Creators Are Sharing The Ways Their Community Has Impacted Their Mental Health

The influence of social media on mental health has been an area of intense scrutiny and debate in recent years. While certain kinds of content and spaces have been linked to increased increased self-comparison, and subsequent risk of stress, anxiety, and depression, during Mental Health Awareness Month in May, several content creators posted videos with a different perspective, about the positive potential of online spaces and communities using the hashtag #mycommunity.

Many of these creators have been building their platforms for years, and several have shared that their own communities were not as open to discussions about mental health as their online communities were, which gave them space to heal and grow. Other creators shared that their online communities encouraged them to be more creative, expressive, which led to a new career or path.
