Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber has once again opened up about his inner world, baring his emotions in a heartfelt Instagram post that has left fans both moved and concerned. The 30-year-old artist, who rose to global fame as a teenager, revealed the ongoing challenges he faces with mental health, particularly his battles with anger, exhaustion, and the relentless pressure to constantly self-improve.
On Monday, June 16, 2025, Justin Bieber posted a deeply reflective message to his Instagram feed. In it, he didn’t shy away from acknowledging his flaws or emotional struggles. “I know I’m broken and I know I have anger issues,” Bieber began, a stark and honest declaration that immediately struck a chord with his fans worldwide.
He went on to explain how frustrating it is to constantly be told to heal, as if healing is a simple or linear process. “People keep telling me to heal. Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself, I would have already?” he wrote. His words reflected the emotional toll of carrying the world’s expectations while trying to manage his own mental and emotional burdens.
Looking back on his journey, Bieber spoke candidly about how striving to meet the expectations of others caused him to drift from his true self. “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 confessed.
Despite working hard on self-improvement and growth, Bieber revealed that the journey has often felt isolating and exhausting. “The more I try to grow, the more self-focused I become and it’s exhausting. I’m tired of thinking about myself,” he said, echoing a feeling that many silently experience but rarely voice out loud.
In a touching moment of vulnerability, the singer turned to his faith for solace. He credited his belief in Jesus as the one thing keeping him anchored. “Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others,” he wrote. “I’m exhausted with thinking about myself lately. Aren’t you?”
His message sparked a wave of support and empathy across social media, with fans and celebrities alike praising Bieber for his openness and for shedding light on the often-taboo topic of mental health. The post served as a reminder that even global icons with fame and fortune are not immune to emotional pain and the complexity of inner battles.
