But a thought bubble around her read: "I need a home cooked meal, I need a shower, I need a break, I need some time to myself.
"I need some sleep. I need someone to understand how bad I feel sometimes. "I need time, rest, help, food, hugs, support, cookies, quiet nourishment, help with laundry, cleaning, cooking, I need acknowledgement, understanding and support."
The post came as she celebrated three years on the show, as fans created a collage of pictures and thanked the actress for "putting your entire self into the sometimes heartbreaking but always beautiful person that is Maddie Buckley".
