Hi everyone,

Our buzz feed post has done really well so far and it gave me an idea to get the word out there even more. If you're not sure what BF is then have a look round and you'll see a ton of 'top 10...' '23 of this' or '18 of that'. They're filled with pictures, gifs, quotes, urls and lots of interactive content, which is why the website is viewed millions and millions of times a day. They're also easy to share, comment on and enjoy, without being too wordy or formal.

So, this brings me onto the idea; How would you like your own mental health related Buzz Feed article? Over the next few weeks we're going to be putting up lots of different articles on mental health and would love your input. You can write one yourself for us to upload or you can just be part of one of our joint efforts.

I ideally want to get a myth buster Monday post up, with 'X number of mental health myths' and why they're a load of rubbish! So, to get your opinion on our first one, simply reply with your most hated MH myth. You can even add in a statistic to show why it's not true or an image to go with it, if you like.

If you want to create your own BF for MiLO then let me know and I can explain how it works and we'll get yours on ASAP.

Thanks everyone - looking forward to your responses!

If you take a look at the one we did earlier:
www.buzzfeed.com/mindslikeours/10-reasons-why-world-mental-health-day-should-be-e-fmmu

The next one we are going to do will be on 'mental health myths' so if you wanted to submit some myths you hate then that would be cool. If you want to make your own then you need to think of a topic and we can work on it together. Hope that helps!

Absolutely infuriating.
