Fans are thrilled that Courtney is moving over to The Young and the Restless in a so-far-unknown role. However, being let go from the Bold and the Beautiful must have been a stressful experience. This on top of the asthma meds she has been getting off of recently and its effect on her health. It turns out she has taken the meds for 25 years, which is way too long.

Hope revealed that she normally doesn’t get personal on social media, but things have been bad. She wrote, “My hormones are kicking MY ass the last two weeks after getting off and having withdrawals from my asthma meds that TORTURED my body and nervous system for over the last two years.” According to Courtney, she has been left “bloated, swollen, moody, miserable, asthmatic, hot, then cold, afraid, and tired AF.”

Courtney Hope is focusing on being kind to herself

While all that sounds absolutely dreadful, Courtney did put a positive spin on things. She explained she is focused on being kind to herself. “I’m growing, learning and cleansing myself, I’ve been working out diligently navigating exercise-induced attacks, stretching a lot…”

Courtney’s personal trainer has obviously been helping her and she gave a shout-out in her post. She then added, + “The need for healing has outgrown my deep-seeded fears, and my body is doing what it needs to heal and survive off of my asthma medicine of 25 years.”

Courtney also mentioned her significant other, Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos of General Hospital), saying he came to her rescue. He made her feel much better with herbs, teas and vitamins. Hope wrote that she still isn’t quite herself, but she “can breathe.” She is proud of herself for the work she has put in.

The lovely actress ended with an empowering message to her friends, fans and followers. “LOVE YOURSELVES LADIES and GENTS! Regardless if you feel 100 or not, own your power, own your worth, own your healing, own your body, own your desires to cleanse and empower yourself however that presents itself in your life, and own your capacity to love others through loving yourself (or sometimes loving yourself through fully accepting others love for you when times get tough)!”
