THIS IS THE FACE OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY. Picture 2 is also the face that I pull to them because they are almost as annoying as the mosquito bites that I have which currently made me look like I have measles. I shall take it as a positive and assume I’m just super tasty. 😉 NEW POST IN BIO: 5 THINGS TO KEEP YOUR MENTAL HEALTH SANE TRAVELLING SOLO Across this near YEAR of travelling solo, I have experienced all the highs I couldn’t have imagined and all the lows I tried so hard to avoid in 5 years of therapy - hence why I wasn’t ready to come to terms with who I really was or what I was really thinking when I was in it. I started this adventure on 1 September 2018 and I vowed, through my embarrassment, that I was going to be honest about my mental health. Honest to myself and to every person I met if they asked. This has meant a lot of people realising that despite the fact I am the most outgoing, social butterfly known to the universe, Depression and Anxiety still exist and pose alongside this smile - but that’s okay, because that’s what’s true. It’s been an incredibly empowering journey for me, explaining to people who have asked, what it feels like to be depressed when I’m usually so smiley. The death of my favourite comedian Robin Williams, hit me big time, and showed to the world that sometimes the happiest, funniest people are the ones suffering the most. We must all continue to be mindful of the secret illness that is mental illness. Thailand has been the most beautiful base to start exploring from, and I forgot it would take me a little while to get into the swing of things. To start alone again has been difficult, to get into the flow of not knowing where I’m going to be or when is scary (me and my control issues have a fall out about that) and the very chats I had about loneliness with my old therapist have now been pushed to the surface, forcing me to face my battle with them head on - and that, whilst uncomfortable at first, will and has helped me so much the past year. I came travelling to be alone - and I will not fall at the hurdles that try and make me. Nearly 12 months away have led me to write this post! Link in Bio 🤓
This was very beautiful. I’m grateful to have seen the sun rise and also now set, in my last few days in Koh Phangan. 🌅 - Hostel stay was @echo_beach_backpackers Thank you for having me and letting me hug your dogs lots.
GUTTED that I’ve got one last day with this girl before we set off on our different journeys. @juliebreilidarndt it’s been a fucking 2 week pleasure and I will MISS you and your insane love island addiction despite living in Norway and having to download it via VPN. ❤️❤️❤️ #sozfortheinstaspam #awkwardarm
Stereotypical Emily with her stereotypical bucket. 😉 The Full Moon party takes over the entire beach, with music, dancing and drinking until the sun is fully high. It’s incredible. Swipe ➡️ for some incredible #skyporn . Was totally worth finally getting to bed at 9.30am for those sunrise views. #fullmoonparty 🌕

The start of a positive UP, and the storm has broken into hot, sunny days. Yesterday brought beaches, viewpoints, great people, FANTASTIC choices of wicked cafes and restaurants, fun vibes, buckets, Pad Thai, exotic cabaret shows with even more exotic women 😉.. I’m so proud and pleased I came here despite originally not wanting to, and am leaving feeing so much better than a few days ago. Koh Tao - you’ve been a DREAM. 🔜Koh Phaghan 🌴 ☀️ ☀️ ☀️
