Y’all… grab your tissues because the latest episode of 1000-Lb. Sisters just hit us right in the feels!

On the February 24 episode (Season 8), Tammy Slaton finally opened up about the dark place she’s been in — mood swings so bad they pushed her to the edge of a full-on mental breakdown.

“It just kind of put me in a manic depression state… and it was making me have a mental breakdown,” Tammy shared in an emotional confessional.

The Shocking Cause? Wrong Medication Dosage After Massive Weight Loss!

After dropping hundreds of pounds, Tammy went to the doctor for blood work because she felt completely off. Turns out her old prescriptions were STILL dosed for her bigger body size — way too high for her new smaller frame!

Doctors immediately took her off FIVE prescriptions she no longer needed and lowered the rest. Tammy also started therapy after a serious heart-to-heart with her fiancée Andrea.

“For the past few months, I’ve been very stressed out, overwhelmed… when I was getting angry or mad, I would black out and say things. It was me, but it wasn’t me,” she admitted.

Andrea Begged Her to Get Help… and It Worked!

Andrea has been Tammy’s rock, but the mood swings were straining their relationship hard. Andrea even cried on camera, pushing Tammy to seek professional help before it was too late.

Tammy told Andrea: “The past few weeks I’ve been going to therapy and getting help with my mood swings.” And slowly… she’s starting to feel like herself again.

Family Drama Makes It Worse

The mental health battle also created distance with sister Amy (who’s busy planning her wedding) and the rest of the Slaton crew. Tammy even skipped a family trip to New Orleans because the tension was too much.

Her brother Chris and sister Misty confronted her: “Not two or three years ago, that was where you wanted to go…”

But our girl is fighting back. She’s committed to therapy, fixing her meds, and even plans to attend Amy’s wedding to support Andrea.

Tammy’s Message of Hope

Tammy is still adjusting to the new meds (“I still don’t feel 100% like myself yet”), but she’s already seeing progress. After everything she’s overcome — weight loss, loss of loved ones, family drama — this mental health journey shows just how strong she really is.

We are SO proud of you, Tammy! 💪❤️
