Justin Bieber has recently opened up about his ongoing mental health struggles, sharing his feelings of being “drowning” and the challenges he faces in acknowledging suppressed emotions. In a candid Instagram post, the 31-year-old singer revealed that during his upbringing, he was taught not to harbor hate, leading him to internalize these feelings. He expressed that this suppression now makes him feel unsafe and overwhelmed, emphasizing the importance of confronting and releasing such emotions to heal.
This revelation comes amidst heightened public concern for Bieber’s well-being. Fans have observed his somber demeanor during recent public appearances, including a trip to Disneyland with his wife, Hailey Bieber, and friends like The Kid Laroi. Despite sharing happier moments from the outing on social media, his pale and downcast appearance has fueled discussions about his mental state.
Bieber’s support system plays a crucial role in his journey toward better mental health. His wife, Hailey, along with close friends, has been a steadfast pillar of support. Australian artists Eddie Benjamin and The Kid Laroi, both integral parts of his inner circle, have been publicly supportive, with Laroi expressing gratitude for Bieber’s guidance and friendship.
Throughout his career, Bieber has been transparent about his battles with depression and anxiety. In his 2020 YouTube docuseries “Seasons,” he delved into his struggles with addiction, including the use of substances like lean, MDMA, and hallucinogenic mushrooms during the early stages of his career. Additionally, he has faced health challenges such as Lyme disease and Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which have impacted his overall well-being.
