Comedians Jen Kirkman, Jordan Carlos and Dave Chawner share advice with their younger selves in candid, new videos for The Child Mind Institute’s #MyYoungerSelf mental health awareness campaign.

Jen Kirkman (pictured) shares advice on panic disorders with her younger self: “I promise you, your feelings are not facts. You cannot die from a panic attack. No matter how many people tell you that you can't die from one, I know you're still going to think, “I'll be the first to die from it.” You won't.” 

Jordan Carlos shares advice on depression with his younger self: “I've struggled with depression probably starting around my teenage years, and well into my 20s and I just negotiate it now, basically. And if I could tell anything to my younger self, it's that what works is patience with yourself.” 

Dave Chawner shares advice on with anorexia his younger self: “I'd tell my younger self to ask themselves, "What is good mental health for you? What do you feel like when you are mentally healthy? What do you do to get to that place?”

 Every day this May, a different celebrity is sharing an inspiring, homemade phone video, speaking to their younger self – and to kids struggling today – about overcoming a mental health or learning disorder. The Child Mind Institute’s #MyYoungerSelf campaign is focused on ending the stigma attached to mental health and learning disorders, and encouraging every young person to get the help they need and deserve.
