“I’d sit there with my multiple double vodka sodas and get day drunk by myself (this is not a brag lol I was basically a functioning alcoholic),” Teigen continued. “Then buy hats I didn’t like or need at urban outfitters. I still can’t wear hats for some reason. I feel like everyone is judging my hat and I end up screaming ‘I KNOW, IT IS STUPID YOU’RE RIGHT’ and they’re like ‘what? we didn’t even say anything???'”

The TV personality explained how she lately she’s been “reminiscing” about their time in New York, as she talked about trying to cope with the loss of their third child, Jack.

“I’m slightly down lately,” Chrissy wrote. “It kind of started when I was thinking of my book caption and typed out ‘my third baby is here!!,’ as in cookbook, then realized my third baby will never be here. Then I realized I threw myself into the book to not think of the real, actual third baby.”

“I don’t really feel like I fully processed Jack and now that I don’t have the alcohol to numb it away, things are just…there, waiting to be acknowledged,” she added, before concluding her post by stating that “life is so fucking complicated.”

Teigen recently made headlines after she talked about how she could be canceled “forever” following cyberbullying accusations.
