Annabelle - In My World

“When people initially think of mental illness, they don’t normally think of sleeping, or insomnia as a particular difficult problem. …the problem with awareness of insomnia is that it gets overlooked.” Annabelle lives with insomnia, often sleeping just four or five hours a night.

Annabelle shared their story with It Gets Brighter, a campaign to support young people who are experiencing mental health issues by sharing video messages of hope and support. To see the full video and to share your experience of the covid-19 pandemic, visit itgetsbrighter.org
