Hailey Baldwin has had a transformative couple of months on social media, changing her name on Instagram at the end of 2018 to "haileybieber."
Now, she has kicked off 2019 with a post opening up about her mental health.
The 22-year-old model posted a photo of her smiling in a Coors Light jacket, with a long message in the caption about body positivity, her relationship to the internet, and her anxiety.
"Stepping into 2019 I want to be more open," Baldwin wrote in the post. "I want to be more open about the things I struggle with, and be able to be more vulnerable."
She said although her life may look amazing, she has struggles like many people, particularly with insecurity.
"I'm fragile, I'm hurting, I have fears, I have doubts, I have anxiety, I get sad, I get angry," she wrote.
"I have had more days than I can count where I've found myself scrolling through Instagram comparing myself, comparing my looks, feeling like I'm not good enough feeling like I lack so many things and really struggling to be confident in who I am because I constantly feel like I'm just not good enough."
Rather than writing the post for sympathy, Baldwin said she wanted to show that she is human, and how the process of learning who she is is really hard. She added that it would be "incredible" if other girls and women could find it in themselves to lift each other up, rather than put each other down.
"We ALL have flaws, and that will never change," she wrote. "What I do know is, God made us individuals for a reason, with our own beauty, our own personalities, and our own story because there's a specific plan and purpose for each and every human created and he makes no mistakes!!"
Baldwin vowed this year to do her best just to be her and find confidence in who she is, and she urged her fans to do the same.
"Cause I am enough, and I'm loved, and you are enough and you're loved," she wrote.
In response, Baldwin's husband Justin Bieber wrote "this is beautiful hun."
She also received messages of support from other celebrities like Patrick Schwarzenegger who said "Great caption" with a heart emoji, and Millie Bobbie Brown who wrote "couldn't agree more! [heart emoji] you shouldn't compare your life to controlled content. everyone is human. sending my love and kisses to you x".
