Delilah Hamlin Hid Illness, 'I Don't Want To Be Put In A 'Sick' Role'

Delilah Hamlin shared a scary photo on her IG story today of IVs and herself laid up in a chair. She revealed that her health hasn’t been the greatest.

The model updated her fans on her health, and it came as a shocker to many people. “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.”

In the photo, the company Dripp IV Therapy was providing a medicinal drip for the 22-year-old. “It's definitely been tough mentally alongside physically. I've kind of kept quiet because I don't want to be put in a 'sick' role,” she shared.

“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.”

The model, now claiming to be a singer wanted to end her emotional post with a positive quote, she opted for one from Joel Osteen the popular TV televangelist.

''When you feel as though the pressure is too much, it's because you're stronger than you think. You'll never discover how strong you really are until you face pressure that you've never faced. It may seem unbearable, but the fact that God allowed it means you can handle it.”

The quote focuses on inner strength. ''He didn't say He'd make a way of escape so you could run from it, but so you can 'endure it' God wouldn't allow you to get in that pressure if he hadn't designed you to handle it. You will always be able to bear whatever comes your way.''

Delilah thanked the drip IV company for providing her with great service.

Delilah sat back and watched Twilight while the IV did its work. She is happy to have the break and truly takes her mental health seriously after dealing with a host of issues. She has been to rehab more than once, like fellow Real Housewives of Beverly Hills kids Gigi and Bella Hadid, she too was battling Lyme disease.

Delilah has also made reference to Epstein-Barr, encephalitis, and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections, to Vanity Fair. She eventually accidentally overdosed on Xanax while attempting to manage all her conditions.

She admitted to being overprescribed by her doctor. Delilah recalled that her “body was dependent on it because of how much the doctor had prescribed.”

This left her feeling “hopeless” and “helpless.” At one point, she blamed COVID-19 for a host of her issues but insisted it wasn’t because she was an anti-vaxxer. She has since realized that wasn’t the case and didn’t mean to spread mistruths.

Delilah spoke about her sobriety in December for the cover story of her Flaunt magazine shoot where she shared that she has been sober for over a year now. “My sobriety is something I'm very grateful for. It also got really misconstrued,” she shared with the mag.

“I haven't really spoken about why I became sober. I chose to be sober because of the seizures that I was starting to have because of brain inflammation.”

She continued, “I've been a year and some months sober from alcohol and other things. I don't think about it. I love this lifestyle.”
