Last night someone asked me what the tattoo on my neck means and why I got it. 2016 was a really heavy year for me. I was dealing with anxiety and depression and reached the point where I didn’t even notice I was hurting myself physically. It wasn’t until a friend pointed out that I had scratches and scars across the back of my neck that I realised I was lost and needed help. 2 years later, with the combined help of God, my family, amazing friends, and Sam, I’m able to deal with my anxiety in a healthier way. No more scratches! Just a reminder that I’m saved. If you’re going through something, don’t be afraid to let people in. Let your loved ones love you ✨</a></p><p style=' color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;'>A post shared by <a href='https://www.instagram.com/kianavee/' style=' color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;' target='_blank'> Kiana 🌙</a> (@kianavee) on <time datetime='2018-07-19T08:23:30+00:00' style=' font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;'>Jul 19, 2018 at 1:23am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote><script async defer src='~//www.instagram.com/embed.js' type='text/javascript'></script><p> </p><p>Through the post, the singer shared she suffered from anxiety and depression and was inflicting pain on herself. </p><p>“2016 was a really heavy year for me.
