Model Bella Hadid opens up about her struggle with her mental problems, and links them to the reason why she did not use the services of a stylist "it's been a long time".
In an interview with WSJ magazine, the 25-year-old revealed that she was "in a very mentally strange place", and this made tasks such as leaving the house and changing costumes particularly complex - "especially with the anxiety that comes from knowing that photographers are waiting outside".
"In the last year it has been very important for me to learn that even when people talk about my style, whether they like it or not, it does not matter because it is my style," she said heroically.
"When I leave the house in the morning, what I think is - does it make me happy? Do I feel good about it and am I comfortable?".
Last year, the successful supermodel shared her fans and followers on Instagram in her mental struggles, saying she "suffered from extreme depression and anxiety" for most of her youth and adulthood. "My social anxiety was something that slowly crept up on me as I got older into my 20s," she added in an interview. "It was getting harder and harder for me to go out without a drink to calm me down, and it made me want not to go out at all. Maintain for the long term. "
In an interview, Hadid revealed why she uploaded a series of selfies of herself last November, documenting her crying.
"I experienced really depressive episodes, and my mother and my doctor would ask me how I was. Instead of answering with a text message, I would just send them a picture," she said.
"It was the easiest thing for me to do then, because I was never able to explain how I felt. I was just experiencing exhausting and paralyzing mental and physical pain and I did not know why. That's how it has been for the last three years."
Hadid said she is currently experiencing good days alongside bad ones, and even claimed that she does not feel she must maintain a presence on the Instagram network forever.
The model added that she hopes her fans understand that while things look glamorous on Instagram, "in the end we are all made of the same material. At one point I could not upload nice and beautiful pictures of me anymore," she explained, "I went through that stage."
