glow up check✨ i’m not talking about my skin —> i’m talking about my mental health glow up when my skin cleared up my insecurity, depression, anxiety, & perfectionist tendencies did NOT go away with it. I started to question myself: “Tay you should be happy your skin is clear now!” but that didn’t work because mentally I was still struggling. It wasn’t until I started focusing on becoming my own best friend & prioritizing my mental wellbeing that I finally started to feel better. I started therapy 9 months ago and boy did that open up a can of worms that I was suppressing. I learned that... - I believed my self worth was dependent upon my physical appearance & achievements - I believed that anything under perfection meant “not good enough” - I believed that “happiness” was something that was achieved when everything was finally “perfect” - I hated myself - I found out I had severe depression - I found out I had severe anxiety but most importantly, I realized that I couldn’t do this alone & I needed help. I have gone through a FULL TRANSFORMATION over the past year & am continuing to learn more and more about myself... I have never been so deep. Prioritizing my mental health is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Take the time to check in with yourself... How am I feeling today mentally & physically? 🤍 The strongest thing someone can do, is knowing when to ask for help. ❤️ I LOVE YOU BESTIEEEES
