Being a blogger is hard. Being a human being is hard. I absolutely love when influencers open up about what goes on behind the camera and off the gram. Mental health is such a prevalent epidemic right now, and it’s so critical that mental health bloggers share their stories and support others by sharing their journey. Because, you should know, you are not alone. So, I have rounded up the best mental health influencers and best bloggers with anxiety disorders and depression. These influencers share the struggles, the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

“I realized that many people who deal with Mental Illnesses aren’t willing to talk about it. There’s this stigma that if you deal with a mental health illness, you’re broken and no one will understand you. I want to be that person to tell you that I DO understand you and you are not alone. I am here to speak up for you and tell your story for you.” – Mireya Lopez

The next blogger with anxiety suffers from mental health disorders is myself, @soniabegoniablog. While my feed is full of fashion, lifestyle, and beauty, I make sure to dedicate several posts per month to discuss my mental health. I suffer from general anxiety disorder and panic disorder. You can read my full story here.
“For those of you who roll their eyes at the thought of someone feeling “anxious” – know that anxiety IS real and it can paralyze you. I hope this story is relatable to those of you who have been temporarily debilitated by an anxiety disorder. I want you to know that there is hope – you are not alone. Do not be afraid of the stigma that comes along with any mental illness – speak up and share your story! Get medicated if you must. We share our struggles and successes from physical diseases, but when it comes to mental health, the fear of embarrassment hinders any opportunity for inspiration, community, and hope.” – Sonia Begonia
Best Influencers with Depression

Sofia is one of my close friends! She is a mental health blogger and influencer with depression who lives in my hometown! She is such an inspiration to all mental health activists, as she openly battles with depression.

“I just want you to know that behind pretty photos and uplifting content, there is a woman who is exhausted, terrified, and ashamed – but she is also strong, courageous, and open. These things can co-exist within me and they co-exist within you too.” – Sofia

“People with ‘high functioning depression’ dress well, put make-up on everyday, may meet you out for happy hour and laugh at your jokes but silently, they’re suffering. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, check on your friends and family. You never know what demons they may be fighting alone.” – Bekah

As a blogger with bipolar disorder, she shares her story through her novel, the ‘Truth About Broken: The Unfixed Version of Self-Love’.

“Don’t stay back 100 ft.; do not ignorance keep you from becoming curious about people who are unfamiliar to you. Chose to walk in faith over fear and talk to real people, have real conversations. To every person with mental illness, you are seen, loved, heard. We will work every day to make sure you can live the life that is your birthright.” – Hannah
