Kath Ebbs has opened up their mental health struggles following a painful split from US singer JoJo Siwa, who has since moved on with Chris Hughes.
The 27-year-old Australian influencer, who uses they/them pronouns, shared an Instagram Stories post on Monday and admitted to feeling 'under the weather' both physically and mentally.
Kath, who officially parted company with JoJo in April, also confessed to experiencing 'panic attacks' and being in a 'constant state of overwhelm'.
'Woke up feeling super under the weather both physically and mentally,' they wrote alongside an image in which they were cuddled up with their cat.
Kath continued, 'I think I have a habit of acting like I'm fine and everything's a bit funny then it will all just randomly hit me at once.'

Kath, who confirmed their split with JoJo last month after the Dance Moms star called things off, detailed their health challenges in the lengthy post.
'Been struggling with night time panic attacks lately (the girls that get it, get it),' they said.
'I hate the feeling of my body acting against me (when it's in fact trying to protect me.) I've just been in a perpetual state of overwhelm for a while, I don't think I know what's what anymore.
'Someone asked me recently why I seem so chill about stuff and I replied that I just pretend it's not me going through it, it's someone I know but it's not my life and that I've been doing that since I was a kid when life got ugly.'
Kath ended the post with a tribute to their supporters and others who might experiencing similar challenges.
'Anyways a little honesty diary. Big love to my other disassociate peeps, it's not a nice way to exist but remember it's just your brain trying to protect you from experiencing the pain. Like a little friend' Kath wrote.
'Slow down, connect with people that really love you, drink some water and get outside even if it's just for 10minutes. Also put the phone down (talking to myself!!)
Kath signed off, 'Love you guys, Kath x.'
In the wake of JoJo and Chris Hughes going official last month, Kath, who is non-binary, took to Instagram to take a subtle dig at their former partner
It comes after Kath appeared to be living their best life following a high profile split from JoJo.
The American dancer, 22, raised eyebrows during her stint on UK Celebrity Big Brother after forming a close bond with Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, whilst still being in a relationship with Kath.
While they repeatedly insisted their relationship was platonic, before and after JoJo broke up with Kath at the Big Brother wrap party, the duo have since 'confirmed' their relationship late last month.
In the wake of the news, Kath, who is non-binary, took to Instagram to take a subtle dig at their former partner, sharing videos and photos of their 'joyful' post-breakup life in Sydney.
The video shared showed Kath happily cuddling two women in a kitchen, who were revealed to be Kath's ex-partner and the ex partner's wife.
Kath looked chuffed to be in such supportive company with the video showing the trio huddling close as George Michael's Father Figure played over the scene.
'Sapphic love is your ex and their new wife nursing you through a breakup,' Kath said in a pointed reference to JoJo coming out as 'not a lesbian'.
Kath's posts come after they recently responded to speculation that the singer and Chris had confirmed their romance with a subtle dig on social media.
Kath and JoJo ended their six month relationship almost immediately after the Dance Moms star left CBB, despite Chris insisting that their relationship in the house was 'platonic'.
Speculation has been rife ever since, with fans insisting that JoJo and Chris had already begun a romance.
In late May, the pair seemingly confirmed they are an item, with a slew of images taken after Chris flew to the US for JoJo's 22nd birthday.
