However, hours later, Fakhri posted another story \u2014 a photograph of Downtown Dubai\u2019s skyline taken from her apartment \u2014 accompanied by a candid note about her mental state.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo matter what, this feeling of anxiety and dread lingers because you just don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna happen next. Can\u2019t even get to sleep, your brain is on high alert. It\u2019s so late and I\u2019m wide awake,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
The contrasting posts, one amplifying public reassurance and another revealing private unease, have resonated widely with followers, many of whom said her words reflect the silent anxiety people experience even when official assurances are in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Nargis Fakhri has set social media abuzz after posting a series of Instagram stories from Dubai, revealing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365483,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[276],"tags":[169818,169819,169820,169821,3308,3083,3819,18,135,19,17,167,502,3818,3795],"class_list":{"0":"post-365482","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mental-health","8":"tag-instagramstories","9":"tag-nargisfakhri","10":"tag-publicfigure","11":"tag-travelanxiety","12":"tag-actress","13":"tag-anxiety","14":"tag-dubai","15":"tag-eire","16":"tag-health","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-mental-health","20":"tag-mentalhealth","21":"tag-uae","22":"tag-wellbeing"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116164913934301988","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
