She reassured her audience: “It might be that I haven’t got that, and I’ve got undiagnosed ADHD. It might just be that I hadn’t had enough sleep. I’m not sure. It could be all of those things.”

With a comforting tone, she concluded: “We’re all mad here aren’t we. It’s all good now, I just wanted to… you know… in case anyone’s having a bad day, you’re not alone.”

In her caption, Cordingly sent a virtual “big hug” to those grappling with their own emotions and stressed the normality of feeling overwhelmed at times, reports Belfast Live.

Her words in the caption were encouraging: “I’m not sharing this for any other reason than to say: you’re not alone, this too shall pass, I feel completely mental a LOT of the time and hang in there,” she penned. “You’re normal. It’s normal.”

Beth concluded her heartfelt post with a candid admission: “This is me: I’m often thrilled with happiness and other times completely disabled by panic or crying for no apparent reason. I basically think I’m a little bit insane…and that’s ok.

“It could just be a bad day. If that’s your today, then my hope for you is that tomorrow will be kinder. It was for me. Today I’m smiling. Sending y’all a big hug.”

Her followers rallied around her, showing their support in the comments section. One person expressed gratitude, saying: “Thank you for sharing your anxiety struggles, it means a lot coming from someone like yourself who’s on tv. I have a lot of those days.”

Another shared their appreciation: “Needed to hear this, thanks for always sharing Lots of love,” while a third praised her openness: “Love your honesty in sharing, it’s easy to think famous people are indestructible but you human like the rest of us, thank you.”
