  • 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?
