I LOVE MY WINNIE. Lil Bo Weep."
Just last week, Lil Bo Weep opened up about her struggles in a video posted to her Instagram. In the video, she revealed that she had been "crying all day" over the loss of her child. She captioned the post: "btw im NOT high, I am heavily dosed on seroquel to avoid any psychosis from my CPTSD. Not only have I been mourning my child, I have recently found out my fertility has been affected by growing up with a severe eating disorder." She further shared, "If you so so so any sort of a ninja Cerner, I recommend to really think about what you’re doing to yourself because I may never be able to have a full term pregnancy or have a child of my own due to the way I treated my body."
