‘People think I’m sort of OK you know? Like, I’m getting on with it, I’m snarky now and get, and this is a lapse. But it’s not! This is me all the time now. I’m not well but I remember what it was like to be normal so I do an impression of that.’

‘But this is what I really am and I want to be normal again. But I’m weak you know?’ 

Captioning his post, Freddy penned: ‘As a man, I bottle up my emotions and hide my feelings away. I rarely let them out to play. Feelings are being felt and thoughts are being heard and played out.’

He then asked his male followers how they were mentally and urged them to speak out about how they felt and what’s ‘hurting them’.

His post was met with a plethora of supportive messages from fans. 

Freddy and his EastEnders star brother Bobby, who turned 22 this week, are the sons of TV presenter Jeff and the late Jade Goody who tragically died in 2009 from cervical cancer aged just 27.

In March Freddy revealed he has been diagnosed as bipolar in a candid video about his ‘serious’ mental health. 

The Race Across The World star discussed his struggles with bipolar and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a TikTok post filmed for No Cause, No Cure, Epilepsy Awareness..

Bipolar causes unusual and often sudden changes in mood and energy levels, while ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.

Raising awareness for epilepsy, Freddy said no illness should be made a ‘joke’ of as he discussed how many are ‘belittled’ for their struggles. Freddy does not have the condition himself.

Freddy went on to reflect on his own difficulties with bipolar and ADHD, as he sympathised with what sufferers of epilepsy experience.

‘Seizures or any illness shouldn’t be made a joke or something to laugh about,’ he shared in the footage, which was filmed in September.

‘Me myself, I suffer from serious mental health, and I’ve got ADHD and bipolar, and it’s not nice when people want to belittle you or talk down on you because of it.’

The footage was shared to TikTok by the epilepsy awareness social media group and fans took to the comments section to praise Freddy for speaking out to help others.

Freddy previously discussed his struggles with ADHD while appearing with his father Jeff, 45, on Celebrity Race Across The World.

Freddy was just four-years-old when Jade died. Since her death, Jeff has looked after Freddy and Bobby

Opening up about his tough experience in school, Freddy explained how he was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 10.

‘I never meant to be disruptive, I don’t think I was bad but I weren’t good,’ he admitted.

Speaking to the cameras, Jeff added: ‘I couldn’t hazard a guess on how Fred’s mind works but I know he’s going to do something amazing in his lifetime.

‘We need the pioneers, we need the people that give a completely different opinion. That’s what Fred’s role is gonna be.

‘And I see it. I’ve always seen it and I look forward to him realising it, one day it’s all gonna click and fall into place.’
