This isn’t something I talk about, but it’s important that we all start having the important conversation regarding mental health. Here it goes: I’ve been putting on a smile for years - but behind it I was struggling. #BellLetsTalk

I never wanted to acknowledge how much I felt like I was failing, how much
I felt like I was a failure. There were days I didn’t get out of bed and days I did just to move to my couch and cry. I felt overwhelmed, incapable, and out of control. #BellLetsTalk

Last summer I was driving to Dallas to meet my husband and I started crying uncontrollably somewhere around the state line. For no apparent reason. And I knew then I couldn’t help myself alone - I needed help. #BellLetsTalk

I was diagnosed with anxiety with depressive episodes. Since July I’ve been in therapy. Every day is different but the difference for me mentally is tremendous. I wish I would’ve cut myself some slack and treated my anxiety and depression, not like a weakness ... #BellLetsTalk

but as the illness that it is. Mostly, I wish I would’ve sought treatment sooner. It’s why we need to #endthestigma and make sure people know they’re not alone #BellLetsTalk
