“For so long, I didn’t know why I was crying,” added Hadid, who also suffers from chronic Lyme disease. “I always felt very lucky, and that would make me even more depressed. There were people online saying: You live this amazing life. So how can I complain? I always felt that I had no right to complain, which meant that I had no right to help, which was my first problem.

At the beginning of this year, Hadid also spoke with WSJ Magazine about how she would send photos of her crying to his mother or doctor to explain how he felt when he could not name his emotions.

“It was the easiest thing for me at the time because I could never explain how I felt,” she said. “I would just be in excruciating and debilitating mental and physical pain, and I didn’t know why.”
