"Nothing is worse than wanting to care for your little ones but feeling so sick you can barely function yourself. I feel useless as a parent. Devastated," she wrote in part. "A mom is supposed to take care of their kiddos when sick. That's how it works."

Spelling shares kids Liam, 14, Stella, 13, Hattie, 10, Finn, 9, and Beau, 4, with husband Dean McDermott.

"A lot of times, I find myself trying to do everything myself," she admitted. "I'm still a work in progress."

Added Spelling: "It's really hard for me because I definitely grew up in a family where we had a lot of support around. I grew up with a nanny full-time, so I was always that girl that was like, 'When I have kids, I'm going to do it all myself.' So I still do it all, but I'm still working on that. It's okay to ask for help."

"This is the first place I'm going once I get over COVID!!" the Pretty Hard Cases actor captioned a picture of himself playing hockey on Instagram on Saturday.

"I've got to be honest, this scared the s--- out of me. My breathing was so compromised I thought I was going to be put on a ventilator," he continued, adding, "Slowly turning the corner to recovery. Be safe out there."
