“I had to learn to live life on life’s terms.”
Jackson, 27, had previously used social media to share about her journey with mental health, complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
“If you’ve got this s*** of anything of the sort, you’re not alone,” she said.
“Hang in there and if no one’s told you they love you today, I love you.”
Fans expressed their pride and appreciation in the comment section.
“You are so strong and admirable, Paris! Congratulations on being such a warrior, you’re a giant girl!” one wrote.
Another commenter commended Jackson’s bravery, saying she does not “realise how much you help others when you share such vulnerability”.
“You were born into something totally out of your control … but you’re still here with us despite the trauma,” they continued.
The singer and model commemorated her sobriety milestone in a similarly candid post last year.
“Today marks five years clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol,” she wrote.
“To say that I’m thankful would be a poor euphemism. Gratitude hardly scratches the surface. It’s because I’m sober that I get to smile today. I get to make music. I get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat.”
Jackson was awarded the Shining Star Award at the Friendly House Awards last October for her dedicated support for the Los Angeles-based charity which offers support for woman battling drug and alcohol addiction, according to People.
“I’m really grateful to be a part of a movement that aligns so much with my higher purpose and the essence of my daily reprieve,” she said in her acceptance speech.
She said her involvement with Friendly House was “easily the greatest action I’ve ever taken and I pray that I can continue to help others”.
“I didn’t just get my life back. I got a better one,” she said.
