Gisele Bündchen's Struggles: Modeling, Divorce, and Suicidal Thoughts

Gisele Bündchen, the Brazilian supermodel, has spoken about her battle with destructive thoughts and panic attacks during her modeling career. She described feeling suffocated and even contemplated suicide at one point. Bündchen coped with the pressure by creating a persona for the modeling industry, but now feels liberated to be herself. She has reduced or quit alcohol, cigarettes, and caffeine, and is happy to have taken a step back from the fashion industry. Bündchen previously discussed her struggles in her 2018 memoir and hopes that sharing her vulnerabilities will help others.
