Mental Health Advocate on TikTok
If you’re a TikTok fan, you have probably seen or heard about Elyse Myers. She’s an Omaha-based web designer and singer with a few million followers. But she’s also a writer and a mother. As a content creator, she uses TikTok to address mental health issues like ADHD and depression, which are increasing in number and severity.
She’s also got some pretty wacky stories. One time, she spilled popcorn butter on her expensive pants while walking back to the hotel. She even ripped holes in her legs. Another time, she walked away from a possible murderer.
Elyse Myers is a 28-year-old who has found a way to use her platform to help others and spread awareness about mental health. The comedian and singer has over four million followers on TikTok, and a couple million followers on Instagram. And she’s got a new book in the works. Aside from her work as a comedian, singer, writer, and social media personality, she has been recognized as a mental health advocate.
On TikTok, Myers has racked up millions of views and followers on a single video. Her “Worst Date Ever” sparked controversy. Ultimately, the video went viral, but Myers’ story doesn’t end there.
In addition to a successful YouTube channel, Myers is now a writer, web designer, and entrepreneur. Previously, she was a web developer. Currently, she’s working on her first novel, and she’s pursuing a career as a podcaster. She has also recently signed with a record label.
While Myers is a big proponent of mental health, she’s also been known to have some cringe-worthy moments. In one video, she tells a very funny story, but it’s actually a bit cheesy.
In the middle of her most popular TikTok video, Elyse Myers asks her fans to share a story with her. This sparked the biggest conversation ever on the platform, and has led to several celebrities sharing their own stories. At the same time, Myers has taken the opportunity to make a very positive message about respect and taking medication for mental illness.
Although she’s a talented writer and comedian, Myers hasn’t always been happy with her life. She moved around a lot growing up, and she said she never felt like she fit in. That is until she met a man on a dating app. Now, she’s living in Nebraska with her husband and son. Still, she says she never really wanted fame.
While she hasn’t quite achieved the cult following that she’s hoping for, she has made a significant impact on the world through her content. While she’s not the only creator on TikTok to use the platform as a means of spreading awareness about mental health, she’s the best known.
She has a knack for the “coffee talk” – videos that are meant to be funny, but have a more meaningful message. She’s been called the most determined woman on TikTok, and she’s worked hard to be the kind of role model and mentor that people can look to when they’re struggling.
