\u201cI had to learn to live life on life\u2019s terms.\u201d<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019ve got this s*** of anything of the sort, you\u2019re not alone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHang in there and if no one\u2019s told you they love you today, I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans expressed their pride and appreciation in the comment section.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are so strong and admirable, Paris! Congratulations on being such a warrior, you\u2019re a giant girl!\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n

Another commenter commended Jackson\u2019s bravery, saying she does not \u201crealise how much you help others when you share such vulnerability\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were born into something totally out of your control … but you\u2019re still here with us despite the trauma,\u201d they continued.<\/p>\n

The singer and model commemorated her sobriety milestone in a similarly candid post last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday marks five years clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo say that I\u2019m thankful would be a poor euphemism. Gratitude hardly scratches the surface. It\u2019s because I\u2019m sober that I get to smile today. I get to make music. I get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really grateful to be a part of a movement that aligns so much with my higher purpose and the essence of my daily reprieve,\u201d she said in her acceptance speech.<\/p>\n

She said her involvement with Friendly House was \u201ceasily the greatest action I\u2019ve ever taken and I pray that I can continue to help others\u201d. <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t just get my life back. I got a better one,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
