Frankie Bridge has opened up about her mental health battles, revealing how a particularly bad day left her “in the depths of despair” and struggling to explain it to her young children. Speaking on Loose Women: The Podcast, the former Saturdays singer spoke candidly about how she handles discussions about anxiety and depression with her two sons, Parker and Carter.
While they are aware of her struggles with anxiety, she admitted she’s never had a full conversation with them about her depression, as she’s unsure how much they would truly understand. She recalled a moment when her youngest son accidentally witnessed one of her lowest points. “He caught me on a day I was having a particularly bad time. I was just really, really crying,” she shared. When he walked in and asked, ‘Mummy, are you okay? What’s wrong?’ Frankie panicked and, not wanting to overwhelm him, told him she had a migraine.
