(NewsNation) —Singer and entertainment personality Tamar Braxton is recovering from a life-threatening incident.

Braxton took to Instagram on Tuesday to reveal she “almost died” after a friend found her in a pool of blood.

In an Instagram story posted Tuesday afternoon, Braxton said, “I struggled to write this, but everyone keeps calling me, and honestly, I can’t even really talk anymore I’m so weak.

“I almost died Sunday. I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury. As the days go by the worse it is. I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility.

“The way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins … pray for me for real. I don’t even know what happened to me.”

Braxton also posted a story that said, “Thank you God for waking me up today.” She later reposted a story that said she was a “Proverbs 31 woman,” which offers a biblical description of a strong woman.

The 48-year-old has previously suffered from mental health issues, as well as a pulmonary embolism in her lungs.
