Frankie Bridge has opened up about her recent days struggling with depressionThe mum-of-two said she struggled to moveFrankie said she was mad at herself for not pushing herself
And in a new post, the Loose Women star shared that, despite now feeling better physically, she’s still trying to remain strong mentally, even though it took her a “whole day”; to bring herself to work out at her family’s home gym.
Speaking directly to the camera and sharing via Instagram Stories, Frankie said: “I have finally made it down to the gym. It's taken me the whole day to actually get here.
“My depression is absolutely kicking my a**e, and I'm so over it. You know when you just feel like you do all the things you're told you're meant to do, and then it just still always comes back?
“I'm just so bored of myself. It is so boring. You know when you just think everyone around me must just be so bored of it as well, and I just I'm over it.”;
“But I'm here,”; she added. “I'm going to try and do as much as I can in the gym, because I know it will make me feel better, instead of just sitting around, eating s**t, which is what I've been doing all day, which only makes me feel worse and I know that, so I don't know why I do it, but here we are back in the same old place.”;
Thankfully some time at the gym seemed to do the trick for Frankie, who later credited her workout alongside the music to band Paramore for lifting her spirits.
“There is not much that a little bit of Paramore and a workout can't fix,”; she told her followers. “I definitely feel a lot better, and if I hadn't have come in, I'd have just berated myself even more.
“But I had the whole day that I was able to come to the gym, and I just didn't, I just sat around and just wallowed in self pity. And so I am glad that I did it, and I do definitely feel better for it. I feel like it's picked me up.”;
While she noted she still felt bad about ‘not going in earlier’, she added: “I just couldn't do it. Just couldn't get in here before now. So it is what it is.
“I should just be pleased that I've done it. So yeah, it's just a little reminder. Sometimes we have bad days. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better one.”;
After she revealed she was hospitalised for a breakdown aged 21, her campmate Matty Lee asked what the turning point was in her recovery.
Frankie opened up on husband and former footballer Wayne Bridge and said: “Because I was with Wayne, I still remember being in the shower, and thinking, I love him, we’d spoken about marriage and kids and stuff, we had a beautiful home, I had a career I’d always wanted, but I just knew I was fundamentally unhappy.
“And that was when I realised that something just really wasn’t right. It was almost being happy made me realise I was unhappy, which is probably really hard for people to understand.”
She alsoaddressed her medicationin camp and told how she “would love not to” have depression and anxiety.
