READERS’ PICKS

The last two years have not been easy.  As a sense of normalcy begins to emerge in some countries, the return to pre-pandemic life seems like a distant memory.  Social media has been a place where many of us have sought refuge during this period. The increase in social interactions on these digital platforms has been known to help reduce anxiety and depression even though it can equally be a psychological maze at times. 

 

Over the years, social media has grown to be a great tool in raising awareness on mental health with various free resources and informative accounts. To commemorate World Mental Health Awareness Day, we have curated a list of 14 supportive mental health Instagram accounts to follow as a woman, helping you navigate bouts of anxiety, depression, frustration, loneliness and just several feel-good accounts that help support you and your mental state into one of positivity, self-love and self-acceptance

 

1. @wetheurban

 

First up - We The Urban. 

 

Black-owned, celebrating inclusivity, self-love, & marginalized voices


This Black-owned digital platform celebrates inclusivity, self-love, and offers a platform celebrating Black, Indigenous,  People of Colour (BIPOC) and marginalised voices. Founder Willie Green's mission was to destigmatize mental health within the BIPOC communities and to empower people from the Black community who have long been shunned to better address mental health issues .

 

 

 

2. @dearmyanxiety

 

Next - Dear My Anxiety. As self-explanatory as its name, Dear My Anxiety is an account dedicated to addressing the many challenges that anxiety can cause to our everyday life and tips on how we can better manage these bouts of anxiety. An account that can really help you get out of your head.

 

 

      
 

3. @selfcarevisuals

 

The account serves bright, bold and visually stimulating posts about mental health issues, self-care and  all round great positivity. It also free wallpapers you can use for morning affirmations.

 

    

 

 4. @igototherap

 

We really love this account as it opens one's eyes to what it really means to go to therapy as well as debunking a lot of my misconceptions surrounding mental health issues.
