Selma Blair just posted one of the most relatable celebrity bikini photos on Instagram amidst her recovery from multiple sclerosis. Wearing a black bikini while doing backstrokes in the pool, the 47-year-old actress shared a simple plea for the universe.

"This week... please go easy on us universe. Love, selma #stayingafloat," she captioned the photo.

Talk about a Monday mood. Selma's fans and followers chimed in with their own requests from the universe, and she responded with more kind words. Selma wrote: "It feels so hard when you are anxious and feel alone. This will pass. It all does seem to. Find something that can help soothe you. Even a candle, or writing some of the chaos onto paper. Sending love."

Selma didn't share any more details in her post, but she has not had an "easy" year. The actress was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in August 2018. And she is currently in recovery from both chemotherapy and stem cell treatment. “I had no intention of doing it, I was like, I’m not ruining my body, what’s left of it. Why would I put this horrible drug, chemotherapy, in me? I don’t have cancer. But I was kind of out of options and I was looking,” she said at the Time 100 Health Summit last month.

Throughout the last year, Selma has been incredibly open about her journey with MS. She shares Instagram posts about her struggles with motherhood and tough treatment updates regularly. And Selma recently gave her followers an update about her hair growth post chemotherapy, even joking about it through channeling Britney Spears.

For those few interested at an in depth look at hair growth ,post chemotherapy for #hsct. I cut my hair short to transition myself and my son for impending baldness. Easy. Baldness came. I didn’t shave head to that end. Of course it fell out. Shiny. Pale dome. Nice enough. It took two months to begin regrowth And it came in fine and pale and very sparse. I shaved it. It looked too sad. For me. I let it grow back. It was patchy in color and I felt like dying it brown. Ridiculous! I really only succeeded in dying my scalp. After a week, I buzzed shorter with clippers and a few weeks later, here we are 🙌. A thinnish, patchy charcoal head. I will see how a pixie grows in. Or I will buzz again. It seems to be too much to have long hair again. So I will leave it short and grey, something I have never before wanted to do. I equated it with giving up. And maybe giving up long, brown hair, complete with time consuming and expensive highlights and lowlights isn’t necessarily a give up. Give in. Embrace. Sure. I’ll try it. Unless...some fancy pants company with a thick checkbook wants to entice me out of dye retirement. Then I will sing about the glories of processed hair! I certainly will. So, until that wished for day, enjoy the head 💋 #buzzed #saltandpepperhair #showingmyroots #thecomeback

And just this summer, she also shared a post about how scary it's been to lose her vision. “Panic sets in. Will this be permanent? How do I get to one more doctor appointment? How will I work and write when I can’t see and it’s so painful?” she wrote.

Still, despite her symptoms, Selma said, "I am choosing to say this too shall pass."

Sunday. Rest. Gratitude. I write this with helping someone else in mind... Since chemotherapy and high doses of prednisone I have lost any ability to focus with my eyes.(I find it difficult to be on phone so I am not on social media or communicating w friends through writing very much). Panic sets in. Will this be permanent? How do I get to one more doctor appointment? How will I work and write when I can’t see and it’s so painful? And then a simmering of knowing. Underneath all the doubt. It will be ok. Take it smaller to each moment. Let the body heal. Nourish. Walk slowly. Burst into laughter. Give my nervous system a chance. I see how wonderful and kind people can be. I see how frightening it can be. Uncertainty. I am choosing to say this too shall pass. And my word... it’s so beautiful today. Still cool in the shade and the whole day before us... we can do it. Breathe . 💛 ps. My left leg is feeling the ground!!! #hsct Also... I have found much relief in settling my system with @montelbyselect #relax #hempextractcapsules . Thank you @montel_williams 🧡

If there's anyone who deserves a break from the universe—even just for a sec—it's Selma.
