  17. ^ Jeffery, Sarah (December 12, 2019). "I was having a chat with my castmates yesterday about this platform, and how it is such a dangerous place to be. I know we've all heard that before, that Instagram is a lie, but genuinely I can tell you, it does not paint a full picture. It's very curated and deceiving. And as a person on here with somewhat of a following, I'm beginning to feel irresponsible for not showing that whole picture. If I want to use this app, I feel the responsibility to share the duality of life, which is there truly are highs and lows. So, I might get some eye rolls, but the truth is I have been struggling heavily with my mental health, specifically OCD, the past little bit. I say this not for attention or anything in that vein, I just really feel like it's damaging to not see anything relatable or real coming through your feed. Some days are a real challenge, sometimes it feels like I'm army crawling my way through a day in thick ass mud. that's just the way it is 🤷♀️. Some days are really great and my OCD isn't as loud. It's a coin toss. So fear not! You are not alone. Sending my love to anyone and everyone who needs it". Archived from the original on December 24, 2021. Retrieved May 28, 2020 – via Instagram.
