☆ social media is ruining your life & mental health. here’s why. ☆

*for clarification, the footage at the beginning of this video is not mine. no copyright or misrepresentation is intended. i was inspired by these short films/interviews to create this podcast-style video. if the owners of these would like credit, please email me to discuss further. thank you*

Hey! Welcome to my channel! So I finally bought a new mic after my old one broke so the chatty podcast-style videos are back! I apologise that it has been so long but I hope you’re looking forward to future videos!

This video covers very sensitive and important topics. Please check the pinned comment for trigger warnings/when certain topics are mentioned.

I really hope you’re able to take something substantial away from this video and that it has helped you in some way. I don’t often speak up about my opinions as I feel there are many people on youtube who are much more qualified than me to cover these topics, however I think it’s important to be truthful and honest online and share my thoughts.

If you need support, please contact a friend, family member or a stranger on a mental health hotline if you feel more comfortable doing so.
