Catelynn Lowell Post-Rehab: I"m Not Cured, But I"m Getting Better

In March, Catelynn Lowell entered rehab in Arizona to focus on her mental health.



“I went for just mental illness, panic attacks and depression and I was there for 30 days,” Lowell told OK! Magazine.


“It went well, they taught me lots of different things, I learned lots of good things.” 


Lowell warned that while she’s doing well, she’s not fully recovered. 



“Obviously it was going to be a work in progress, but as of now, things are going really good,” she said.


“I think the plus of me being so open and honest about it is it shows the truth of what it looks like to struggle with postpartum depression, and not even just postpartum depression, but also depression and panic attack disorder which I have.”


Lowell hopes her public struggle will cause fans to realize that it’s OK to admit that they’re battling a mental illness, and that getting help doesn’t make them weak.



“I think it’s good that I go out and show the truth because if anything, I feel like it’s going to help someone else and push them to go find the help that they need or inspire them to know they are not alone,” she said.


Lowell’s husband, Tyler Baltierra has been nothing but supportive of her.  He updated fans on Lowell’s health while she was away, and admitted that even thought it can get tough at times, he’ll never give up on her.


Last month, Baltierra wrote a beautiful tribute to his wife on Instagram celebrating more than ten years together.


“Today marks 11 years together with this amazing, selfless, beautiful & courageous soul.


“11 years ago today, me & Cate sat outside on the curb in the trailer park & decided to be “boyfriend & girlfriend” & to look at us now, more than a decade later, is very surreal,” he wrote.



“They say teenage love doesn’t last & that fairytale endings only happen in the movies…but I’m telling you, I’m living proof that it’s possible.


“As long as 2 people commit to each other 100% & unconditionally love each other…nothing can break the spiritual bond created between them.


“Our relationship has gone through devastating lows that would tear a “normal” couple apart…but we are far from normal.


“Our spirits will forever be in a continuous unity & our love for each other will nurture that unity.


I am so honored & blessed to have experienced the last 11 years of my life with a godsend angel that was destined to be cherished by me.


“I love you @catelynnmtv #HappyAnniversary #11Years.”

Josh Duggar: Strict Post-Rehab Rules Revealed!

It’s been two months since we first learned that Josh Duggar had been released from rehab and had returned to his hometown of Tontitown Arkansas.



At first, Josh kept a very low profile.


It was an understandable decision, as we imagine it’s not easy being a known sex offender (who was never punished for his crimes) in a town of 2,400.


After a few weeks, however, Josh decided that he couldn’t spend his life lurking in the shadows, peering out on his small southern town like some far creepier version of Boo Radley.


Eventually, the time came for him to venture back out into the world.


So Josh (or someone in his family) decided he should do so far, far from home.


First, Josh was spotted playing mini-golf in a Tennessee suburb.


Taking a child molester to a mini-golf course is a bit like bringing Dracula to a blood bank, but hey, maybe it was meant to be some sort of test.


From there, the silent apology tour rolled on, with Josh rearing his head in various locales, all far from Tontitown, where the townsfolk are presumably awaiting his return with torches and pitchforks.


Earlier this week, Josh was spotted spending time with Anna Duggar’s family in Florida.


It was a surprising sight, as shortly after word got around that Josh used an Ashley Madison account to cheat on the mother of his four children, several members of Anna’s family publicly bashed Josh.


Well according to at least one tabloid report, the reunion didn’t go as smoothly as the Duggars would have us believe.



“He tried to talk to Anna’s sister Susanna, saying he was sorry he hadn’t talked to her since everything happened, and it got really awkward,” a source close to the situation tells In Touch.


“She stopped him and said, ‘You don’t have to apologize to me. If you’d had an affair on me, we wouldn’t be married anymore.’”


Josh didn’t fare much better with Anna’s brother:


“Josh tried to sit next to Daniel at a restaurant,” says the insider. “Daniel got up and moved to another table.”


No big surprise there, as Anna’s siblings were among the many who encouraged her to divorce Josh after he was busted cheating.


Apparently, the only reason they were cool with him coming to stay with them even briefly is that he’s agreed to a strict set of post rehab rules enforced by Anna.


Basically, he’s rarely allowed out of her sight, and his digital communications are closely monitored.


The insider says Josh is allowed to have a cell phone, but it’s of the old-school variety:


“It’s not a smartphone. He isn’t allowed to have one of those,” says the source. “He has a little phone with a tiny screen and he can’t send or receive picture messages on it.”


Looks like that “trust” Anna talked about isn’t quite there yet.
