Bachelor Nation star Kaitlyn Bristowe alarmed fans after sharing candid insight into her headspace. Bristowe, 40, took to Instagram on Sunday, February 8, to share a series of disturbing images including a candle smashed on the ground, herself in a medical gown and her face drenched in tears. She captioned the carousel, which disabled comments, with an equally cryptic yet emotional message. "Humor helps, and I believe I have been handling a lot with grace, but ... I have to be honest. I'm feeling really down, challenged, stuck, and hard on myself.
