'I'm Done': Amber Gets Honest About Her Teen Mom OG Future

Amber has mentioned this season on Teen Mom OG that she’s the happiest she’s ever been with Andrew and Baby James. However yet still, she’s been struggling with postpartum depression since her son’s birth, and her indications intensified so much on tonight’s season finale that she contemplated suicide and debated leaving the MTV series.

Any time Cate got word of Amber’s situation, she flew out Indiana to help her pal, and Amber promptly opened up to her.


“I just happen to be on a very popular show with a mental illness that is real. It’s complete sabotage as soon as you’re called a horrible mom [online] every day,” she told Cate. “This show has ruined my name. This show hasn't shown who I am as a person. They don’t show the funny side of me. I’m f*cking over it. Honestly.”


Amber then mentioned in a voiceover that she went on a filming hiatus, and she later told producer Larry that she wanted to “separate [herself] from this show.”


“I just don’t feel like this is right for my life anymore,” she instructed him by means of the phone. “I think you guys want a certain sort of story that I just don't wish to give you anymore... This is my life... I need time to f*cking think. Event in case you've got to do what you've got to do on your end, then f*cking do it. I’m done.”
