'It's Like A Ticking Time Bomb': Teen Mom OG's Amber Talks About Her Mental State -- And Her Future With Andrew

Amber has opened up about her mental health struggles during the Teen Mom OG season, including an emotional therapy session with Andrew and also discussing her diagnoses with her fellow MTV moms. However on this week’s intense episode, she had an emotional breakthrough with her therapist.


It all started once Amber discussed with Andrew on the way to be able to see her psychiatrist, whom mentioned she required to be able to see more routinely to help get her emotions under control.


“The number one thing I'd like to change about myself [is] I'd like to be happier,” she stated in the vehicle. "I think the worst thing that cripples me, though, is my anxiety. The stress causes anxiety. It makes my head spin. It makes me think 24/7… it’s just hard living a life like this.”


Things took a turn once Amber got angry once her boyfriend made a comment about how other people perceive her, and she instructed him he was complicated to confide in about her anxiety and depression. “It’s like talking to a freaking clown,” she said.


Amber reflected back on the argument later with her therapist, admitting she had been especially “combative,” “enraged” and “irritable” lately. Any time the doc asked the mom of two if she felt like she was ruining any chance of Andrew helping her, she couldn’t help although agree...And break down into tears.


“It’s just going to get to the point that I’m going to sabotage this relationship, which could be horrible,” she cried. "I just wish that I didn’t get freakin’ triggered so with little effort. It’s like a ticking time bomb.”
