Colton Underwood Instagram – a note to my younger self. i’ve seen the adult and youth populations experience mental health challenges over the last two years, and I went through a major mental health crisis myself. i felt isolated, misunderstood, and scared. the support and conversations I needed to have needed to be in person, and that wasn’t an option. i had no healthy way of communicating my problems over the phone or via email/zoom. if I could go back, i would tell my younger self that the brain is very good at playing tricks on you. very rarely are you in a situation that is as extreme as your brain likes to play it out to be. i had so much anxiety as a kid and would always play out the worst-case scenarios in my head. whatever you are going through, you’re not alone. during the month of may i will be teaming up with @healthline to spreading awareness, resources and support for mental health.
