Abbie Chatfield has come down with an illness that is making her feel so unwell she is considering a hospital visit.
The 29-year-old posted to Instagram Stories on Thursday night revealing she has a bad stomach bug.
‘Huge news. I have a sudden onset stomach flu and I vomited out of my nose’ she wrote, posting from her sick bed.
‘Even a drop of water in my stomach makes me writhe in pain. At what point do I go to hospital if this doesn’t stop?’ she asked.
Abbie added that her dog Walter, and her boyfriend Adam Hyde, are nursing her back to health.
‘It’s so cute Walter has slept next to me in bed all night because I was crying and vomiting. He is usually in his crate but he is taking care of mummy’ she said.

‘Adam is here too He did my skincare for me in bed and out me oranges to suck on (That I vomited up 20 min later)’.
By Friday, Abbie appeared to be on the mend and appeared to have avoided a hospital visit.
Abbie has had a bad run with her health in the past.
The star was rushed to hospital following her partner Adam’s live DJ set in Sydney last year when she suffered a ‘bad’ urinary tract infection (UTI).
The media personality shared a video of herself lying in a hospital bed as her musician boyfriend fed her chips.
Saying she was a ‘princess in hospital’, the FBoy Island host kept the camera trained on herself as she smiled up at her beau who was dutifully hand feeding her.
‘DW it’s just a bad UTI and I didn’t have to stay the night!’ she explained to her followers of her condition.
A UTI is an infection most commonly seen in women which occurs when bacteria enters the urethra and spreads through to the bladder.

Abbie Chatfield breaks her silence after her emotional suicide admission
According to the Mayo Clinic, infection can happen anywhere in the urinary system – kidney, ureters, bladder and urethra – but mostly occurs in the lower urinary tract.
A UTI is generally painful, with symptoms becoming worse if the infection is left untreated and allowed to spread to the kidneys.
Earlier this month, Abbie revealed she was furious after Instagram removed her post in which she bravely discussed her struggles with suicidal thoughts.
The Bachelor star tearfully spoke about her mental health on her It’s A Lot podcast on Tuesday after a man ‘harassed’ her at the n Open.
She candidly detailed her struggles with suicidal thoughts as a result of trolling, and dealing with the trauma of domestic violence in a past relationship.
But after sharing a clip of the episode to Instagram, Abbie was left enraged after the social media platform seemingly removed it mere hours later.
Abbie took to her Stories to share a screenshot showing Instagram informing her that her post had been removed. She did not specify the reason it was taken down.
In a caption, Abbie fumed that her video had been removed while online trolls are still able to share cruel content about her.

She raged: ‘Sorry? Love that I can be attacked and bullied on this app with people harassing me daily but I can’t share merely how I FEEL??’
Abbie re-shared the video to her It’s A Lot podcast’s Instagram page without the accompanying caption and urged her followers to watch it there instead.
The post’s removal came just hours after she first posted the video, in which she candidly discussed her struggles with suicidal thoughts and anxiety.
During the podcast, Abbie addressed an incident at the n Open, where a man ‘harassed’ her while she was working and filmed her.
After the clip was shared online, Abbie tearfully spoke about the resulting backlash, including that of former AFL player Jed Lamb, who had commented on the video that she ‘sucked’.
Abbie was overwhelmed with emotion as she revealed the n Open incident came at a time when she was already struggling psychologically with online trolling.
‘The day before he uploaded that, I was with my therapist speaking about my suicidal ideations to do with all this trolling, to do with feeling like I’m always surveilled, to do with feeling like no matter what I do I’m going to get trolled,’ she shared.
‘Even when I’m not saying or doing anything ‘”controversial”‘, I still get attacked and abused and trolled, and I’m just f**king over it. I’m really f**king exhausted.’

‘At the moment, my suicidal thoughts are rampant. My resting thought is ‘”f**k, I’d love to take a pill and just go to sleep and not wake up, that would be so nice”,’ she went on.
‘When I’m anxious, I think about ending my own life because of this trolling and because of all the things I’ve listed.
‘It’s been a slow burn and I’m just at a point where I’m like ‘”I can’t do this anymore, I can’t deal with this anymore, I’m really tired.”‘
The podcaster also detailed how she has been left traumatised and suffering with PTSD because of domestic violence in a past relationship.
She explained how people expect her to be happy because she has found love with musician Adam, however Abbie is still affected by her past.
‘There’s this idea that now that with Adam and in a happy and safe relationship, everything is fine and all my PTSD is reversed and everything is happy, happy and I’m able to move on from that abusive relationship,’ she shared.
‘It’s getting better but it’s not just ‘”you’ve got a happy boyfriend now, so everything’s fine.”‘
‘Any issues that me and Adam have end up getting tainted by – I’m not overreacting or being crazy but my anxieties – I get very scared about certain things and overapologise.’
Abbie said she tried EMDR therapy – which helps people process traumatic memories and is used to treat PTSD – but it opened her mind up to more ‘flashbacks’ and made things worse for her.
