After opening up about her mental health on Instagram, the influencer was overwhelmed by the response. Here she opens up about her daily struggle.
‘You might look at me and think ‘she’s got her life together’… 42, married, have two kids, a great career and a mortgage-free life. On paper everything’s perfect, right? Well, that’s far from the truth.
My social media makes me look like I have all the answers and despite the fact it helps people it’s also a way for me to manage my anxiety and overthinking. It gives me a sense of control. Remember, social media can be deceiving. It’s a square, a 15 second story. It shows a snapshot of a day, but what about the other 23 hours, 59 minutes and 45 seconds? I’m so passionate about making social media a safe space.
Things have changed since then, I’m now lucky enough to have met, and had children with, the man of my dreams and yet I still have my dark days. This has made me understand that mental health doesn’t discriminate. You can have it all; materially, emotionally, physically, and still battle internally.
You can lose it all at 37 and discover new parts of yourself at 50. Life has no age limit. Sometimes, things fall into place later in life, just like they did for me.
