Teddi Mellencamp detailed her recent struggles with anxiety to help others battling ups and downs with mental health.

“Woke up today at 3 a.m. with raging anxiety,” Mellencamp, 43, wrote via her Instagram Story on Monday, January 6.

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star noted she wasn’t sharing the update for “pity,” but rather to connect with “anyone else who woke” with any of the same symptoms.

Mellencamp proceeded to outline symptoms of anxiety disorders including “trouble concentrating or making decisions” and “feeling irritable, tense or restless.”

Amanda Edwards/Getty Images Teddi Mellencamp’s love of horses hasn’t wavered since news broke last month of her alleged affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder. Mellencamp, 43, enjoyed an afternoon at the stables on Sunday, December 22, with her daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 4, according to her Instagram Stories. “Frog Santa is my fave […]

“Experiencing nausea or abdominal distress. Having heart palpitations. Sweating, trembling or shaking,” she listed as additional experiences someone may encounter while battling anxiety. “Trouble sleeping. Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom.”

The reality star — who is currently navigating her divorce from estranged husband Edwin Arroyave — went on to tell her followers what to do to counteract an anxiety episode.

“We are OK, and we will get over this hump,” she wrote. Mellencamp then outlined her seven steps to overcome the symptoms, including mediating and making gratitude lists.

“I am grateful for my health, my kids, that I go back to work together, people who make me laugh and understand anxiety isn’t a choice,” she shared.

No. 3 on her list is working out “in some capacity” which is followed by doing a cold plunge. “Being able to hug someone I love. [Getting] fresh air. Setting boundaries,” rounded out her self-help tips.

Mellencamp also gave her All in My Teddi team, which is her accountability coaching company, praise for “holding me accountable to doing the above” before showing her followers some of her steps in action.

Mellencamp kicked off her Monday by running on the treadmill and gave her therapist a shout-out via her Instagram Story. She then documented doing a cold plunge. “Taking action,” she wrote alongside the clip.

“Here we go. We are back at it. Back to work,” Mellencamp said in a separate social media video while getting ready to tape a new episode of “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast with Tamra Judge after a two-week break. “It’s been a minute.”

Mellencamp’s vulnerable post about her anxiety comes two months after she announced in November 2024 that she and Arroyave, 47, were getting divorced after 13 years of marriage.

She initially filed for sole physical and legal custody of the pair’s three children — Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4 — but changed her petition later that month. Mellencamp is now asking the court for joint physical and legal custody.

Teddi Mellencamp has addressed her affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder. “The only person who can change your life is you. We have 2 options, pretend to be a victim or stand up and fight for yourself. We all deserve peace and happiness,” Mellencamp, 43, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, November 24. “I have […]

Arroyave, who is also the father of daughter Isabella from a previous relationship, asked for joint legal and physical custody of his and Mellencamp’s children when he submitted his own filing in November 2024.

Although a source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time that the exes “wanted to keep this amicable for the children,” their split has been messy.

Mellencamp raised eyebrows shortly after filing for divorce when news broke that she had an affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder, prior to the breakup.

“Simon and Teddi had a thing several months ago but it’s not still happening,” an insider exclusively told Us in November 2024, claiming that Mellencamp and Arroyave were both unfaithful during their marriage.

The source claimed that this was “the first and only time” Mellencamp “strayed outside the marriage.”

A second insider alleged that Arroyave “insists he has not had an affair since” he cheated on Mellencamp eight years prior, claiming he has been “focused on family and faith,” following his infidelity.

Mellencamp, meanwhile, publicly addressed her divorce and hinted at the rumors about her affair during an episode of podcast that same month. “I’m not going to confirm or deny anything,” she said at the time.

Last month, Mellencamp gave a little more insight into her current living situation, revealing on an episode of “Diamonds in the Rough” podcast that she is living part-time with Kyle Richards.

  Teddi Mellencamp is leaning on Kyle Richards following her separation from her husband Edwin Arroyave. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 43, revealed that she is living part-time with Richards, 55, at her Beverly Hills home as she and Arroyave, 47, split time in their marital home with their kids. “They know that […]

“Some places you can just file for divorce … in California, there’s a six-month cooling-off period,” she told the listeners during the December 2024 episode. “During that six months, you can do a multitude of things. The way I learned about nesting was one of my good girlfriends, she’s a divorce coach. She told me about nesting. It’s where the kids stay [in the marital home] and the parents come and go.”

Mellencamp said that was what she and Arroyave agreed upon so they can “be there for sporting events” and other milestones. “We’re completely happy to be around one another,” she claimed.

As Mellencamp began “nesting” with Arroyave, Us confirmed that her horse trainer’s wife, Karli Schroeder, filed for divorce on December 30, 2024. She listed their date of separation as September 22, 2024.

Simon and Karli share daughter Lena, 3, and son Henry, 7 months. Karli is seeking primary physical custody of the two children and joint legal custody, according to court docs obtained by Us. She is also asking for spousal support and that Simon pay her attorney fees.
