This is anxiety. This is depression. Smiling through the pain to show up for your friends, family or colleagues. You never always know what someone else is going through, so please Be Kind 🫶🏻 #MentalHealthAwareness

Wish there was a dating app for people who don’t actually want to play with people’s emotions and waste their time. Just have some balls and tell me the truth. Any decent guys left out there?? I’m sure girls are just as bad too. Ffs…

Going to the hospital to say goodbye to someone is a very weird feeling. The last time I did that it was for my ex partners Nan - over 15 years ago - more of a support than for me. Today though, it’s for my Stepdad. 😢 Emphysema is brutal and I’m just glad he’s in no more pain 💔
