Alongside a video montage, she wrote on Instagram: "Getting sober ain't always the indication that life is perfect.
"A few years in it all got very very hard. for what felt like an eternity. and i didn't have the same survival skills i was used to having to cope.(sic)"
Paris noted how she has also struggled with a number of mental health conditions and offered support to others going through similar struggles.
She added: "I had to learn to live life on life's terms.
"Treatment resistant major depressive disorder is a b***h. So is CPSTD. and OCD. if you've got this s**t, or anything of the sort, you're not alone."
In November, Paris revealed her drug use had left her with a perforated septum.
She said in a video posted on social media: “I realised I never addressed this and it can sometimes be very noticeable.
“I have a really loud whistle because you can hear it when I breathe through my nose and that is because I have what is called a perforated septum.”
Paris shone a light up her nose to highlight the cavity and explained it is "slightly different" to a deviated septum, where one nasal passage is smaller than the other.
The hit your knees singer admitted the hole was a result of "exactly where you think it's from".
She warned: “Don’t do drugs kids. Or do, I mean, everyone is going to have the experience they need to have with life. I’m not going to tell anyone what to do. I don’t recommend it because it ruined my life.”
Paris noted she can "stick a spaghetti noodle” through her nostril and have it make an arch shape out the other.
But the star doesn't want to have "plastic surgery" to fix the issue because of her sobriety.
She explained: “You have to take pills when you do a surgery that gnarly.
“And I don’t want to f*** with that.”
