"I want to say a huge thank you to each and everyone of you for the support and love I really appreciate it and I’m so grateful as I’m not going to lie I was so scared about the reaction of people knowing I’ve been on anti depressants for 5 years after post depression after my Renz was born, I felt fine so I came off them ... big mistake ... I gave myself a induced chemical imbalance in my brain so if any1 is thinking of doing the same please always do it with medical advice and never just stop taking them," she wrote.
"I was a mess I’m now back on a reduced dose and will be coming off them in a controlled way ❤️❤️❤️ but thank you thank you for the support and messages it means the world to me 🙏❤️❤️❤️ I believe depression can hit any1 at anytime I just hope the stigma goes away and we can talk openly about it ❤️❤️❤️"
The mother-of-four opened up to co-star Christine McGuinness about her experiences on Monday night's episode of the ITVBe hit reality series.
“I have not been in a good place to be honest. You know I’ve had post-natal depression and I had anti-depressants but I have stopped them,” she said, according to OK! Magazine UK. “I have been up, down and keep crying. I didn’t think the symptoms would be this bad.”
During her confessional, Tanya said: “I have been on anti-depressants since Renz was born five years ago and I’ve taken myself off them without consulting a doctor. It’s a really dangerous thing to do and I am feeling the consequences,” before breaking into tears.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire airs Monday nights at 10:00pm on ITVBe
