2. She fought suicidal tendencies

Sharing a picture from the time she spent in a hospital ward contemplating whether to end her life, Rachel stressed on the importance of having people who can take care of you and help you heal.

'No one came to the hospital, because no one knew I was there,' Rachel wrote.

'That’s when I learned I was going to have to show up for myself first.'

'Everything I do is for this girl; and everyone else like her.

'The people who feel so broken and alone, and think it will be that way forever.

'Most people looking at this girl; wouldn’t have seen it possible for her to make it as far as I have.

'But this is only the beginning,' she shared.

So how did Rachel do it? 'I’ve just let go of everything that was never me to begin with,' she said.
