Hello.
I have been talking openly about my mental health on the Internet for years now.
Pretty much since I started putting content of myself out there on the Internet, I've been talking very openly about my mental health.
And I don't necessarily remember this being a conscious choice, to be honest.
I think it's just who I am by nature.
I've always been somebody who is just super open about these things.
I've never had much of an issue talking about my struggles.
It's kind of bizarre to me, actually, because I know that for many people, it's really uncomfortable to share, you know, their struggles with others.
But for me, for whatever reason, I've just always been super open about it, especially on the Internet, which you would think would be even more scary than in person.
But, oh, we have a kitty.
If you're watching the video, you can see a kitty.
I have been somewhat a part of the mental health conversation online since I started posting content online.
But the fact that I am involved has made me hyper aware of the conversation itself on a widespread scale, you know, and I think that the conversation around mental health is an incredible, incredible, incredible thing.
But being hyper aware of it and being a part of it has kind of caused me to analyze it, analyze the conversation as a whole.
What are people saying online in regards to mental health?
What advice are people sharing?
