Lyme’s Unseen Battle: Bella’s Journey to Raise Awareness
For years, Bella couldn’t think of speaking to colleagues about depression, anxiety, and Lyme disease, with its severe physical and cognitive symptoms that have been with her since early adolescence. Bella said that for around three years of the time, while she was working, she used to wake up every morning hysterical, with eyes full of tears and alone.
She recalls that she wouldn’t let anybody see her like in that state and would go to work as usual, cry at lunch in her greenroom, finish her chores and work for the day, go to a random hotel that she found and stay in for the night, cry again, wake up in the morning, and repeat it daily.” She had been battling for one and a half years this disease.
“The little me that had to struggle badly would be so proud of the current me for not giving up and fighting no matter what,” Hadid wrote in the caption that she is thankful to her mom for sticking through all the good and bad times, never leaving her, protecting, encouraging, supporting, and most important of all, believing in her through all this.
With this, she also faces many other disorders, such as muscle pain, fatigue, stomachache, headache, multiple confusion, nightmares, and chest pain.
Hadid wrote that living in this state, with the disease worsening over time and trying to make her family and all everybody who supported her proud, had taken a huge toll on her in many ways that can’t really be explained. She shares her problems due to the disease through her Instagram post and the problem she faces during the disease. Lyme disease basically affects the teeth, gut, brain, spine, and bones.
