Despite being one of the highest paid models in the world, Bella Hadid had to take a break in her professional career to recover from the disease she was diagnosed with at the age of 16: Lyme. And she from the first moment she has not hesitated to speak openly about the consequences that she was bringing to her, both physical and mental.

At the hairdresser or anywhere she was… Gigi Hadid’s sister admitted not to stop making her life, even if she had to attend to her treatment: “Living with chronic autoimmune diseases, always finding time for my IVs.” Now she has wanted to release a statement where she wants to make it clear that she is finally well.

“The little me who suffered would be so proud of my adult self for not giving up,” Bella Hadid began to recount through an Instagram post. The model has wanted to share several photographs in which she appears receiving the treatment she needs to be able to overcome her disease. A hard battle that she has made her suffer, but from which she is coming out stronger than ever.

After thanking her mother, the American continued: “Living in this state, getting worse with time and work while trying to make myself, my family and the people who support me proud, has taken its toll on me. a way that I really can’t explain.” Hadid has claimed that being sick, being privileged, “was possibly the most confusing thing she’s ever experienced.”

Bella Hadid wanted to send two messages: “1: I’m fine and you don’t have to worry, and 2: I wouldn’t change anything for the world.” But the phrase after has been the most revealing. The model has confessed that she would go through everything again to get to the point where she is: “Finally healthy.”

This statement is overflowing with positivity, both for her and for others. Hadid wanted to show people who are going through something similar “that if you are fighting, everything will improve.” “Take a step back, stay strong, have faith in your path, walk in your truth and the clouds will start to clear,” she continued.

Bella Hadid has pointed out that after “more than 100 days of Lyme, chronic illness, co-infection treatment” and “almost 15 years of invisible suffering”, it will all have been worth it if she is able to be herself, “for the first time in life history”.

He wanted to accompany all this story with photographs of his day to day. “I tried to choose the most positive images I could because as painful as this experience was, the result was the most enlightening experience of my life, filled with new friends, new visions and a new brain,” she added.

Finally, he wanted to thank all the people who have helped him, his fans, his doctor and his “INCREDIBLE team of nurses. I love you SO MUCH!!!”. Of course, he has made it clear that he plans to return to the catwalks. “I’ll be back when I’m ready. I miss you so much. I love you so much,” he concluded.
