❗️PERSONAL POST: TRIGGER WARNING❗️

The 2nd photo is 2018: I’d been out of college for a year, I was working at Lowe’s, living in an apartment with friends, I was at my lowest weight, and the most depressed I’d ever been - thanks to anorexia, alcohol, ci******es, un-checked mental health issues, and drugs.
2018 was a really HARD year for me, but no matter how much I was going through, I always painted my face on. 😀

The 1st picture is NOW: I’ve had a child, I’ve been OVERweight, I’ve had postpartum, I’ve healed my trauma, I RARELY wear makeup and I take care of my skin - I’m on a healthy medication that makes me feel normal, and I give my body the things it needs to stay thriving.
It’s been a HARD road at times, but I was lucky to have people that loved me and wanted the best for me. ❤️
Moral of my story: you CAN heal - It IS possible, even when you’re in the middle of it, and you think it’s not possible; IT IS. If you know someone who looks like they have it together, check in with them - you never know what someone is going through. 🖤

I’m really proud of who I am right now, the weight I’m at, and the journey I’m on; ✨
