Tyler Baltierra"s Latest Tweets Have Fans Concerned About His Health

Tyler Baltierra is one of the more beloved husbands in the Teen Mom franchise in large part due to how candid he’s been regarding his struggles with mental illness.


Last month, Baltierra revealed that he suffers from bipolar disorder, and he was widely applauded for helping to de-stigmatize the condition by discussing it openly.



Of course, now fans are on the alert and many have been looking for signs of a manic or depressive episodes in every word that Tyler posts on his social media accounts.


Rumors that Baltierra is suicidal have been circulating for the past week, and it seems his latest tweets have only led to increased concern from some of his followers.


The strange thing is, the tweet that’s attracting the most attention sees Tyler revealing one of his favorite therapeutic activities.


“I have always loved writing & as a kid I used to write poetry, I had pages full of it!” Baltierra wrote.


“But I gave it up when I got a little older & ended up throwing it all away. I’ve been inspired recently to pick it back up & I’m on a mission to refill my notebook! #SelfCare #MyOwnTherapy”



On its own, the tweet would likely give the impression that Tyler is in a very good place these days.


But he posted it along with some snippets of his poetry, and fans are worried about the references to suicide and self-harm that appear in Baltierra’s verse.


“From on top of this mountain, I’ll cut these ties, not my wrists,” he writes in one poem.


“I’ll fight with these words, instead of my fists,” he continues.


“I’ll take this newfound strength, leap & fly out of this cage & I’ll make sure I’m the only one who’s in control & I’m the only one who’s turning the page!”



It sounds to us like Tyler’s feeling empowered and optimistic these days, but many of his followers just can’t get over that reference to self-harm.


The issue, it seems, is that suicide is on Tyler’s mind at all, even as an option that he staunchly rejects.


Ever since he went public with his diagnosis of bipolar disorder, fans have been on the lookout for the jarring mood swings that often characterize the disorder.


And many are concerned that self-harm will remain in Baltierra’s thoughts during one of his inevitable depressive lows.


It’s not hard to see why they’re concerned, but ultimately, this amounts to armchair psychotherapy from people who don’t know enough about Tyler or his condition to make predictions about what will happen next.

Amber Baltierra: Tyler Baltierra"s Sister Enters Rehab for 3 Months

Teen Mom OG viewers will recognize Amber Baltierra, the sister of Tyler Baltierra.


While Tyler has recently discussed the fact that he is bipolar, Amber has her own troubles. Hers, it seems, have been getting worse.


And now it is revealed that she will be checking herself in to a 90-day stint in rehab. But why?



Amber tells fans that she is going away by sharing a couple of (filtered) photos of her children, writing on Instagram:


“These two. They are my rock. My motivation. My inspiration.”


That’s exactly what we want to hear from any parent.


“The reason I breathe and wake up every day.”


At times, her message slips from being about her children to being directed at her children.


“Mommy loves you [two] more than you guys may know right now.”


She says that she is doing this for them.


“You both deserve nothing but the best and I will give that to you.”






In talking about how much she will miss her kids, she reveals how long she will be away.


“I’m gonna miss you these 90 days.”


That’s a very long time. But she knows that they will be okay.


“I know dad and everyone else will keep you busy this summer.”


Her thoughts will always be with her children.


“Just know I love you both with every fiber in me.”


This step, which she is taking for herself, will also help her to be their parent.


“When mom gets home she’s gonna be the best woman I can be and an even better mom.”


Teen Mom fans already understand that Catelynn Lowell’s mental illness does not make her a bad mom. So surely they can understand that Amber’s troubles don’t meant hat she loves her kids any less.






She does not explain why she is entering rehab, but she does write:


“I’ll pray for your comfort and happiness everyday I’m not with you.”


That is so sweet.


“Show the world [you’re] my babies and you guys are strong and can get through anything.”


And she shares some words of inspiration with them:


“Because well, you got Baltierra blood and it don’t get stronger than that”






Her estranged husband, Billy Wade Elkins Jr., tells RadarOnline that Amber Baltierra will undergo treatment at a Texas rehab facility. And she’s leaving very soon.


“She’s going to Texas. She leaves Friday.”


Her father, Butch Baltierra, had already confirmed that she would be doing a stint in rehab.


Though Amber did not specify why she is entering rehab, it is reported that this may be for relationship issues as well as alleged drug use.


We hope that this experience helps her.


(Also, check out this throwback that she shared of her and Tyler)



One insider claims to RadarOnline that, in their opinion, Amber is going to rehab as a sort of … vacation?


“I think it’s an excuse to ditch her responsibility as an adult.”


They say that she is no genuinely trying to change.


“Not to really get any help.”


This source does not expect to be overwhelmed by the results of Amber’s 90 days away.


“I’d be very surprised if she came out changed for the better.”






This insider also thinks that it may be some sort of stunt.


“Amber in my opinion is only going to therapy for attention and what it does for the show.”


Overall, this person clearly does not think highly of Amber.


“She’s just irresponsible, immature, so maybe it’ll get her act together.” Yikes.


We wish Amber Baltierra the best of luck during her rehab stint.


We can only imagine how much she will miss her children. She’s planning to be gone until August, folks.


And while we’re sure that Tyler understands, Catelynn Lowell only returned from rehab last February. Now, his sister is entering a facility.


It’s good that they’re getting help, but he has to be missing these important figures in his life while they’re away.
