I wanted to make a gif about this topic because it is one that can affect anyone at any stage of their life. While researching for this project I came across a video by the British Forces Broadcasting forces. I also looked at some statistics regarding this subject. Mind, a mental health charity have published reports that 1 in 4 people experience a mental health problem each year. Considering these statistics it is astonishing that there is still a stigma surrounding mental health. I wanted to make a gif that addresses the problem of 'bottling things up' and what will happen if you keep doing this. I decided to do this using a wine bottle as alcohol is one of the things people turn to when they are struggling to cope. I originally just had the bottle getting bigger and bursting, then I thought about having some liquid pouring into the bottle to show it filling up. However I did not feel that these ideas portrayed my message accurately. In the end I decided to add in pieces of paper showing some of the emotions that people bottle up.

Hello! I absolutely love the gif that you used in this post. I was wondering if I could use it in an article I've written for Her Campus UCF? It's online magazine that writes articles for college women by college women. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! If I have your written approval, I will be able to use it.
