"I was sexually assaulted, I couldn't tell anyone for months. I became severely depressed..." - Anna
"I couldn't leave my flat for weeks.
I had to drop out of university and move back in with my parents after I tried to kill myself. Yet practically nobody knew because it was so easy to hide behind a smile on Instagram.
As far as anyone knew I was as happy as ever when the truth was I was a wreck.
I'm learning to be more open and accepting of every high and low I have because it's not healthy to be happy all the time.
Perfect doesn't exist so it's time we stopped pretending." - Anna @adventurous_egg_makeup
