Princess Märtha Louise has “had some really bad days lately”

Princess Märtha Louise of Norway has revealed that she’s gone through some difficult days as of late in a post on her Instagram account.

The Princess shared a photo on Monday, 24 August from her summer holiday in Lofoten, Norway, with her parents, children, brother and his family.

“Some days are better than others – and I have to admit I have had some really bad days lately. Some times it all just feels too much and overwhelming, and I tend to go into a pit of despair, self pity and feeling like a victim in all areas of life. No energy – literally – depression creeping in,” she revealed.

In the photo on her post, she is standing and smiling on a cliff. She continued in her post: “But then suddenly, after climbing this loooong [sic] hill, there is a shift. A friend comes over and turns everything around, and you suddenly see the beauty around you again and recognise that you are actually standing on a mountain top in front of this spectacular view. The grit and grind has been the trip up to the top, and suddenly you acknowledge the transformation.”

Princess Märtha Louise then offered advice to others who may be going through similar struggles: “We can all make this shift like the butterfly coming out of its cocoon. The great thing is to have friends with the spiritual powers to really see you and move the energy so you may make the shift… Let’s create some magic together. Earth magic.”

She concluded her post with hashtags about women supporting other women.
