Last year, Bella Hadid was crowned the “most beautiful woman in the world,” according to science, receiving an almost perfect symmetry rating. Undoubtedly, the supermodel is gorgeous beyond measure, but this doesn’t mean she doesn’t struggle with her self-esteem. In fact, Hadid has opened up about her insecurities and mental health problems time and time again, reminding those who go through similar problems that they are not alone.

Bella Hadid has struggled with her self-esteem since she was a young girl.

Bella Hadid, one of the most recognizable faces in the modeling industry, has often been described as a “stunning beauty.” However, the supermodel has not always been immune to insecurities about her appearance. In fact, Hadid has been open about the beauty insecurities she faced growing up and how she overcame them.

In a candid interview a few years ago, Hadid shared that she had more beauty insecurities growing up than probably anybody. She explained that she was always self-conscious about her eyebrows but didn’t realize there was anything she could do about them. But her eyebrows weren’t the only insecurity that Hadid struggled with while growing up. She also felt self-conscious about her weight, describing herself as “kind of chubbier” until the age of 15.

She got her nose altered as a teenager but later regretted it.

According to reports, the supermodel admitted to getting a nose job when she was just 14 years old. However, she expressed regret about her decision and wished she had kept the nose of her ancestors. “I think I would have grown into it,” Hadid explained.

Although there have been rumors that Hadid has undergone other cosmetic procedures, the model has always denied them. “I have never used filler. Let’s just put an end to that. I have no issue with it, but it’s not for me.”

She deals with several physical and mental health issues.

In 2012, Bella Hadid and her family received the devastating news that they had all been diagnosed with Lyme disease, including her younger brother, Anwar Hadid, and their mother, Yolanda Hadid. Despite her outward appearance, Bella Hadid revealed that her battle with Lyme disease has been an ongoing struggle and that her illness is misunderstood by others.

Hadid has also been vocal about her mental health struggles in recent years, particularly regarding her insecurities and anxiety. She took to Instagram to post candid selfies that show the realities of her struggles while also offering words of encouragement to others going through similar experiences.

In the post, she reminded her followers that social media is not real and that it’s essential to remember this fact. She encouraged anyone who is struggling to know that they are not alone and that she sees and hears them.

Despite it all, she always tries to stay positive.

Recently, Hadid took to TikTok to share a candid message about her struggles with anxiety, opening up to her 7 million followers. In the video, she revealed that she experiences morning anxiety, which can be incredibly challenging to deal with.

Hadid shared that she tries to use positive affirmations to start her day but often finds it difficult to believe them when her mind is consumed with anxiety. One of her go-to mantras is reminding herself that she is fortunate and grateful for all that the universe has given her.

By being vulnerable about her own struggles with anxiety, Hadid has, once again, highlighted the importance of mental health awareness and seeking support. Her message serves as a reminder that even those who may appear to have it all can still experience mental health challenges, and that it’s okay to ask for help.
