She told fans: "Today, on World Mental Health Day it's important for you to know that 11 years ago I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder after checking in at Columbia's Psych Ward."
The meteorologist added: "It's also important for you to know that I have found healing and you deserve to too."
Ginger was flooded with support from fans
She explained: "Depression, eating disorder, PTSD - they are all part of the story I work on and accept about myself everyday. Honesty with myself and exposing my imperfection was step one for me."

The mom-of-two maintained that she hoped her divulging information about her mental health would encourage others to get help should they need it, and to destigmatize the way people look and approach depression, anxiety, and going to therapy.
The star has also opened up about other trauma from her childhood
This isn't the first time she shares personal information in order to convey a bigger message, as Ginger also opened up about the trauma she faced after having been raped by a family member at a young age.
She spoke against the SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, detailing how access to an abortion saves lives. She said: "When I was raped I didn't have an IUD (which I do now). It likely would have protected me from having to make the decision that changed my life forever," and she added: "When a young girl is raped by her uncle, an IUD won't save her from the mental torture and PTSD, but it would protect her from having a child born from the horrific start."
