"God knows why I'm doing this," Rugby, U.K., resident Amber Smith began her caption on the above photos, "but people need some home truths." The pictures, one of her "dressed up, filters galore, 'normal,'" above one "taken shortly after suffering from a panic attack because of my anxiety," now have thousands of shares on Facebook.

Smith continues to address the stigmas she faces each time she tells someone she suffers from anxiety and depression: "There's still people that make comments like 'you'll get over it', 'you don't need tablets, just be happier', 'you're too young to suffer with that. FUCK YOU. Fuck all of you small minded people that think that because I physically look 'fine' that I'm not battling a monster inside my head every single day."

She concludes her post is not to break anyone down but to call attention to something that is still so stigmatized: "The more awareness there is, the less people who will suffer in silence."🙌🙌🙌
