Christina Haack Opens Up on Severe Anxiety Battle

 experienced severe anxiety when she was divorcing her third husband Josh Hall last year.

Over the weekend the 42-year-old Flip Or Flop star addressed those dark years when in with friends.

'Paris for 72 hours with people I love and admire,' she wrote in an Instagram caption next to an image of her and partner Chris Larocca as well as her two pals. 'I never take any of this life for granted.'

She then explained how awful it was to have anxiety: 'There was a time a few years ago when I had such severe anxiety and was at war with my brain.'

The home improvement expert finished with, 'I am grateful to be doing what I love with people I adore with no one bothering me.'

Larocca - whom she has been with since the fall of 2024 - took to the comments section to write, 'I'm so proud of you!!! Love you baby.' 

Haack, who was promoting Clé Cachée, responded to his comment: 'Best partner there ever was.'

A year ago she broke down in tears over the stress from divorcing Hall. She also said she was suffering from stress-related issues like headaches, bloating, weight gain and body aches.

A source told the Daily Mail last year that she was doing her best to correct it. 'Christina is doing more meditation and carving out quiet time for herself when she gets down time from her busy work schedule,' our source said.

'And she will be working out more with yoga and Pilates. Walks on the beach are also on her to-do list because that calms her down.'

Stress can trigger poor health. According to Mayo Clinic, high or low cortisol levels can cause a variety of symptoms, often related to stress and hormone imbalance.

'High cortisol can lead to weight gain, muscle weakness, high blood pressure and mood changes, while low cortisol can cause fatigue, weight loss and skin changes,' the medical center claimed.

Many of these symptoms overlap with other conditions, making diagnosis challenging. 

In early May 2025, Haack finalized her divorce from Hall. 'I'm grateful to have this behind me,' she wrote in an Instagram story shortly after the divorce was finalized. 'I can't wait to move on with my life and focus on what's ahead and all my blessings.'

Haack and Hall first started dating in March 2021, got engaged that September and wed a month later in October.

In the Stories post, she thanked her divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser.

'I loved watching you in action and how you handle everything and everyone with class and grace... I appreciate you all beyond words,' Haack wrote of the lawyer and her team, calling them 'all a true class act.'

During the divorce, Haack Hall disputed the claim.

He has also been accused of transferring $35,000 from Haack's bank account to his own - which he also denied.
