Description: Try as we might to seem all pristine, sometimes mental health just doesn’t let us keep our plans! I hope people will understand and won’t be mad that we had to scrap the original footage and just film as we were 💖 After feeling a little triggered about my appearance, I brushed it off and filmed it anyway as I was - PJ’s and all - and figured, well, it’ll either work okay or people won’t like it... but I hope at least people understand 🌸 my original footage rocked my mental health and I had to just make do with what I could 🙈 thank you for being so patient 😊 ⚠️ Trigger/Content warning ⚠️ + this video contains butterfly symbolism + brief discussions of trauma and caregiver death + distaste of not wanting to be séxualised ===Whilst we may give self-help tips and advice, we are not a replacement for any mental health professional=== 🎶 Love the music?
