Bella Hadid opens up about her new real struggle with "excruciating and debilitating mental and physical pain"
When you head over to Bella Hadid's Instagram profile, what do you see?
Certainly, we can see photos from Bella Hadid's glamorous modeling campaigns and photoshoots, but the 25-year-old runway star also uses her Instagram profile for a larger purpose: talking about mental health and her Lyme disease diagnosis, and also reminding her friends to be exact 48.5 million followers who are not alone in their own journeys.
Moreover, sharing her experience with Lyme disease, Bella also opened up about her battles with anxiety and depression. The model began taking photos of herself, similar to the ones she shared in November of her crying while reflecting on "the meltdowns and exhaustion," to better explain how she was feeling about her mother, Yolanda Hadid, as well as her doctor." I would have really depressive episodes and my mom or my doctor would ask me how I was doing and instead of having to text back, I'd just send them a picture," she told to WSJ Magazine for her My Monday Morning series. "It was the easiest thing for me at the time because I could never explain how I felt. I was in excruciating, debilitating physical and mental pain and I didn't know why. That was for the last three years."
