Paris Jackson, daughter of the late Michael Jackson, recently shared her experiences with sobriety. While celebrating six years of being clean, she pointed out that getting sober isn’t a cure-all for life’s difficulties.
In a recent message to her fans, Jackson, now 27, emphasized that some of her toughest challenges arose after she stopped using drugs. She openly discussed how quitting alcohol and heroin didn’t magically erase her struggles, particularly with mental health. Jackson revealed she continues to grapple with conditions like treatment-resistant major depressive disorder, complex PTSD, and OCD.
Jackson has been candid in the past about her battles with addiction, even revealing the physical toll it took on her body. She previously disclosed how substance abuse led to a hole in her nasal septum.
In a social media post, Jackson offered encouragement to others facing similar mental health issues, reminding them they are not alone and expressing her love and support. Her message was accompanied by a video montage of moments from the past year, showing her playing guitar, spending time with friends, and enjoying the company of her dog.
Jackson’s openness about her ongoing recovery and mental health challenges has been praised by many, who find her story both powerful and relatable.
