The storytelling that happens on-screen can inspire us to follow a new career path, travel the world, or even do something as small as trying out a new look.

And as conversations around mental health continue to become more prevalent in our culture, we're seeing more and more stories surrounding the topic show up on-screen, many of which are truly inspiring.

Maybe you watched Eighth Grade and thought, "Wow, I've never seen social anxiety portrayed like this before. I feel so seen!"

So, I'm coming to you, the BuzzFeed Community, asking for you to share the movies or TV episodes about mental health that made you feel seen, and maybe even inspired you to seek help. Sharing our experiences with others can not only be cathartic, but it might also inspire others to make the first steps in taking care of their own mental health.
