KERRY Katona's fans have rallied around the star after she opened up about her bipolar battle on Instagram.
The 36-year-old former Atomic Kitten singer has previously revealed that she is on medication for the disorder and is "not ashamed to admit that".
She was diagnosed back in 2005 and her five children are aware of her condition.
Kerry shared a make-up-free selfie of herself frowning as she lay down on the sofa.
The singer commented: "Feeling blue 😩 bi-polar is a b***h!";
But her 38,400 followers were incredibly supportive and hoped that she felt better soon.
One commented: "Huge hugs sweetheart. I hope you rest tonight and just have a day for you tomorrow xxx."

But we still keep going! and wait for it to pass and to get through each day is a blessing. Truly am thinking of you. By the way, you were amazing on This Morning programme and you look fantastic !!

This morning Kerry appeared to be feeling better and shared a snap of herself running as she smiled at the camera.
She commented: "Just taking that first step is a battle almost won! 👊🏻💪🙏👌🙏🙏🙏🙏morning all.. out to change the world 😘🙏😘🙏😘."
Last month she spoke to Ruth Langsford and Philip Schofield about her Bipolar disorder, blaming her medication for that infamous slurring interview eight years ago.
Phillip was forced to stop the chat to ask her if she was feeling OK, as she struggled to form her words clearly.
“It was eight years ago when I was slurring and that was due to medication, pure medication,” she insisted.
“Even now I have episodes where I talk a million miles an hour. I’m still on medication and I’m not ashamed to admit that.”
Kerry is supporting Prince William’s Heads Together campaign to raise awareness of mental illnesses.
