Emotional Kerry Admits: 'I'm Struggling Again'

She’s been brutally honest about her ongoing battle with bipolar disorder, after being diagnosed at 24 – telling Closer in February that she has days where she “didn’t want to get out of bed.”

And last week, Kerry Katona bravely confessed to fans in an Instagram live video that she’d been “struggling hugely” since her 38th birthday last month, admitting, “Since my birthday I’ve really struggled mentally… hugely. Really, really struggled mentally. Obviously I’m at home on my own all day when the kids are at school and that’s a massive, massive trigger for me… is being on my own. When I’m feeling down, I cut myself off from the world.

“There’s times I sit there and think, ‘Oh my God, I can’t cope with this any more. There’s no way out of how I’m feeling. There’s no way out of this hole that I’m in. I want to make it really, really clear that I struggle. I do struggle. And it isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. For me, it’s been one of my longest downs.”
