Each year, many in the U.S. observe Mental Health Awareness Month in May. Since 1949, the event has encouraged people to speak out about their personal struggles and fight any stigma attached to such issues. This year, the annual observation of the month inspired "Good Morning America" chief meteorologist Ginger Zee to reveal a bit more about herself amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

On Tuesday, the ABC News personality penned an Instagram post that she shared with her followers.

After stating that on certain days she feels a "darkness" and desire to drink and isolate due to her depression, she revealed that over the years, she has developed a series of positive behaviors that have proven to be effective for her. She also elaborated on how she reached the point where she is now.

"Thankfully now I can pull myself out of the spiral these days. I didn’t always have the tools. I didn’t always think I had purpose. I can talk myself out of the darkness for at least an hour or two. I anticipate that will happen today," she wrote.

Continuing, she added that she views her personal experiences as a "day-long multi-pronged war" at times. Fortunately, she is not alone in her fight, as she said that she has found support in both her husband and her therapist. On the darker days, she said that she tells them that she has "that feeling again," which helps her due to the honesty and transparency behind the decision.

Looking forward, she wrote, "And I tell myself to remember that tomorrow won't be as dark and cloudy. I know how the atmosphere works, storms don't last forever." She later added, "Despite that fear, I am not going to stop fighting. You shouldn’t either." Her full post can be seen below.

This is not the first time that Zee has been open with her fans about her mental health. In 2018, she spoke to Guideposts about her decision to attend an inpatient therapy program before starting her job at "Good Morning America" and various things in her life that helped her find a healthier path.

"You can get through it and become a better person. Those natural disasters have purpose, and with hard work—emotionally and spiritually—you can find gratitude in each of them," she said.
