WAG Tahlia Giumelli shares throwback photo of herself looking worryingly thin as she admits to mental health struggles: ‘I needed help’
Tahlia Giumelli made a vulnerable admission on Wednesday when she opened up about suffering from mental health struggles in 2022.
The WAG, 29, who is married to NRL star Tom Burgess, shared the raw revelation to Instagram when a follower asked how she ‘copes with stress’.
Sharing a throwback photo of her rapid weight loss last year, the influencer confessed she was struggling so much with stress that she sought out a psychologist at the time.
‘July 2022 was a really stressful time for me and if I’m honest, I wasn’t coping,’ she said.
‘I was eating (I promise I was) but I was losing weight without trying and it was getting to a point even I thought was too much and I knew I needed help.’

The mum-of-two added that she was struggling with some ‘big decisions’ in her life at the time and ‘ended up seeking help with a psychologist’ to help develop ‘coping mechanisms’ to deal with it.
She ended her lengthy post with a cautionary message for her followers, warning that they only see the ‘highlights’ of someone’s life online and not the bad parts.
‘Getting help is not a bad thing and recognising you need help or asking for help is a huge step in the right direction,’ she finished.

Giumelli, who shares daughters Sophie, four, and Elodie, two, with Burgess, revealed last September she had suffered from a miscarriage.
She told her Instagram followers she and her husband were a ‘ball of emotions’ after falling pregnant, only to lose the baby days later.
Responding to a question from a fan on her Instagram story, she said: ‘It was a ball of emotions as we weren’t prepared to add to our family, but we had settled on the fact we were going to expand our family, only to miscarry a few days later.’
