Kaitlyn Bristowe is discussing her battle with anxiety in a lengthy social media post.
The former “Bachelorette” star said that although she’s the happiest she’s been in a while, she has still been letting negative comments get her down recently.
Bristowe, who split from Shawn Booth four months ago, explained in the post: “If I’m being honest, I’ve been having (minor) anxiety the last couple nights. Nothing specific, just worried about a bunch of little things that are out of my control. I caught myself caring what other people were saying about me.. People who DON’T actually care about ME. How ridiculous right?”

Her message also included, “I took a few deep breaths, put my phone down, and got lost in my book. (best feeling ever). Just wanted to share, that even though I am the happiest I’ve been in a while, I’m still human. We all are.”
Bristowe said she now needs to continue to have “self love” and “continue to grow” as a person.
The Canadian reality TV star’s post comes after she and Booth confirmed they were calling off their engagement in a statement to People.

They shared: “After three incredible years, we have decided to go our separate ways. This difficult decision comes after thoughtful, respectful consideration. Even though we are parting as a couple, we’re very much committed to remaining friends and we will continue to support each other.
“Due to the nature of how we met, our relationship has always been very public, and we have enjoyed sharing it with all of you, but we ask that you respect our decision and our privacy at this time.”
