Hannah Brown has been open about her psychological well being struggles via the years, particularly in her 2021 memoir. The former Bachelorette star revealed completely to HollywoodLife.com that earlier than occurring Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, she was “really struggling.” “I had gotten into my mind that I was weak, and so I really wanted this to show me and prove to myself that I was a lot stronger than I thought I was and to learn to trust myself to push through,” Hannah advised HL. “I wanted to prove myself wrong basically the whole time [on the show] that I was so much stronger than I thought I was, that I wasn’t weak. I started to believe all these things, probably the worst things people have said about me and started to just work through reminding myself that it’s not true.”
Hannah admitted that whereas working via the psychological and bodily adversity of the checks, she “forgot” she was “on a TV show the whole time,” saying, “This was really for me. And that is what made me keep going.” Special Forces follows a number of celebs of various genres, within the depths of the Jordanian desert who’re tasked to finish and survive a number of coaching workout routines led by a workforce of ex-Special Forces operatives. Hannah is at the moment the one non-professional athlete remaining on the present. “I think I had a moment of, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m surrounded by top athletes and it’s me!” the previous pageant queen laughed. “I think that was a big moment of pride for me. It was very validating to have athletes being like, ‘You’re really athletic for not doing any sports!’”
“It really showed me that I do have a grit and resilience, and my grit and resilience is something I should be really proud of. It has probably gotten me through some of the hardest things that I’ve gone through, whether I failed or succeeded,” Hannah continued. “But being able to get past that, I feel like I’ve made a lot of mistakes, gone through a lot of hard times, but I have made the decision to keep going, even if I struggle with my depression.”
Hannah revealed she by no means overpassed her “why” for becoming a member of Special Forces, and thru the multiples checks she confronted, she would say to herself, “I’m in a lot of pain right now. I don’t feel good. This is a really bad day, but I know it’ll end. I know that the pain is going to end. It’s going to end. So don’t give up in the time that it’s really hurting because I’ll regret it if I do.” It was this thought course of that she credit for pulling her via the competitors, in addition to different hardships she’s confronted in life.
“I’m really, really hard on myself and really struggle with feeling ‘enough,’ And this helped me find a little confidence in that, no, I didn’t just get lucky with all these experiences…I bring something to the table and that is why I’m here now,” she continued. “I learned to believe in myself.”
