Despite recent happy developments, Justin Bieber may be in a bad place. And things could grow worse if he doesn’t find a way to manage his emotional health.
On Friday, August 23, Justin and Hailey Bieber welcomed their first child.
Unfortunately, the Biebs’ recent behavior has fans concerned about his mental state and his emotional health.
Having a child is a joyous moment, but can also fill people’s lives with stress. His friends are reportedly hoping that he gets help before his life implodes.

Is Justin Bieber in a bad place right now?
Recently, eyewitnesses spotted Justin Bieber yelling at a group of his own tween fans in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills.
Yelling in a hotel is a red flag. Yelling at a gaggle of 11-to-12-year-olds is almost always unacceptable. But the fact that he was snapping at his own fans also seems troubling.
In his defense, they were trying to snap a photo of him. While most people might try to do the same if they happened upon him, it is reasonable for him to feel uncomfortable and to set boundaries for fan interactions.
According to what an inside source tells In Touch Weekly, Bieber’s short fuse with tween Bar Mitzvah attendees is just one expression of his current, precarious emotional state.
“Justin does not seem to be in a great place,” the insider observed grimly.
“He’s been snapping a lot in public,” the source pointed out. “And freaking out over meaningless stuff.”

Maybe Justin Bieber just needs a little help?
“It’s obvious that he’s stressed and not coping very well with his emotions,” the insider then continued.
“And,” the source dished, “a lot of people in his life would love to see him get some coaching on how to better manage his anger.”
Of course, Justin Bieber has an unusual number of stresses. He might not have any financial concerns, but he is a first-time parent. Neither he nor Hailey have ideal parental role models in their own lives, which makes this even more challenging.

And then, of course, there is his celebrity status. He has experienced that since his meteoric rise to fame in his teens. There are many benefits … but the drawbacks can be, literally, maddening.
“Everywhere he goes, people are either clamoring for a piece of him or purposely trying to get him to react,” the inside source reasoned. “So it’s understandable he’d get triggered.” (The insider is clearly speaking colloquially, as triggered refers to symptoms of things like PTSD, OCD, disordered eating, and more — not to becoming angry)
The source pointed out: “But that’s the sort of stress he will always face as someone with his level of fame!”
Jack Blues is very much a newborn
Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are celebrating the birth of their precious baby. Even more than for his own sake, Justin should get his emotional health in hand for the sake of Jack Blues Bieber.
“The feeling in his circle is that the sooner he gets help and learns how to deal with his temper in heated situations, the better,” the inside source concluded.
We hope that Justin Bieber will no longer be in this bad place. He has the means to seek help, but it’s up to him to follow through. No one can do it for him.
