Bella Hadid told how her tearful selfies were born

Bella Hadid’s selfies, in tears as she talks about her anxiety and depression issues, have become among the most viral posts on Instagram also because they highlight how what we see on social media, very often, is constructed, artificial and untrue. The model is back to talk about those photos and, in an interview, he explained that they weren’t meant to be shared at all, but something much more private.

“I happen to have depressive episodes like this, those days, when my mother and my doctor ask me how I feel, I don’t think I answer him in words but take a picture because I think it describes my state of mind much better”, has explained. In fact, even the other images contained in that post refer to moments very similar to that. But then how did the idea of ​​publishing that post on Instagram come about? “I told myself – it has emphasized – that I will not stay all my life online and I want to share the glamorous and beautiful part of me, but also the truest one. I mean that I am also like this, that those who have the same problems are not alone and that, above all, it is possible to get out of them.

Bella Hadid concluded his reflection by explaining that now he feels much better, that the episodes are increasingly spaced out and that he has decided to make choices to change his life for the better. For example, it is more than 6 months since she has chosen to be completely sober and not to drink alcohol anymore. “For many years, it has been my way to stun myself, to enjoy the evenings. Then I got to the point where, the next morning, I didn’t remember anything I had done and I didn’t like feeling that way at all. Now, I haven’t been drinking for months and I feel much better ».

Perhaps, the story behind those famous selfies is almost more important than the selfies themselves. First of all, it reminds us that breaking free and talking about your emotions not only makes us feel better, but can also create a network of support from those we least expected. Furthermore, even if we are in a period in which we do not seem to have a way out, we must be aware that, by getting help and finally making decisions that can make us happy, we can change for the better. It is difficult, but one step at a time can be achieved.
