Justin Bieber opens up about mental health struggles in Instagram post
Global pop icon Justin Bieber has opened up once again about his mental and emotional struggles, offering fans a raw, honest glimpse into his ongoing battle with anger, exhaustion, and self-doubt.
In a heartfelt Instagram post shared on Monday, June 16, 2025, the 30-year-old singer stripped away the glitz of fame to confront the personal turmoil he’s been enduring for years under the spotlight.
“I know I’m broken and I know I have anger issues,” Bieber wrote, admitting that the expectation to constantly heal and improve often feels like an impossible demand. “People keep telling me to heal. Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself, I would have already?”
Having spent more than half his life in the public eye, Bieber reflected on how living up to external expectations caused him to lose sight of his own identity.
“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 said.
Despite years of self-reflection and therapy, the Peaches singer confessed that the process of personal growth itself has begun to feel overwhelming and isolating.
“The more I try to grow, the more self-focused I become, and it’s exhausting. I’m tired of thinking about myself.”
Yet amid the emotional weight, Bieber turned to his Christian faith as a source of hope and grounding.
“Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others… I’m exhausted with thinking about myself lately. Aren’t you?”
Bieber’s vulnerability has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities, many of whom praised his honesty and bravery in speaking openly about mental health, an issue often stigmatised in the entertainment industry.
As he continues to navigate fame, faith, and personal healing, Bieber’s message serves as a reminder that even those who appear to “have it all” are often fighting invisible battles, and that compassion, not perfection, is the path to healing.
Justin Bieber shares worrying new post saying he knows he’s “broken” and has “anger issues.”
