekend delivering the first peer support space & hosting our celebration dinner for Taraki 🌺 We’ve been working with our cohort for the past 5 months and I’m so proud to be developing our peer support network!

Since I got signed as a model all I do are test shoots and share them for my mum to be happy.

Taimour Ahmed @taimour.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I was on this wonderful podcast discussing my work in mental health, masculinity & South Asian communities! A big focus of the podcast was on our work at Taraki and how we're developing our peer support movement! You can watch the full ep here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pys0...

A thought always crosses my mind then I forget to tweet it, or Bluesky it….

I’m so social media fatigued, it’s unreal.

Taimour Ahmed @taimour.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

There are way too many podcast in the world.

I’m so wiped out from the seasonal cold 🥶

Someone took an out of focus shot of me at footy today, much like my shooting game.

I got the dates wrong; she meant January the 6th 😅

Taimour Ahmed @taimour.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

I saw someone upload on Linkedin that they were 'both humbled and excited' about something. I have to admit what a mixture of emotions that must be....

Taimour Ahmed @taimour.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Beautiful sunset in Lisbon today ❤️

Does anyone want to be Instagram friends also?

I’m seeing my therapist this week, I can’t wait to give her the gossip.

Gladiator 2 is basically gladiator 1 but it features very likeable men.

Not quite threads, not quite Twitter but going well so far this whole blue sky gig.

It's crazy to think but some of you have known me since I was 19 (through Media Diversified), and now I am 33. I have grown up online, in the most visible way.

This month marks my 5-year journey with Taraki, from someone who started attending their peer support spaces as a user to now as the Project Lead who has spent the last 3 years growing their peer support model internationally. To honour my journey I wrote this blog: amhp.org.uk/the-value-of...

The Value of Culturally Competent Peer Support

Taimour Ahmed, Project Lead for Taraki, wrote a guest blog on the value of culturally competent peer support for Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month.

I signed as a model here in Lisbon in September and I can tell you, this industry is mad racist.

Why are people saying “Hello new followers” on blue sky? Isn’t this just a family reunion of people seeking refuge from X? It’s like working in your local Wilko when it’s turned into B&M, but with the same team and you walk in on the day it reopens and pretend you don’t know anyone.

God I’ve missed telling random strangers on the internet about my day and feelings.

I'm gonna rinse this whole 'I was the first to Bluesky' chat this weekend.

Taimour Ahmed @taimour.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

I miss 2013 Twitter, where I got to know so many people from around the world. Hoping Bluesky emulates that again!

Side quest: I had a photoshoot here in Lisbon, with a really wonderful photographer to develop my modelling portfolio for my agency. Really happy with how it's turned out.

Really appreciate how my Bluesky is growing!

I'm taking a 2011 approach to Bluesky and following all mutual folks to just learn, chat and share work.

Hello Bluesky, it's your favourite medium hot-take boy.
