Yolanda Hadid Is Back from a "Detox" with Some New Insights Into Her Life Today
The RHOBH alum is back on social media after taking some "time to reevaluate my life."
This week, Yolanda Hadid returned to social media after having completed a "[nine-month] social media detox." The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum shared some new insights into her life after stepping away from Instagram for almost a year following several personal ups and downs, which she revealed with her fans.
"Coming back from a [9-month] social media hiatus, a time to reevaluate my life. After the loss of my mother I really struggled with depression followed by a Lyme [Disease] relapse…. the emotional stress and grief strongly [affected] my immune system," she wrote in the lengthy update posted to Instagram.
The post continued, "My phone addiction didn’t help either, it started to take so much time away from being present in my life. [It's] so easy to get lost in other [people's] stories while forgetting to live and love your own. Texting is so much easier [than] picking up the phone and calling someone. We are all guilty of it. I realized that we are slowly starting to lose the art of communication and [it's] creating a deep loneliness within us. Remember the good old times of pagers and flip phones? A device to call people without the constant pressure to answer emails, texts, and many hours of scrolling through social media until your eyes hurt and often left uninspired. Anyway, this has been a wonderful reset, time to break the habit of picking up my phone 50 times a day."
From there, the RHOBH alum shared a bit more about her life currently, writing, "Learning to focus on myself, my health journey and being present in this moment of my life. Time has slowed down and feels a lot calmer, more time to just sit and actually read a book, time to reconnect with people, be creative and most importantly time with my family. I am excited to be back and see what you’ve all been up [to]."
Yolanda exited RHOBH following Season 6 and shed some light on what her life was like after leaving the show in an interview with The Daily Dish in 2016, which you can check out, below.
At the time, Yolanda also shared insight about her journey with Lyme disease, which you can check out below.
