#BellLetsTalk day is a very important day in my life, and for the past 2 years I have made sure to make a post telling all of you the importance of talking about mental health. The only problematic thing about this day, is it is one day of the year and the conversations we have need to happen year-round. Hypocritically, I have spoken about educating yourself and others about the important of mental health, and being open with others about what your going through, and I haven’t done so myself. If you’re close with me, you’ll know that I struggle with anxiety. I keep going back and forth deciding if I want to state this for everyone to read, so if you see this I guess I got the courage to do so. I don’t want to be stigmatized or “labelled” for this, because regardless I push through every day. Some days are better than others. Some days I am not even bothered by the overthinking, some days it is so overpowering that I spiral into an unnecessary funk. Recently I have also struggled with body image issues, and an extreme lack of motivation and drive for what I am working towards in my life. I am usually a very enthusiastic, goofy and driven person so not feeling like that, has been extremely hard to accept. I am not telling you all of this for you to feel bad for me or anything, by any means. My point here is that I only post the highlights of my life, much like everyone else. My aim here is to let you know that none of you are alone. Some of know what I have said above, some of you that is news to you. As I have said before, everyone has their own battles and you can’t tell from “judging” them on the outside. Please be kind to others, show love and care. Reach out. Eliminate your judgement. Take care of yourself. Breathe. Keep going. Push yourself. You can do this. You are not alone. Never ever forget to “Stay Strong (because) You Are A Warr;or.” Much love to you all. 💖Thank you to all of those who help keep me strong, you do not go unnoticed ❤️💙 #BellLetsTalkDay #BellLetsTalkDay2019 #StayStrong #semicolontattoo #semicolonproject #youdoyou #arrow #mareathonermerch https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRdrR3nXBDePdwAnFv3e_LAhg4wRKrGO1AasQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pmo19s25a5zx
