Overview

  • On August 25, she shared two Instagram clips captioned “Sometimes this is what depression looks like” and “Today it’s telling me I’m a worthless waste of space.”
  • One video showed her forcing herself to the gym after a day on the sofa as she described trying to quiet intrusive thoughts.
  • She has a documented history of depression and anxiety, including a 2011 hospital stay, multiple antidepressant trials and ketamine therapy she said helped.
  • Bridge has framed her illness as medical in nature and has said she wants to reduce stigma, previously stating, “I’m not weak – I’m ill.”
  • Some outlets report ITV recently intervened to ease tensions with Loose Women co‑stars, a claim presented as reported rather than independently verified.
