She added that she has been feeling hopeless.
"Struggling with my mental health and for the most part feeling pretty hopeless- and completely lost on how to process some of my darkest thoughts and feelings," she added.
The television personality thanked her psychiatrist for the role she has been playing in helping her recover.
"My psychiatrist is holding my hand through it as well as my rock @rizziziousmar who hasn’t left my side. But this patch has been a rocky one," she said.
Apart from her psychiatrist, she says help came in the form of equine therapy - a method that uses horses to facilitate and promote mental health.
