Krithika Raj – Head of Social Media

You are so much more than all the intrusive things your brain leads you to believe. You are a force of nature anyway, you might as well believe it.

Hello! I’m Krithika. I am an engineering graduate. I try to write and embroider in my free time.

When I was a kid, I often thought I could feel the earth rotate because I used to feel my head spinning. I understood that was an anxiety attack I was experiencing when I grew up and learned about it. It only amplified when I lost my best friend to suicide. I knew mental health was very important and not talked about enough, but after that incident, I couldn’t just stand back and watch. So, I educated myself by doing a lot of research and by opening up to people. Through Patronus, I want to actively participate in changing the narrative around mental health, one post at a time. I want it to serve as a warm hug and provide comfort, and let people know they’re not alone in their struggles.

 Being a part of Patronus, for me, is creating a safe space for people to learn to love and be themselves without any apprehensions.
