Vivienne Jolie, the 18-year-old daughter of actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has revealed for the first time her experience with an eating disorder, revealing that she was hospitalized earlier this year.

The young woman decided to share her personal story through a new painting exhibition, titled "A Gallery of Patience in Patients," which also includes excerpts from her personal diary. In one of the notes, Vivienne describes the difficult emotional state during her hospitalization.

"Earlier this year I was hospitalized for my eating disorder. I was angry, sick and very lonely," she writes. However, the 18-year-old says that the support and warmth of the medical staff and other children helped her cope with the difficult period.

"The kindness and warmth of the children and staff at the hospital broke down the walls I had built so high. I have never laughed or cried more and I have never been more honest or more myself," she says.

In another caption, accompanying one of her artworks, Vivienne expresses her desire for closeness and emotional support: “I want a hug so much, my body feels so tight.” While in a note dated April 22, she writes a sentence that seems to sum up her journey to recovery: “I have to let myself fall apart in order to heal.”

This confession comes at a time of change in her personal life as well. On November 2, Vivienne became the fourth child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to legally drop the last name "Pitt" from her name. Through art, the young woman has chosen to share a difficult part of her life, turning the personal experience into a message about self-acceptance, support and the healing process.
