OK folks, I& #39;m about to get real. Time for a thread.

When it comes to posting on our social media feeds, a lot of the time we post our highlights. The wins. The positives. The things that make us happy. Which don& #39;t get me wrong — is fantastic. Happy posts make me smile.

Today is a really crappy day for me mentally. My heart won& #39;t stop racing. My brain won& #39;t stop turning. And that vomity feeling in my stomach? Yeah, it& #39;s there.

My emotions are taking over, despite me telling myself to calm the heck down and take a deep breath.

For me, this is what my clinical anxiety looks like, and it really hurts. It& #39;s raw, and it& #39;s very real. Today, it& #39;s been triggered by my personal life, but that isn& #39;t always the case.

Sometimes it just happens. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to why i& #39;m feeling "off."

I& #39;m not posting this to seek attention. I& #39;m here to say that if you too are having a bad spout — pardon the cliche — you& #39;re definitely not alone.

It& #39;s time we change our feelings towards admitting that hey, today isn& #39;t a great day. And that& #39;s ok.

I& #39;m putting my heart on the table. Be kind. My DM& #39;s are always open.

I& #39;m no psychiatrist, but sometimes it just feels nice to know you aren& #39;t fighting this fight alone.

Check in on your friends and loved ones. Reach out to a stranger you see struggling. And while we& #39;re at it — stop being so gosh dang hard on yourself. Chances are, it& #39;ll only hurt you more in the end.

Thanks for listening, friends.
