By Jessica Simpson needs to ‘heal’
Jessica Simpon is hitting back at critics.
The 42-year-old designer responded to a swirl of conversation surrounding her appearance online, adding she needs to ‘heal’.
“I needed to be in my studio today because this is where I ground myself and heal,” she said in an Instagram message on November 6, alongside a video of herself singing “Party of One.”
She added, “As much as I have learned to block out destructive noise…peoples’ comments and judgements can still hurt deeply with their incessant nagging ‘you will never be good enough.'”
Jessica continued, “The most important thing I have learned through the last 5yrs without alcohol being a guard for escapism, is that I CAN and ALWAYS WILL get through it.”
She made notice she is “capable of pretty much anything I care enough about to put my mind to,” sharing some of her accomplishments.
“I am present. I am deeply inspired,” she wrote. “I am determined. I am honest. I care about other people.”
Simpson said the video of herself singing was therapeutic and allowed her to reflect on the haters.
“After grounding myself just now with my voice and the lyrics across my heart,” she said,
“I feel compassion for the opinionated hate that some people can so effortlessly just blurt out with such intensity on social media or in the media in general.”
She continued, “We all have our days of wanting to be, look, do, and feel better. Nobody is alone with that feelin’ that I can promise you.”
The star admitted she still faces her own insecurities, but has found a way out of her negative mental health space.
“I woke up at the same time anxious and insecure but also also angry and defensive — like some of you,” she said.
“I know what works for me and that is to let go and simply sing while lookin directly inside the mirror, straight in my eyes to really see and understand myself. I can connect with my heartbeat. I am stable and strong. I am home.”
She concluded in her message:
“A little advice…live inside your dreams and move through them.
