Justin Bieber has stripped away the celebrity gloss to reveal the depth of his mental health battle, sharing a deeply emotional post on Instagram on Monday, June 16, 2025, where he confessed to feeling broken, exhausted, and increasingly frustrated by the pressure to “heal.”
The Grammy-winning artist admitted he’s tired of the endless struggle to live up to others’ standards. “I’m tired of thinking about myself,” he wrote in a vulnerable post that’s already garnered over 8 million likes and 2 million comments within 12 hours. Fans and celebrities alike have flooded the comment section with words of support and solidarity.
The 30-year-old revealed that being repeatedly told to “heal” has only intensified his emotional exhaustion. “Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself, I would have already?” he asked rhetorically, calling out the toxic positivity often directed at people struggling with mental health.
Bieber expressed frustration with the expectations of being “fixed” by those around him. “I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. It just keeps making me more tired and more angry,” he wrote, adding that his pursuit of personal growth sometimes feels self-consuming.
He credited his Christian faith for helping him refocus away from self-centered struggles. “Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others,” he declared, explaining that spirituality is the anchor that pulls him out of the mental spiral of celebrity pressure and inner conflict.
The emotional honesty of Bieber’s post has reignited discussions around mental health, particularly among public figures. It also brings back to light his 2020 YouTube docuseries “Seasons,” where he revealed his battle with Lyme disease, depression, and drug abuse, painting a picture of a pop star whose fame began at just 13 years old.
Mental health advocates have praised Bieber’s transparency, urging fans to see vulnerability not as weakness but as strength. In a culture that often demands perfection from its stars, Justin’s raw truth has sparked a wave of empathy—and reminded millions that even icons need space to heal.
