"I have no motivational quote or whole-hearted insight into how to stay strong through struggles because the truth is it stinks. You don’t always feel strong or have the capacity to be strong when you feel like you have hit rock bottom," Holly explained.
He further added that she was hit with a recent diagnosis that left her drained and incapable of opening up about it.
"I’ve always been very open and honest about my health journey and my relationship with type 1 diabetes, but for the last month, I have been struggling to come to terms with a recent diagnosis and, in turn, have been struggling to share anything."
Holly previously opened up about having to travel with a doctor who is always by her side when she os feeling under the weather.
