Jaclyn Hill Says She Became Depressed and Self-Medicated with Alcohol After 'Messy' Lipstick Launch
YouTube beauty guru Jaclyn Hill got vulnerable with her followers about her ongoing battle with anxiety and depression in a candid new video.
“I want to talk about last year and I want to talk about my weight. I know that my weight has been a topic of discussion for a few months now. I have put on quite a few pounds since my lipsticks launched — if we’re going to be totally honest, that’s when it started,” Hill said in a YouTube video. “I have put on God, close to 30 pounds the past eight months and there is a reason for it.”
The challenging lipstick launch combined with hate comments about her body had Hill turning to alcohol to ease her pain.“At the end of the day to cope with my anxiety and my depression I turned to alcohol and started drinking to fix what I was feeling mentally. I’ve never been a heavy drinker. I’ve always drank with my friends for fun socially. I honestly don’t even like being drunk, that’s not what it’s about.
While Hill isn’t ashamed about “gaining weight in my body,” she’s become more upset about “what the weight represents.” She said: “So when people tell me, ‘You’re fat. Your face is swollen. You need to stop getting fillers,’ [and] it triggers me in a way because I wouldn’t look like this if I didn’t make such poor decisions. I wouldn’t look like this if I didn’t hurt myself by self-medicating with alcohol.
