Justin Bieber is “going through it.”

The Sorry singer shared an emotional post on Instagram that further showed his struggles with mental health.

“Don’t stop fighting the battle has already won. fight for what you love and who you love don’t let fear and anxiety win,” Bieber, 25, wrote in part in the caption of a black-and-white photo, adding that he doesn’t believe he is loved and forgiven.

He continued, “I hang my head in shame and I wallow in [sadness] about the people who have betrayed me.”

The pop star, who frequently attends services at Hillsong Church, then preached about God’s love.

“Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest! these are words from Jesus!” he said. “There is hope and it’s in him.!! He loves and cares for you! For god so loved the world that he gave his only son so that whoever believes him wont die but have eternal life!”

In his Instagram Stories, Bieber also reposted a fan account’s edit of him and Ed Sheeran with the caption, “Crippled with anxiety.”
