About My Challenge
Mental health is something that affects so many people, whether it’s ourselves or someone close to us. In the society we’re exposed to every day, it’s easy to get caught up in overthinking and feelings that can be hard to deal with and even harder to talk about. I know myself when things seem easier bottled up and kept inside but it’s not healthy and it should never have to be the case.
Social media has a direct impact on everyone and their mental health. It can form anxiety and overthinking between relationships or depression and loneliness through the things we wish we had or may look like compared to others. Positively, it allows us to have a platform where we can express ourselves, support others and feel connected. In this case to start a conversation and raise awareness for a cause so meaningful but problematic in our world today.
To help raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia, Ive set a goal to raise $2,000 and I’ll be participating in the Push Up Challenge by completing 3,307 push-ups which is the number of lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2024. I will be taking part in this over 24 days from the 3rd of June to the 26th.
Whether you have the ability to do so yourself or simply just start a conversation about mental health, I urge you to do so. You never know who might need that message, call or comfort.
