They elaborated, “My sicknesses just have their names now.
I went to doctors for 8 years.
Trying to figure out what was wrong with me.”
She continued, “I was called crazy and anxious and lazy amongst other things.
I changed my entire lifestyle.”
The singer-songwriter answered the Instagram prompt by posting a photo of herself taken while she had an eating disorder.
Under the snap, the singer-songwriter urged people in similar situations to seek medical treatment.
The photo received tons of backlash because many found it quite triggering.
A little while later, Halsey deleted the Story.
About a year later, however, Halsey was applauded for sharing a realistic look at her postpartum body.
They added, “And that has altered me forever; emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
That change is permanent.
And I don’t want to go back!”
