Definitely needed a break! I think it's so important to step back, take a break and get perspective. Every once in a while you can splurge and make that perspective an #ocean away! After 8 weeks of #withdrawal I realllyyyy needed to reset and leave work, book stuff and relationships all in #Toronto lol. #Jamaica #montegobay #vacation #westindies #caribbean

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!! I had a whole mini shoot planned for this day but I was too sick to make it happen so here I am in red and white instead 🇨🇦❤🇨🇦. Canada Day to me is always a huge reminder of the freedoms we enjoy here, yes it isn't perfect, yes we have our problems (many behind closed doors) but I would not have wanted to be born any where else. I never want to take those freedoms for granted. Xoxo #canada #CanadaDay #happycanadaday #longweekend #feteducanada #Canadaproud #proud #proudtobecanadian 📸 by @desireethomas.ca

I'm going to keep this short because it's long weekend LOL. If you've been following along on #Twitter, you'll already know I've been sick from transitioning off a medication for over 7 weeks now. I know. 7 weeks. Don't really feel like discussing the symptoms today as i'm still dealing with them and I'm super drained. Let's just say it hasn't been pleasant.☆ That being said, one issue is mood swings and lows. A lot of my old issues, things I thought I had resolved have come rushing back. It's important I take stock of what's happening and really examine my mindset and know the cause behind it. My point is, sometimes it's good to remove yourself from your situation/thoughts and look at it objectively, if that makes any sense. Talking to a friend or therapist can help or even just writing stuff down. I have a journal I write in when I'm miserable LOL and I just get it all out, no judgement. ☆ Again this quote is from one of my lovely girlfriends. 😋 Yeah this wasn't short...my bad. #inspiring #inspiration #mentalhealthbooks #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthblogger #mentalillness #mentalhealth #depression #mentalhealthquotes #withdrawal #discontinuationsyndrome

Happy #Pride to everyone celebrating in #Toronto today!!! I have so much respect for the #mentalhealth challenges this particular community face. I'll keep it light on such a beautiful day though. Be safe and drink lots of water!! #pridemonth #prideparade #PrideTO #Sunday #summer #summerday

The first time I realized suicidal thoughts weren’t normal

I’ll never forget this memory. I was 18 years-old and it was the year I took off after high school before going away to university. I mean I knew something was wrong at the time and that I was more than just sad and needed help. I was with a happy-go-lucky guy at the time […]
