I have been feeling like I can’t do anything right at the moment,” she said. “I know social media isn’t exactly a haven for kindness and positivity but generally speaking I always felt pretty safe with you guys on here.

I’ve noticed lately that a few people seem quite angry at me – for the choices of songs I’ve chosen to release, for the way I’ve decided to roll out my campaign, for the things need to do to fund what will be the greatest tour I’ve ever done, for things I say, things do etc.,” she continued. “I’ve been grappling quite a lot with my mental health the past few months and obviously it makes negativity and criticism harder to handle when I come across it – and of course, I know this is a common struggle for most people in this day and age.

But yeah anyways.. I just wanted to get on here and say, hey I’m really out here trying my best and working my ass off to make things that are hot and exciting and there’s honestly so much more insane stuff to come :) !” “In the meantime I’m thinking of just drafting tweets from a far when I feel like saying something and having someone else post them, just for a little while, because I can’t really handle it here right now.
