"Bridgerton" star Ruby Barker said she's "happy to be alive" after being released from the hospital where she received mental health treatment.

The actress, who plays Marina Crane (née Thompson) on the breakout Netflix series, posted a video on Monday to Instagram thanking healthcare workers, the media, her more than 230,000 followers, along with "everyone at Bridgerton" and "Shondaland" for their support after she shared that she had been hospitalized in a previous post last week.

"You have all been incredible; like literally. You've made me feel so happy to be alive," she said in the video where it appears she's in a pool overlooking nature. "I'm so grateful for that."

"It's really made me feel less alone and I hope that it offers some comfort to the people out there too that are struggling with their mental health," Barker added. "I can't wait for the future...I'm doing OK for myself."

Barker shared last week in an Instagram video she posted that she was in the hospital after "struggling" with her mental health.

"I just want to be honest with everybody, I have been struggling," she said then. "So, I'm in the hospital at the minute, I'm gonna get discharged soon and hopefully get to continue with my life and I'm gonna take a little bit of a break from myself."

On Monday, Barker concluded her update by encouraging her followers to slow things down and seek support in facing their own challenges.

"If you are struggling, please do yourself a favor. Take a break, stop being so hard on yourself," she said. "People used to always tell me not to be so hard on myself, and I never really, really knew what that meant."

The actress also shared some advice she received from her "Bridgerton" costar, Claudia Jessie, who plays Eloise Bridgerton.

"She told me to flip the coin: It might be dull on one side, but just flip the coin and you'll find it's shiny on the other. It's training your mind to find the funny, to find the light, to find the positive," Barker shared.

"It's a really hard thing to do, but if you can get into the practice of doing that, you've got it," she continued. "Anybody that's in a dark place right now, I just want you to know I see you I feel you. Find the funny and flip that coin."
