Kelley Wolf opened up about her struggles with mental health in an 11-part Instagram post, sharing that she at one point believed she was "in the CIA" and was "running for President."
Wolf, 49, addressed those struggles and apologized to her ex, actor Scott Wolf, their three kids, family, friends and community in Utah in the candid Instagram post shared on Friday, Aug. 28.
"Wow … I have taken about 100 deep breaths to write this. How do I even start," she began the 11-part carousel. "It's been a year since I recognized what everyone around me could see: I was not well, and I needed help."
She continued, "I felt like my brain had been hijacked, and the world was moving at the speed of a freight train. It turns out that is exactly what happened, but I didn't know it."
The executive coach and author went on to say that she was "completely delusional" for a time and has spent the past year "working with incredible doctors, therapists, psychologists, and healers."
She said that she has since learned that she had experienced "breakthrough drug-induced mania with psychosis," which she claimed was brought on by "a perfect storm" of "stress, past trauma, hormonal shifts, and hallucinogens mixed with prescribed medications."
Kelley said that not only did the condition cause her to do and say "cruel" and "vicious" things to those she loves most, but it also resulted in "grand and delusional ideas."
She explained, "I think one of mine was that I was in the CIA and that I was running for President!"
Kelley also directly addressed her husband, Scott, 58, and their three children, Jackson, 17, Miller, 13, and Lucy Marie, 12.

"I am so sorry. My husband of twenty years was taken through a nightmare that wouldn't even fly in a movie script; it was so brutal," Kelley said in slide four. "The things I did, said, wrote, and posted caused profound harm and were not based in truth or reality. And they caused pain 1 could never imagine to the people I love the most."
Later, in slide eight, she continued addressing her family, writing, "Causing you pain and being the reason you suffered will haunt me for the rest of my life. It was my job to protect you, honor you, and keep you safe, and I became the cause of your heartbreak. I am sorry."
