Bella Hadid says her mental health problems are to blame for why she has not used a personal stylist "for a long time".
Speaking to WSJ Magazine, the 25-year-old supermodel revealed that she was "in such a weird mentally position" that it was really tricky for her to "get out of the house, especially experiencing the anxiety of photographers.
"In the last year, it has been very important for me to learn that even if people talk about my style, whether they like it or not, it does not matter, because it is my style," she continued. "When I leave home in the morning, what I think is: Does this make me happy? Do I feel good about it and do I feel comfortable? ”
The Victoria's Secret model has previously spoken out about her mental health via Instagram last year, revealing that she has "suffered from extreme depression and anxiety" for most of her life.
Hadid also explained to the WSJ why he decided to post a series of photos of himself crying last November.
"I was having really depressive periods and my mom or my doctor would ask how I was and instead of responding with text, I would just send them a picture," she said. "It was the easiest thing for me at the time because I was not able to explain how I felt."
By posting the photos Bella wanted to give a message that anyone who felt that way was not alone.
Hadid told the media that she hopes her followers will know that although things "look so beautiful" on Instagram, "at the end of the day, we are all people, enjoying and suffering."
