By Angeline Jane Bernabe

Justin Bieber is opening up about struggling with anger issues.

On Monday, the Grammy winner took to Instagram and shared a candid message about dealing with anger and feeling "broken."

"People keep telling me to heal," he began. "Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?"

He continued, "I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues. I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry."

"The harder I try to grow the more focussed on myself I am," he added. "Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others because honestly I'm exhausted with thinking about myself lately aren't you?"

In a separate post consisting of a text exchange with an unidentified person, Bieber appears to end his friendship with them after he's accused of "lashing out" at them.

"I will never suppress my emotions for someone," Bieber says in his messages. "Conflict is a part of relationship If you don't like my anger you don't like me."

He added, "My anger is a response To the pain I have been thru. Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean."

On Monday, Bieber also posted several photos featuring moments from life as a dad to son, Jack Blues, whom he shares with Hailey Bieber.
