Katie has been embroiled in ongoing rows triggered by the launch of her 18-year-old daughter Princess Andre‘s new reality show, The Princess Diaries.
Katie was not allowed to participate on the show, which she admitted her annoyance about on her podcast, The Katie Price Show.
Shortly afterwards, Peter broke his 16-year silence to speak out against his ex-wife, making public for the first time that the kids were court ordered to live with him since 2019.
This then set off a chain of events which included reports she had got into a ‘rift’ with Princess, her second husband, Alex Reid, making his own public accusations against her.
And now, after 10 days that have “been a lot” for the star, she has spoken out about her mental health.
Katie has shared how her PTSD has been “triggered”, as well as her anxiety.
Getting candid in a new Instagram post she shared on Thursday night, Katie uploaded a video and caption.
In the video she explained how she was at the horses which she calls her “safe place” because of how relaxing she finds it.
She added how her mental health had been “triggered like you would not believe” over the past 10 days.
In the caption of the post, she elaborated further when she penned: “The past 10 days have been a lot, thank you to everyone who has messaged me.
“I have came to the horses for some me time as my anxiety, PTSD and mental health has been triggered a lot.”
She added how she was happy to have a visit planned to the Supreme CBD warehouse to top up on “oil and gummies” which have been “such a massive help”.
“If anyone out there is feeling similar to me right now, the anxiety, lack of sleep, PTSD then stay strong,” she added.
Reacting to her honest post, fans flocked to the comments to show their support for the former glamour model.
What is PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)?
POST-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health condition sparked by stressful, frightening or distressing events.
The NHS states that someone with PTSD “often relives the traumatic event through nightmares and flashbacks, and may experience feelings of isolation, irritability and guilt”.
Someone with PTSD may also have problems sleeping, “such as insomnia, and find concentrating difficult”.
The health provider states that symptoms are often “severe and persistent enough to have a significant impact on the person’s day-to-day life”.
Any stressful or frightenining event can cause PTSD with the following being some of the most common causes:
- Serious road accidents
- Violent personal assaults, such as sexual assault, mugging or robbery
- Serious health problems
- Childbirth experiences
