Supermodel Hailey Bieber says she faced anxiety issues a year ago and it really got to her. However, she sought help at the right time to understand what was happening to her.
The 22-year-old model told Glamour.com, “It’s all about knowing that you don’t have to be ruled by your thoughts. You can take control and flip the thought around. You have to ask yourself questions like, Is that what’s really true? or Do I really believe that is the absolute truth? and counter what you think.”
Hailey, who is married to pop star Justin Bieber, is glad that people are more open about discussing anxiety issues, reports Justjared.com “Nobody wanted to talk about what was really happening, and everybody felt like there was this pressure to keep up a facade…And I think I used to do that a little bit. People would ask me, ‘How are you?’ and I’d be like, ‘I’m fine; I’m good.’ But really I’d be crying in my hotel room all night.”
She said and goes on to add, “I admire people coming forward and talking about [anxiety]. We all struggle with it. I think there’s been this stigma around it for so long. People look at celebrities who are famous or successful and think they have it all together. Like, they have such an insane career, or they make so much money, that they should be happy. But it’s really kind of the opposite.”
