Bella Hadid has opened up about her mental health struggles on Instagram. The American model shared several photos of herself in tears on Tuesday, alongside a video of Willow Smith talking about how she doesn't feel she is "good enough" at times. "Willow Smith, I love you and your words. It made me feel a little less alone and that's why I'd like to post this," Bella Hadid wrote on Instagram.
The 25-year-old spoke about the feelings of insecurity and confusion that we all tend to experience from time to time. "People forget that everyone is basically feeling the same way: lost, confused, not really sure why they're here," she said, adding that everyone felt anxiety and tried to cover it up in some way.
Bella Hadid has earlier spoken about battling severe anxiety and depression since she was a teenager.
In her post Tuesday, she reminded her 47 million Instagram followers that social media is not real life. While fans are used to seeing Bella on the runway, in glamorous pics from photoshoots or on the glossy pages of fashion magazines, the 25-year-old model wrote: "Social media is not real. For anyone struggling , please remember that."
