Mental health and suicide prevention

I have continuously had a beard for at least the last 10 years, at varying lengths and bushiness.

I suffer from several health issues, including Psoriasis, which mainly affects my face and scalp. This was the main reason for me growing a beard when my facial hair journey began. This affects my skin, causing red blotches, very sensitive skin and flaky dandruff-like skin falling off me all the time.
I found that shaving made this much worse, so growing the beard helps not aggravate the skin on my face and also helps to cover up the flaky skin on my cheeks and chin.

I have also suffered from mental health issues, and have found talking about it very helpful and would encourage anyone facing personal issues to speak up in whichever form suits you best. Nobody should suffer alone.

How I'm
getting involved
At the end of November, the entire beard comes off - proper clean shaven. I have continuously had a beard for at least the last 10 years, at varying lengths and bushiness.
