Love Island star Malin Andersson revealed her baby daughter was recently rushed to the hospital with chicken pox.
Malin reflected on how 'tough' it can be raising a child as a single parent at times during his candid update to fans, adding how she hasn't been able to sleep much over recent days.
The TV personality took to her Instagram page to share an update with her 705,000 followers.
She said her daughter Xaya was taken to the hospital on Tuesday and added that being a single mother has been 'tough'.
The 13-month-old baby has been 'unwell' and just 'couldn't settle' so Malin has barely had any sleep.
Sharing a selfie with her arm covering half her face, she said: "I just woke up from a one hour nap. Probably the longest bit of sleep I’ve had all week.
"The picture before this one shows me working, helping others in my element - bright eyed bushy tailed and raring to go. Powered by coffee though."
She continued: "You see thanks to my ADHD (sometimes) trusted regular coffee order at costa and a good healthy diet & exercise I manage to get through most days.. but today I crashed. So I thought I would take a pic of how I’m looking and feeling exactly now.
"We all hear the highs of being a mum - but being a working single mum that has goals higher than the sky can be tough. Xayas poorly at the moment so it adds on extra pressure - she has chicken pox so I cancelled filming today and came back from my mini break with her late last night after a hospital visit."
Malin revealed that her head was feeling cloudy and her eyes were sunken. She was waiting for her daughter to "wake up and need me".
"I need her. It’s a beautiful exchange.. only difference is nobody is here to look after me," she said. "Mum where are you?"
Malin went on to share some words of wisdom with her fans and reminded followers to look after themselves with walks, fresh air, meditation and more.
The star said it's "easy to crash" without self-care and said it gets "nasty" when she crashes.
"I become depressed, weak tired and anxious. I think about my past and my loneliness sweeps in," she said.
"Our minds are a powerful game. We live in our own heads rent-free so we may as well try make it a good place to be. Today I accept defeat on the energy front but I know I won’t always feel like this. I’ll ride it out… until I’m ok again. Refreshed and ready to go.
"Being a Mumma is beautiful. But we sometimes don’t realise how hard it is until we stop to think and turn off auto-pilot."
Malin said: "I wanted this to remind you that you’re doing fucking amazing. The universe is watching you and your angels are protecting you. Please look after yourself."
