“The last six or so weeks have been…a LOT," she captioned.

“And while I am incredibly grateful for all your support for my book and everyone I’ve had the good fortune to meet, this here introvert in extrovert’s clothing is in need of a mental health break,” she added.

"I know, I know, this isn't an airport, I don't need to announce my departure. I just know how some of you worry about me if I don't post often enough," Bertinelli continued.
