Frankie Bridge has shared worrying posts about her depression battle as she admitted to feeling like a ‘worthless waste of space’.
The former Saturdays star, 36, is a huge advocate for speaking out about mental health, and often talks about her own struggles on social media.
She has been candid about her battle with the condition, which resulted in her being hospitalised in 2011 after reaching ‘rock bottom’.
Taking to Instagram, Frankie shared a heartbreaking admission as she opened up to fans about struggling with the condition.
Sharing an outdoor selfie from a visit to the gym, Frankie wrote: ‘Sometimes this is what depression looks like. Sitting on the sofa all day in your pjs.
‘Then being so fundamentally fed up of your own shit, you finally find the strength to make it to the gym. Quick shower and back to the sofa and pjs. Better than nothing.

In a second post, Frankie was seen sitting on a yoga mat with her hands placed on her knees as she breathed in.
‘Spent a lot of the time psyching myself up and trying to quiet the noise in my head,’ an emotional Frankie said in the clip.
‘Today it’s telling me I’m a worthless waste of space.’
Earlier this year, Frankie opened up about her battle with depression in an emotional new video on Saturday evening.
The Loose Women panellist posted a video to her Instagram Story at the time explaining how it had taken her the ‘whole day’ to get to the gym.
Speaking to her supportive community of followers, she admitted depression is ‘absolutely kicking my a**e.’
‘I have finally made it down to the gym,’ Frankie said, adding: ‘It has taken me the whole day to actually get here.
‘My depression is absolutely kicking my a**e and I am so over it.’

Frankie, who is a loving mum to sons Parker and Carter, reflected on her bad day, sharing that she has done everything she has been told to do, but still felt exhausted.
‘You know when you just feel like you do all the things you’re told to do and then it just always comes back,’ she said.
The singer looked sad, as she further added: ‘I’m just so bored of myself, it is so boring.
‘You know, I just think everyone around me must just be so bored of it as well.’
Despite the fact she felt down, Frankie persevered and dragged herself to her home gym to exercise.
‘But I am here, I’m gonna try and do as much as I can in the gym, because I know it will make me feel better.
‘And so sitting around, eating s**t, which is what I’ve been doing all day, only makes me feel worse.’

Frankie then went on to share her playlist, which included several Paramore songs, that she labelled: ‘Medicine.’
Feeling accomplished, she later wrote: ‘So pleased I did it. Finished off @catjanefitness with a little extra @bryonydeery 5 minute abs.’
After an intense workout, Frankie then re-appeared on her Stories to say: ‘So there is not much that a little bit of Paramore and a workout can’t fix.
‘I definitely feel a lot better and if I hadn’t come in, I’d have just berated myself even more that I had the whole day that I was able to come to the gym and I just didn’t, and I just sat around and just wallowed in self pity.’
