Or maybe I’ve just been crying.’ You never know what people are going through.”

And, most recently, Hadid revealed that she had taken a hiatus from social media to work on her mental health. “I took some time away to reflect and learn about myself in a way that would be too much to explain at the moment , but with time I will express,” Hadid wrote on Instagram on January 21. “I found myself, my strength and my light again. I am only here to be an instrument of peace & love to help people that suffer and hopefully the world, in time… Thank you to my angels who have supported and have continued to love me , for me. You saved me. Take time to get help for your mental health. It’s worth it to get to your full potential.”
