In 2015 I suffered my first nervous breakdown at age 24. I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, placed on medication and attended CBT. At the beginning of 2022 I suffered another breakdown, and thanks to my boss asking me twice one morning if I was ok, I unloaded how I felt, he encouraged me to call the doctors and I got the help I needed.

I’d always gamed casually during my life, but during my recovery I found myself gaming more and achieving platinum trophies as something to focus on. I wanted to share my achievements so started the Instagram page Adriennes_Revenge, which quickly grew and I begun sharing in game photography I’d taken, collectibles and more!

At the end of the year I took the plunge to start streaming and now with approximately 4500 followers on Instagram and 600 followers on Twitch, I want to give back to the community who have supported me so much and give to a charity that is truly close to my heart.

Let's show everyone with a mental health problem that they are not alone. Stand with us and fight for mental health by joining my charity stream for Mind.

The money we raise will make a real difference for those of us with a mental health problem.
