    This is spot on! All these influencers who talk about how bad their depression and anxiety is are full of it. If you are actually severely depressed or have anxiety disorders you are not gonna be filming yourself or taking photos all day everyday.

    No less than 10 people have asked about the handle of the first influencer. My disappointing news is that I will be the 11th.
