Description

WELP... My theme of love for February was disrupted by a gut feeling that this topic needed to be discussed. Depression and anxiety has been apart of my life in a BIG WAY BUT... I know when self-care (AND SELF LOVE) is top of mind, it keeps it at bay. When I take care of me, I kick depression to the curb. Let's break this mental health awareness stigma.

REMEMBER:

• YOU DESERVE TO FEEL YOUR BEST!
• YOU ARE WORTHY OF GETTING OUT THIS RUT!
• YOU ARE SO EFFING SPECIAL
• DON'T GIVE UP
• YOU CAN DO THIS!
• THERAPY ISN'T WEIRD.. IT'S HELPFUL
• THIS IS A SEASON OF WINTER... SUMMER IS COMING
