1 year clean and counting: Reel-life Spiderman words out mental health struggles

Tom Holland is a blockbuster Hollywood superstar, hardly 26 years old, and has already done 6 Marvel films!

Setting the pedestal with Captain America: Civil War, he blessed Hollywood Cinema with Spiderman: Homecoming and its sequels Far From Home and No Way Home. This alone crossed $1 billion worldwide!

However, this fast-paced, flash success took a toll on him that he couldn’t discuss in the open until recently. He posted a video on Instagram, descriptively speaking about how Instagram and Twitter are overstimulating and overwhelming. He’s been suffering mentally for the past 13-14 years. “I get caught up and I spiral when I read about myself online,” says Tom.

He has also mentioned ‘Stem 4’, a charity specially created for youngsters who struggle with mental health issues, seeking help. There are 4 apps under it, all free of cost.

In his caption, he says, “Please take the time to watch my video, and should you feel inclined to share it with anyone who it may resonate with – it would be greatly appreciated.”

In this age where everything is instant and quick, we forget the significance of ‘one step at a time’. Healing in specific is a very gradual, multi-directional process that is inconsistent, painfully long, and frustratingly slow. There’s nothing like ‘only going up’ in the mental-health world. Our mind scatters in all directions before it can learn to settle. It’s important to take our time and let our body and mind process the trauma as it wishes. Instead of going through it, let’s grow through it. And that, comes with acceptance, with respecting our needs.

Shoutout to Tom Holland for utilizing his 68 million-followers platform for a great cause like this. If you’re someone or you know someone who needs help, kindly reach out to the nearest mental health professionals.
