# My Top 10 Favourite Mental Health Instagram Accounts (in no particular order!)

@makedaisychains

A UK based artist and mental health advocate who started the hashtag #boringselfcare.  She realised that selfcare has become a buzzword which can mean different things to different people. However for those suffering from depression and anxiety it is so difficult to do even the most mundane, simple tasks.  Sometimes we need reminding that these small steps could lead us back to the path of wellness.  https://www.instagram.com/makedaisychains/

@introvertdoodles

Marzi is an author and artist who seems to get it when it comes to mental health.  Her illustrations show what it’s like in someone’s head when suffering from anxiety.  And, she offers gentle reminders to take small steps towards wellness.  So, you’ll particularly love it if you experience life as an introvert!  https://www.instagram.com/introvertdoodles/
