Bieber, 26, added that the mini-stroke was “definitely the scariest thing I’ve ever been through.”
THE Hailey Bieber spoke about how her mental and physical health has been affected since she suffered a mini-stroke last year.
“I struggled with a lot of anxiety afterwards. I’ve been struggling with a little bit of post-traumatic stress disorder with the fear of it happening again,” the model revealed on the “Run-Through with Vogue” podcast on Thursday.
“It was just a feeling that I never wanted to experience it (PTSD) again. It was so terrifying, so heartbreaking in every way you could imagine.”
The 26-year-old added that the mini-stroke was “definitely the scariest thing I’ve ever been through”.
Bieber said she was in Palm Springs when she suffered the stroke last March, and that returning to the area — even for the podcast — is “very emotional” for her.
“But I think the positive side for me is that it led me to discover that I had this the hole in my heart” he pointed out.
A month after her hospital stay, Bieber revealed she had to undergo surgery for a hole in her heart following the mini-stroke. The model was living with a hole in her heart without knowing it
Now, Bieber said she is slowly starting to live her life again without thinking about what might happen to her health.
“I look back and know he could would have been much worse’ he said. “So many worse things could have happened at that moment.”
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as it is now termed, is a mental disorder that can develop after a person has been exposed to a traumatic event, such as sexual assault, war conflict, car accidents, child abuse, or other threats to a person’s life.
Symptoms may include disturbing thoughts, feelings, or dreams related to events, mental or physical discomfort in trauma-related emotions, attempts to avoid trauma situations, alterations in a person’s way of thinking and feeling, and increased feelings of escape.
