Kathy Griffin, 62, had an eight-hour anxiety attack after she was diagnosed with an extreme case of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

According to reports, the comedian has experienced a rough few years after she was diagnosed with cancer in 2021.

She recently took to social media and explained that she was suffering from an extreme case of PTSD.

“Let’s talk about PTSD,” Griffin said in the video. “Never talked about it publicly.”

“You can laugh or whatever, but I’ve been diagnosed with complex PTSD, and it’s called an extreme case,” she continued.

“If any of you know my story, you’ll understand that this really started for me about five and a half years ago. Wink,” she added, referring to the criticism she faced in 2017 after posing for a photo with a replica of former President Donald Trump.

After that incident, her career almost fell apart as she lost multiple hosting gigs and work deals.

Griffin was also fired from her gig cohosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve special and was even investigated by the Secret Service.

Many of her theater shows were pulled out ad she was also put on a ‘No-Fly’ list.

In a 2022 Newsweek op-ed, the comedian explained the impact of her ‘erasure.’

“Now, we’re in such a time, exacerbated by social media, where we really have this universal lack of forgiveness,” she said.

In another TikTok video, the 62-year-old talked about her PTSD. “Since I’ve been talking on here about PTSD, I had a freaking eight-hour attack yesterday. Eight hours of freaking writhing in pain in the bed,” she expressed.

“So today I felt like one might be coming on so I started to feel a little iffy, so I’m on my walk now,” she added.

“I’m outside and looking at the ocean, which is helpful, and I’m sort of almost mid-anxiety attack right now. It feels good to be walking my way through it. I just keep telling myself it won’t last forever.”
