Love Island star Siânnise Fudge has shared a mental health update with fans after opening up about her struggles. The Bristolian reality star, who found fame on the winter edition of Love Island in early 2020, shared a vulnerable paragraph with fans earlier this month, informing them of her past mental health battles.
This time last year, Siânnise said she was suffering with anxiety and depression 'behind closed doors', which resulted in her 'having insomnia, extreme mood swings and losing two stone in weight'. Whilst dealing with the troubling impacts of her poor mental health, Siânnise revealed that she lost all her confidence, and her relationships and work suffered; this was not helped by some of her followers sending her 'triggering' messages about her appearance.
The 28-year-old took to her Instagram story yesterday, July 24, to chat with fans about what they are grateful for. When one fan said they were grateful for their health, Siânnise replied with a quote which helped her when she was 'poorly'.

Siânnise said: "I'm going to start with this one because it's mine too. Health really is wealth.
"Prioritise your physical and mental health as it's the most important. Always listen to your body and remember it's ok to take time out when you need it. Here is one of my favourite quotes that I used to read when I was poorly:
"Your best doesn't mean pushing yourself to your breaking point. Your best happens when you get enough sleep, take breaks and listen to your limits.
"Your best happens when you are your best you. I hope this helps someone today who needs it."
When Siânnise was unwell, she went to hospital twice for checks and, despite being 'terrified of needles' she begged the doctors to take her blood and help her. Siânnise was then assured that her results were 'all clear' and there was nothing physically wrong with her, but she was suffering from 'severe anxiety'.
In her initial post about mental health earlier this month, she wrote: "I was lost, depressed and unhealthy, but somehow I developed the strength to work on myself. I turned every negative comment into fuel and motivation to get better and today I stand here, healed with a healthy mind & a happy heart. I feel beautiful, confident & I love my body now more than ever.
"I never understood mental health until I experienced it myself and how important it is. I urge everybody to be kind because you never know what someone is going through, everyone has a story."
Ending on an uplifting note, Siânnise added: "Every cloud has a silver lining, I am living proof of this."
