Bella Hadid’s latest post has given Instagram users MAJOR feels
The Hadids may be one of the most notable families in Hollywood, but that doesn't mean they're without their struggles.
Model Bella took to Instagram on Tuesday to share an emotional post with her followers which describes both her own and her mother's battles with Lyme disease.
Celebrating the release of her mother Yolanda's new book Believe Me – which documents her experience with the debilitating condition – Bella wrote: "This book marks such an incredible day for you."
"I have seen you in bed, struggling for the past five years of our lives, thinking to myself 'Why would this happen to such an angel?'"
"I would cry to myself knowing that there was nothing I could do to help and that there were people going against you and what you are/were going through,"she wrote in the post which has been liked more than 60,000 times since its upload.
"Incidents where you would be so sick, not being able to move your bones/body, and I would have to drive you to the hospital at 3am so I could see you get a shot of something."
"You have been in more doctors labs and testing rooms every SINGLE day, then I have ever seen in my life…To find a CURE for people around the world."
Bella then went on to explain how the illness – which is caused by a bacterial infection carried by ticks – has affected her own life and even prevented her from potentially competing in the Olympics.
"I have been struggling with Lyme and other co-infections for the past two years which has debilitated me from riding my horses, going to school, and struggling with work which are all the things I am so passionate about."
"You are the only person that would believe me and understand what I was going through."
Real Housewives star Yolanda was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012 and has since been actively campaigning to raise awareness and find a cure for the condition.
Both Bella and her brother Anwar also suffer from the illness.
