HOLLY Hagan has been flooded with support from fans after revealing an “overwhelming” diagnosis.
The Geordie Shore star, 32, took to Instagram to share the update with fans, explaining it took six months to finally be given some answers.
Revealing that she’s been diagnosed with ADHD, Holly told how it was only after having son Alpha Jax – who she shares with husband Jacob Blythe – in June 2023 – that she realised she “wasn’t functioning well”.
She said: “Starting my 2025 with an ADHD diagnosis. The constant overwhelm, disorganisation, insomnia, misdiagnosed anxiety, previous EDs, inability to focus, forgetfulness, object permanence meaning I literally forget people exist!
“I’ve been so incredibly good at masking all of these years and my job has allowed me so much freedom to not get overwhelmed.”
Holly shared that before her diagnosis she struggled with sleep and only had “one good night’s sleep in 2024”.
The reality star asked fans who have had similar experiences to share any tips with her.
She said: “These last 6 months have been super intense and even though I am nervous to post this, I wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t for all the other women sharing their journey and symptoms.”
Fans rushed to comment on Holly’s post, with one writing: “thanks for coming forward with this x.”
Another said: “There is a massive community online keep sharing your experiences & the community will come, it really helps to have people who understand xx.”
And a third added: “You are not alone in this. It is so brave to post this and encourage everyone else.”
Holly’s news comes after she showed off an impressive three stone weight loss and revealed one of her goals was to naturally reduce her Brazilian Bum Life [BBL] surgery.
Sharing her progress on Instagram, she said: “16 months post partum and 47lb difference.
“I’ve been grafting my a*** off (literally) to reduce my bbl naturally after gaining weight in pregnancy and the majority going to my bum.”
