Teddi Mellencamp, the reality star who’s built an empire out of both fitness coaching and stirring up drama on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has yet again found herself in the spotlight—not for her latest workout challenge or controversial take on health, but for something a bit more personal. This time, she’s opening up about her struggles with anxiety after filing for divorce from her husband, Edwin Arroyave, in November 2024, following 13 years of marriage.
It seems Teddi Mellencamp’s not just battling her usual dose of “motivational speaker” overreach, but also the fallout of her personal life. But of course, true to form, she’s made sure to share her vulnerability with the world. The 43-year-old took to Instagram to reveal she’d been waking up in the middle of the night with “raging anxiety,” reminding everyone she wasn’t seeking sympathy, just offering a little relatability for those who might also be going through the emotional chaos of a breakup—especially one that might involve a few more messy details than she’s letting on.
In her Instagram post, she mentioned common symptoms of anxiety, including trouble concentrating, heart palpitations, and a sense of impending doom—experiences that many can empathize with. She also gave some “helpful tips” on how to deal with it, which seem to include everything from meditation to a fresh dose of gratitude for her health, her kids, and the fact that she can still go back to work. Pretty standard fare for someone trying to look on the bright side—though we wonder if a little more self-reflection and less social media might be more beneficial.
And as always, Teddi’s quick to share her gratitude—though, this time, it’s not just for her kids or health but also for the fact that she “goes back to work today.” Maybe taking a little more time for actual healing would do her well, instead of jumping right back into the spotlight.
