"Thank you to my beautiful angel amazing friend who is the king of recovery @dj_fattony_ for helping me get to this point.
"I had a big wobble this weekend with the sun out and having no kids but I don't want to get back of the hamster wheel of death [sic]."
Tanya continued: "Drunk beer fear, anxiety, depressed, drama, sick, tired, then feel better then back to drunk.
"Any tips or advice on getting through wobbles greatly welcome."
The football mum was flooded with messages of support, with her co-star and pal Deborah Davies commenting: "We got to Anglesey last night, calm sea, blue sky, dogs chilling on the decking, Pete went to the pub, I said I wasn’t going, had no alcohol, I love sparkling water with a slice of Sicilian lemon."
While Lystra Adams shared a string of clapping and heart emojis.
"Proud of you Bardo, you're an inspiration," gushed another.

"I just went back to basics, I had a breakdown and sort of breaking free now, I might eventually get another shop back, it is in some stores and it's online but that has a lot of people to look after it."
She went on to say that she was in "a bad way" while filming the show, explaining: "Part of ADHD, I was always taking on more stuff and with the Housewives, I have enough arguments in my own head so I don't have any space to have any other arguments with other people."
