During the reunion special, both Tyler and Catelynn sat down with host Dr. Drew to discuss their emotional season. After Tyler recalled his bout with suicidal attempts at the young age of 12-years-old, Catelynn shockingly opened up about her bout with postpartum depression and how she once contemplated suicide after the birth of their daughter Novalee.
Catelynn told Dr. Drew, “It’s hard, I didn't want to do anything. I couldn't even emotionally or physically take care of my own self."
Catelynn recalled the moment she contemplated suicide telling Dr. Drew, "I remember sitting in the bathtub and thinking, ‘I’m not waking up another day feeling like this.’”
As fans may recall back in December 2015, Catelynn first confirmed her struggles with postpartum Depression (PPD) during a book signing in New York. Catelynn reportedly told a fan, "I recognized it nine months after [Novalee] was born."
While Catelynn admits that she has to take prescribed antidepressants to help ease her struggles with postpartum depression, she says her biggest supporter of all is her husband. “Tyler is my backbone and helps me a lot,” adding, “He pushes me and will make me do things like go for a walk so [the depression] goes away.”
