Singer Madison Beer has made an emotional statement, revealing fans that she is “officially one year clean of self harm.”
On Wednesday, she shared a post on Instagram, captioning, “I never thought I’d be able to say this & I am so proud of myself. It has been an uphill battle, so whether you might b one day, one week, one month, or one year clean — I’m so proud of you.”
The 21-year-old songwriter also shared a photo of what appeared to be flowers and a friend’s heartfelt note, which read, “A year ago today. Proud of everything you do but this one’s especially important to me. Can’t even put it into words. On your side always LB. Through everything no matter what.”
Beer wrote alongside the screenshot, “Don’t even have words to describe how grateful I am for this one. @lenafultz you have been my guardian angel and a light in the dark. I am so so lucky to have found you…”
“Thank u always for hearing me, seeing me, and loving me, exactly how I am,” she continued.
In another post, Beer went on to say that “no one around me rlly knew I was struggling when I was.”
“I hid not only my self harm, but my pain from the world,” Beer continued, before advising fans to “not ignore the signs if you think someone you know might be struggling.”
She added, “Reach out to your friends. U truly never know what goes on behind closed doors. If you are struggling at all, please please know it does get better and you are valid and worthy of love and I believe in you.”
The emotional milestone comes a day after Beer revealed her struggles with suicidal thoughts.
On Tuesday, the star revealed that she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in 2019.
She told in an interview with NME, “I was in a dark f—— place and I genuinely wanted to die.” She credited her team for being “super supportive” during the difficult time.
Beer said, “I would sometimes go in the studio, we’d be in there for eight or nine hours and I would just be crying, ranting or raving about how I’ve never been this depressed and how I don’t know what to do.” “I genuinely believe that the time I was creating my album and the time I was genuinely suicidal and not wanting to live anymore were … intertwined for a reason,” the Good in Goodbye singer continued. “That’s why I call this album Life Support. It’s because it kept me alive.”
