"Let’s talk about PTSD. Never talked about it publicly," Griffin began her video. "I think this is the place to do it because I've seen a lot of videos and stuff."

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

"So I would love to hear from you guys about —," added Griffin before getting side tracked by someone off camera talking about their dogs. "Yeah, I'll feed the dogs."

The Fashion Police alum explained to her followers with a "wink" that, "If any of you know my story, you'll understand this really started for me about five and 1/2 years ago."

Griffin seemed to be referring to around the time that she posed for a photo holding a replica of former President Donald Trump's severed head. The embattled star faced immediate backlash both in her personal and professional life for her controversial decision.

Aside from CNN giving Griffin the boot from co-hosting its New Year’s Eve special, she was placed on a no-fly list as the Secret Service investigated her and lost several stand-up comedy gigs.

In addition to fighting to save her career and reputation, Griffin was also diagnosed with stage 1 cancer in 2021, which she noted in her TikTok "didn't help" her current health situation.

"Alright, I look forward to reading your comments," Griffin concluded her video from earlier this month.
