Valerie Bertinelli's 'emotionally excruciating' year had star struggling to get out of bed

Valerie Bertinelli shares her emotional journey and personal growth over eight months, offering advice on self-worth and relationships amidst her struggles.

Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. 

"I go back and forth and hesitate sharing vulnerable posts like I so often used to because I put the useless opinions of the minimal creepers above the many of you who have made this page so special," she began her lengthy Instagram post. "Those of you who understand and feel not so alone by sharing your own struggles too."

"I started two jobs in different states and writing my new book all while going through some of the most emotionally excruciating eight months of my life," Bertinelli, who joined "The Drew Barrymore Show" as a lifestyle expert and began hosting the Game Show Network's "Bingo Blitz," said. "And I still got my exhausted, sleepless ass up in the morning, put on a good face, and showed up, when all I wanted to do was stay in bed and sob."
