Ireland Baldwin says she's feeling like herself again after rehab stay
Ireland Baldwin is feeling
like herself again after checking into rehab four months ago for “emotional
trauma.” In an emotional post on Instagram on Tuesday (Aug. 4), the 19-year-old
showed her gratitude for those who have helped her get through the past few
months.
"I have never been so
supported and felt so loved in my life," Ireland wrote.
"I'm
happy to say I feel like Ireland again and it's amazing that I can actually say
that because it's been a really long time and I was starting to forget what she
was like."

The teenager – who is the daughter of
Alec Baldwin and Kim
Basinger – said she felt the need to express her gratitude to the
"phenomenal souls" she has met in the last couple of months for
giving her the opportunity to start afresh.
"After all my
wrongdoings and heartbreaks and trauma and absence of self, how am I here today?"
Ireland questioned. "I just wanted to take a moment to show gratitude to
everyone who has continued to stand by my side through all that took place and
through all that life will continue to throw at me. I'm proud to say I will not
be knocked down and alone next time around."

Ireland
checked into SOBArecovery centre in April, tweeting to say that she was "getting the therapy I
needed in order to recover". While it was speculated that her fraught
relationship with her parents was the reason for Ireland's rehab stay, she
spoke out in defence of her family on Twitter.
"This is the
last thing I'm going to say about everything that's been going on… Both of my
parents, step mom, Carmen and friends… were all there for me at all
times," she tweeted.
Since leaving the rehab centre, Ireland has been spending a lot of
time with her family, including cousin
Hailey Baldwin. The pair recently
debuted matching "Baldwin" tattoos on their fingers and stepped out
together on the red carpet for the premiere of
Mission:
Impossible – Rogue Nation
, in which Ireland's dad Alec stars.
