Sarah Hyland, AKA Haley from Modern Family, has always been an open book when it has come to her struggles with her mental and physical health.
She has had not one, but two kidney transplants in the last six years alone, and she is only 28 -years-old.
She revealed that after her first transplant failed, she contemplated suicide.
She was very discouraged, and her morale was completely shot.
"At that time I was very depressed, for a long time I was contemplating suicide. I had gone through 26 years of always being a burden, of always having to be looked after, having to be cared for, because I’ve always had health issues," she said.
She posted this photo on Instagram, along with the caption: "#funfact I’m wearing TWO pairs of spanx. Why diet? When you can just hide it!"
Before that, though, she was immediately accused of "toxic body shaming" without knowing the extent of what Sarah was actually going through.
They also point out that Sarah looks like she's 90 pounds and has no reason to diet.
They also point out that she has candidly spoken about not being able to gain weight in the past, which sends mixed signals to a lot of people, since now she is insinuating she wants to lose weight.
It's completely okay for her to want to conceal that while she walks the red carpet.
"I call it my KUPA: kidney upper [expletive] area." she told Self.
She made sure to reply to the tweet, and praise them for speaking up to the haters on her behalf.
This is something people could never understand without feeling it themselves.
This tweet probably helped a lot of other people that are going through something similar, looking for ways to stay positive.
A refreshing switch from the negative comments she was previously receiving.
This is the kind of support we should always try to give people on social media, instead of jumping to conclusions and trying to make them feel bad about themselves.
Inspiring to say the least.
She has gone through something that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, twice.
At least we know they were ignorant to the truth about the whole thing.
Not that it's anybody's business anyway.
