MyMentalMe Mental health
Mental health affects us all. As queer people in particular, we often face additional pressure. You are not alone in these experiences.
You have had these experiences not alone
Whether it’s coming out, societal expectations, discrimination or the feeling of not belonging — these things can take their toll. Doubts about one’s own body, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or bouts of depression are a reality for many.
With #MyMentalMe Here you’ll find information, personal stories and practical tips on mental health, stress and psychological strain.
