Delilah Hamlin is opening up about a chronic illness that has taken a big toll on her over the past few months. According to Page Six, the model took to her Instagram stories on January 24 to share a photo of herself with an IV inserted in her arm. Another photo showed a picture of an IV bag with a yellowish fluid in it. To accompany the images, Delilah penned a lengthy caption that explained her health issues incredibly candidly. “I haven’t really spoken on my health lately & if you’re new here you’re probably confused but for the past few years I’ve been struggling with autoimmune/chronic illness issues that I’ve been silently battling and overcoming,” she began the post.
Delilah went on to reveal that she’s had a tough time with things, both “mentally” and “physically” but didn’t share much because she doesn’t want to be known for the “sick role.” She continued “I’ve faced a lot, overcome a lot, and I know that I’m going through this for a reason and that reason is to share what I’ve gone through and what I’ve learned with you.” In addition, the model shared a quote about strength by Joel Osteen.
