For many people, she leads the seemingly perfect life, but Bella Hadid has suffered from severe depression for a long time. Now the 25-year-old has talked about her obstacles in everyday life.
Her Instagram feed is a colorful collection of photoshoot impressions, private snapshots and pictures from official performances. Then in November last year, the break: Hadid posted several photos of herself in tears, talked about her severe depression and anxiety disorders. Now she has told the “Wall Street Journal” in detail about the obstacles she had to overcome in everyday life.
Bella Hadid opens up about her major depression
She was so devastated that it was almost impossible for her to “go out of the house and put together an outfit, especially with the fear that [Fotografen] being outside and all that,” Hadid explained. A few months ago, she hinted at the impact her strict work regime had had on her. Long days and a lot of pressure at work meant that she completely withdrew from work.
“Over the past year it’s been really important for me to learn that it doesn’t matter if people talk about my style, whether they like it or not, it’s my style,” she continued. “When I leave the house in the morning, all I think about is: Does this make me happy? Do I feel comfortable in it and do I feel comfortable?”
“All carved from the same cloth”
She also spoke to the Wall Street Journal about her decision to go public with her condition and post the selfies of herself crying. “I was having really depressive episodes and my mom or my doctor would ask me how I was and instead of responding via text, I just sent them a photo,” the supermodel explained. “It was the easiest thing for me at the time because I could never explain how I felt. I was just in excruciating and debilitating mental and physical pain and I didn’t know why. That was in the last three years,” she revealed. She posted the pictures “to make sure anyone who’s feeling this way knows it’s okay to feel this way.”
It is also important to her, despite the beautiful Instagram facade, to emphasize that in the end everyone is “carved from the same wood”. Today she has good and bad days, according to Gigi Hadid’s sister. “When I go outside and remember that there are so many people who are going through similar things as I am, it makes me feel better,” she said.
