OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Bowen says dealing with her anxiety during her pregnancy has been difficult.
The 28-year-old reality TV star and her husband Alex Bowen, 30, are expecting their first child together but Olivia admitted that her mental health struggles have surfaced again due to her hormones.
She told OK!: “My anxiety comes and goes. I think it’s hard because you do get the hormones, and you’re trying to work out what’s real and what’s not.
“It’s just about keeping it under control. Make sure that you’re [speaking about it], and I always do lots of lists and notes, and things like that to help me sort of fight that anxiety. But yeah, you do have really heightened emotions. You just have to ride the wave.”
However, Olivia – who has a history of depression – went on to praise the NHS for how they have treated her.
She said: ““When I went to my first midwife appointment, I made it really clear that I suffer with anxiety and that I have had a history of depression, and they were so helpful.
“They referred me to a mental health midwife and they just did everything possible to make me feel at ease.
“I’m really proud of our NHS for that. It was really nice.”
