Bella Hadid has opened up on her struggles to overcome her mental health issues.
RHOBH: Bella Hadid Opens Up On Her Mental Health Struggles-‘It Was Okay To Feel That Way’
It is no secret that the model has struggled with depression, as evidenced by her social media activity. Bella Hadid had infamously shared a series of Instagram pictures which showed that she had been crying excessively.
And given that she is in a profession where all eyes are often being directed towards her, this was something that took a toll on her health. In an interview with WSJ. Magazine, Bella recalled the circumstances which led her to post those pictures.
She said: “[When I posted them] it was to make sure that anybody that was feeling that way knew it was okay to feel that way.
“Even though on Instagram things look so beautiful, at the end of the day, we are all cut from the same cloth.”
This did make Bella more relatable with the public, as it demonstrated that even someone as successful as her could be going through very difficult times.
Although she recognized that it could have alienated a certain subset of fans on the grounds that it could be interpreted as her simply gaining attention, the very fact of the matter is that Bella wanted to show a more authentic side of herself.
This was instead of the glitz and glamour that she is often associated with. She added: “I don’t know if that’s not what people want on Instagram, and that’s fine.
“I don’t have to be on Instagram forever. I feel like real is the new real, and that’s what’s important to me.” Much in the same way, she is taking steps to ensure that she can overcome her struggles.
And by opening up to her fans, she is showing them that it is possible to overcome anything as long as you have the correct support network around you.
Her following comments confirmed as much: “I do have good days. Today is a good day…I don’t feel depressed. I don’t have as much anxiety as I usually do.”
It took a lot of courage for Bella Hadid to speak out and that should be commended at the very least. Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
