Instagram is a powerful tool for Whitney

She went on to reveal her own mental heath issues. She wrote, “Diagnosed with depression at 18 and have been dealing with it for more than 20 years. I’ve also been diagnosed with atypical anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and generalized anxiety disorder. 2020 has been chaotic, terrifying, divisive, and disheartening.”

Whitney continues to shine
Whitney continues with, “If you feel like this, again, you are NOT ALONE. If you’ve been comparing your life to people on social media, wondering why you can’t get it the f*ck together, let me remind you: social media IS NOT REAL”
However, she tries, “to be as authentic as possible here. Whitney continues, “but there would be no way for me share the profound personal loss I’ve experienced this year, as well as the stress, isolation, and daily ups and downs I’ve experienced going through this year like all the rest of you.”
Like many, “this has been the hardest period of my life in terms of my mental health that I can remember.”
What has helped Whitney Way Thore most
Whitney goes on to talk about a few things that have helped her the most. First is medication, therapy, and connecting with others. While it’s hard to connect with people during the time of Covid, Whitney has posted a few pictures of herself on Instagram with friends and family. “I try to pick up my phone and call home as much as possible,” she continued, giving her friends a shoutout for “checking on me and not getting mad when I suck at returning texts,” according to People.com.
Fans thoughts
Heavy.com reported that Whitney has been spending a lot of time with her well-known ex, Buddy. They posted that when Whitney was hospitalized for a panic attack following her breakup and social media announcement, Buddy was the one who picked her up and took her home. He didn’t leave her side. Fans have speculated that the two are getting back together. Though this seems unlikely everyone’s hoping for a miracle!
