The phrase " I am under construction " ; is the greatest terminology to describe our feelings🤘🤘🙏🙏👍👍

I’m horrendously struggling at the moment and just hearing someone else talk about how they feel is a little sigh of relief

[@wanjirujenny]

@@brittanymcgowan846 thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻❤️ I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for over a decade. I lost my older brother to suicide in 2015, he was 28. It’s been a real struggle many times. God bless you for advocating. I struggle with my inner monologue being VERY negative and harsh.
