has returned to social media just days after breaking down in tears and announcing a month long break.
The podcaster had resurfaced, posting a fun video in which she and boyfriend Adam Hyde were dancing together before attending a wedding.
'Wedding time!!!! With my angel' the 29-year-old podcaster captioned the energetic clip.
Some of her followers were unimpressed to see Abbie back so quickly after her breakdown and shared their thoughts in her comments.
'Short break from socials. Crying in a car, nek minute uploading a video dancing in a hotel. The level of contradiction is sending me' one person wrote.

'I thought you weren't posting for a month?' another person asked.
'The social media break didn't happen. Here you are again, just no tears this time' one more commented.
'What happened to leaving socials? Couldn't even last a day hahahaha' another said.
'So we not taking a break, another attention seeking move' commented yet one more.
Others were very supportive, with several pointing out that Abbie specified her break would not start till later in the week.
'Love this! Glad you give zero f**ks about your daily jellly haters and still show up! No flies on you my babe' one said.
Another wrote: 'You guys are stunning and your energy is beautiful'.
Abbie post comes days after she revealed that she is taking a break from social media after what she says has been a 'horrible year.'
The influencer shared an expansive and emotional video to TikTok in which she outlined the reasoning behind her decision.
She said that 'endless trolling' from 'right-wing freaks' had finally reached breaking point and that she needs time away from social media to 'protect her brain.'
Over the next four weeks, Abbie's social media feeds will only feature pre-recorded clips for her It's A Lot Podcast.
'For the next month, I'm not going to be posting on social media at all except for pre-scheduled content for the podcast,' she revealed.
'I really need time off from the internet - like desperately.'
Giving followers an insight into the level of trolling, Abbie said that the amount of abuse she receives online was 'endless'.
'It's been really horrific this past six months with the amount of violent trolling that I have received,' she said.
'It's hundreds of messages a day. It's really traumatising and I don't like saying that because I know that trolls want to hurt me.
'Ever since the end of last year the trolling has become increasingly violent and aggressive from people that don't like me. It's constant...all day, every day.'
Abbie continued: 'Just imagine if every single day you received a hundred texts saying that people were going to SA [sexually assault] you, people want to be violent towards you, people hate you.
'I cant even enjoy TikTok because my for you page is videos about me - people making fun of me.'
She also claimed that the vitriol had gotten so bad over the past year that she has even experienced suicidal ideation.
'I haven't really gone a day in the past eight months without having thoughts of un-aliving myself so, I really need a break because, when I get to have a day off without my phone, I'm able to get back to being normal,' Abbie tearfully admitted.
'I'm sick of being lied about, I'm sick of being attacked by right wing freaks and losers.'
Abbie also revealed that she was currently in the process of writing a book - a process made almost impossible when coupled with the emotional drain of dealing with internet trolls.
'I've decided to put in like a boundary for myself to protect my brain because it's been extraordinarily difficult this year and it's incredibly exhausting,' she said.
'I'm also writing a book right now and, in order to write the book I need to be mentally clear because the constant criticism I receive makes me paralysed to write or actually do anything because I believe I am what everyone says I am.'
Abbie's emotional admission comes after her online rival Clementine Ford defended Abbie amid their ongoing internet stoush.
The pair have been exchanging barbs for weeks after Clementine accused Abbie of profiting from the 'performance of being politically engaged'.
However, the pair have appeared to have found some common ground, with Clementine defending Abbie in an explosive response to an online troll.
She shared an image to her Instagram story on Thursday that showed a very off-colour remark by a troll account called 'Right Of Centre'.
The comment read: 'Two ugly xx trolls. Men should not help them at all.
'If they're being mugged they're not worth it - too ugly - only good looking nice women deserve chivalry on any level.'
Clementine responded swiftly, slamming the commenter as an 'incel creep'.
'Regardless of my views on AC [Abbie Chatfield], I'm pretty sure neither of us need or have ever needed nor have ever asked for men to help us - especially not weird little incel creeps who blame women for their basement position on the male hierarchy,' she said.
'F*** off, loser. We both know you would p*** your pants in fear if one of us even looked in your direction.'
Abbie and Clementine's feud began when the latter wrote on her 'Dear Clementine' blog on Substack that some influencers, like Abbie, profit from the 'performance of being politically engaged' while criticising anyone who disagrees with them.
