I am so touched that so many people have found likeness in this discussion about mental health. Please remember it’s important to seek professional advice. Bipolar disorder is very complex, and self diagnosis could rob you of a more specific and helpful diagnosis.
thank you for touching this topic. it means so much to all of us. i am so grateful for you and conversations like this.
I can't even explain what this means to me. Your music and poetry have been therapy for me. Thank you so much for being brave enough to put this out there. It's helping countless humans. I love you beyond words. Bad news, think I'll probably die before I have you.. but thank you for the beautiful pieces of yourself that you've given like wildflowers.
P.S. the girl who told you we need you.. please don't die.. that is the fucking truth. Please, please, Ashley, open your mind to believe that truth. I know it's a lot to put on a person, especially a stranger.. but it's the absolute truth.
Thank you so much for speaking up and for sharing your story! So appreciated!!
Halsey you are the best
Halsey is a true advocate. She doesn’t shy away from the darker sides of humanity and that’s beautiful.

“How do I know what I’m allowed to feel?”
The worse thing about bipolar is that you never know if what you’re feeling is valid or grounded in reality or is part of a tumultuous swing. Constantly questioning your emotions is exhausting.
I’m so happy she’s talking about what this feels like.
Ilooooveyouu
The same applies for those of us with BPD her question was felt be us all I love her for it ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Feel AND think.
Wow. I got goosebumps from this comment. I’ve literally been scared that my diagnosis is wrong because I always question my own judgement.
''Meeting someone when you're manic, and then when you're having a depressive episode they are like: Well, now you're this depressed miserable thing'' .... shit hit me hard, bipolar is hard but not impossible.
I just made a video on my mental illness recently if anyone would like to come on by
Depressive episode happen to us all during our lifetime. The person who really loves you will support you no matter your mental state, therefore they’ll support you
My ex said this to me all the time. That I wasn't the way I was when I met him. How he didn't understand how I could have changed so much. I didn't know at the time that I might have bipolar disorder, so these words really crippled me. Made me question my identity. Made me more depressed. Hearing her say that made me cry.
I dont have bipolar disorder but I can relate so much
Halsey wrote one of my favorite songs “Sorry”…. People that do not have bipolar disorder may not understand but if you are bipolar, you totally understand “Sorry”…
“How do I know what I am allowed to feel?” that hit hard.
I can't forget this quote.
I found it interesting of how she mentioned ppl love a manic woman when they're getting something out of it, but as soon as she's dealing with internal stuff the word becomes weaponized against her. I'm astonished that she was able to put this into words. The concept of this is prevalent in the music industry, and should be addressed more in the media.
Well put
^?
this reminds me of Lady Gaga. I think she said something similar in her most recent interview with Zane Lowe.
Guys i am also a youtuber need your support
#Thereactionofudbrothers
I have also found this to be true in personal relationships as well. For me, men would love my energy and be amazed by it but then when the crash came they couldn’t understand because they took my energy and used it
“You don’t seem bipolar” feels so much like “oh I didn’t know you were messed up”. I never know how to react when people say it to me. It can be so minimising of the effort I go to to manage my disorder.
Thank you Halsey for talking about this 💜
I hate it when people will joke and say "wow, I can't read today, I must be dyslexic" or " I'm in a bad mood, I must be bipolar today" that is SO RUDE! How dare they make fun, joke around about real problems that I struggle with. Folks need to stop coming from a place of ignorance and be more *considerate* of me and all the others who don't have it all together.
@@maran363 This is why I appreciate so much when people who are in a more visible position speak out about it :) It helps so much towards educating that this kind of behaviour can be harmful
@Number 2 I usually do take it as an opportunity to talk about it :) it's just hard to hear sometimes

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder whenever I was 13. At times, I didn't expect to live past 20 because of suicidal thoughts. My family was abusive and I didn't have any allies when it came to my bisexuality as a teen. But, I'm here to say that if you just KEEP GOING, everything will be okay if you're actually trying to better your life. I am now 21 with a family of my own. I have my own house, and I just want to see everyone be successful in life. Halsey, thank you so much for getting this message out. ILY
I don’t know you but I’m proud of you. I’m glad you’re doing better and I hope good things for you
@@anonymousheux Thank you so much :)
Ur so strong to everyone out there ily u will be fine
That's good for you.You deserve it good as well as other people.I am actually quite similar as you.I got into depression when i was around 13.i have rough times with my family and i seem to develop other mental illnesses(at least one)which i mostly think it's bipolar.
@@kingtaehyun3223 wanna talk about i know what u mean i am here for u
Dr. Kapur has incredible communicative and body posture. She doesn't over speak someone speaking &she doesn't over do head nods, as many do; not really listening, just so they can speak.
And why do I think that she is an Indian. Cuz I am an Indian too. And Kapur is an Indian last name. Though that doesn't matter. She's a very intelligent and kind person.
@@lordzee0072 that name, accent and features, yes?
What’s wrong with head nods? I remember Used to feel relieved when my psychiatrist nodded her head

Halsey makes me feel a lot I guess “safer?” about having Borderline Personality Disorder.

same, i don't feel ashamed for having bpd like i used to
She has help Ed so much by trying to break the stigma of mental illness. She helped me reach out to my doctor about my mental state
Same here ❤
trueeeee
"Still Learning" speaks to the depths of my anxiety and self loathing and really helps me find the words of my heart when it feels heaviest. While it doesnt exactly save me in the moment having the outlet to let my grief come out can help relieve some of the pressure
Rune I feel this. I was in a bad relationship and it just made me think so badly on myself and made me anxious on what to do after I got out of the relationship. No matter what I can’t change the past but I can still learn to love myself and use my voice.
I had Still Learning on repeat for months and still do. It helped me realize I’m doin just fine, and I’m still learning. 💜
@@laurenlawson5044 yeah it plays on repeat in my head a lot since it came out, like a mantra. i do my best with the intention to improve otherwise i sink into nihilism and give up
My family have no idea how to deal with me, I don't blame them though, unless you have suffered from depression, anxiety and self loathing you can't understand. I don't understand even when I've had it for years, although it's only the fact that my family wouldn't understand, that I am still here. If I could go I would do it tomorrow and I know it's not right but it's how I feel.

I'm so glad she's speaking out about mental health. Artists are helping break the stigma, and it's great that she's using her platform to discuss important topics like this. Thank you so much, Ashley, you're such an inspiration.
That is how it feels to be bipolar:

Me too.

Took the words right out of my brain 🖤

But what’s Fantano gonna give the album
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 17. I had suffered from suicidal depression when I was 16 and had to drop out boarding school. At that time, I didn't know that I had a mental illness, everyone (my parents, teachers and friends) blamed me for causing my depression. I was quite a high achieving and responsible student. And everyone was shocked when I had to drop school. They told me that my negative thinking and my weakness had caused my depression. After I dropped out, my parents took me traveling hoping that it would remove my suicidal thoughts and depression. It kinda worked and by next year when I rejoined a new school my depression had turned to hypomania and finally full blown mania. Hypomania was my happy, bubbly phase. But full blown mania made me go crazy and I was taken to a psychiatrist and had to take a few months off from school. After I realised what had happened to me I became suicidal again. Well long story short, I soon came to accept my bipolar diagnosis and it gave me relief to know that my condition has a name and that there are other people who lived with it. I completed school successfully and got a scholarship to a colledge abroad. Now Im almost 20 and my first year of colledge is almost over. I take bipolar medications but I still go through slight highs and lows. Sometimes when I am low I feel like I may not live past 20. But I patiently wait for this low phase to pass. I resonated with every single thing Halsey said. I have had the same fears too. I am so happy more people are talking about mental illness and destigmatizing it. I hope my story has helped someone and made them feel not alone in what they are going through. My greatest desire is to earn money by doing something I love - UA-cam, dancing, singing, drawing or acting. Buy a big house with a big garden and live in the country side and get married to someone I love and who accepts my health condition and have a family and raise kids. I just want a peaceful, comfortable and fullfilled life! Sending love to you all🤗❤
My thumb is litterally aching from how much I have typed😅 If you read upto here, thankyou☀💞
I read upto here😊thank I for sharing ur story.
Wow bless u what pills do u take I found out when I was 18 I'm 33 now I have a story I plan on sharing soon
Do you have type 1 or 2? I find it surprising that some people are diagnosed as minors. I think it can be difficult to diagnose someone so young because your brain is still developing and you aren't done puberty yet.
as a writer with severe obsessive compulsive disorder I've found a lot of comfort in this album and it reminded me a lot of the poetry I often come up with in my most dark phases. It's just so hard knowing that the mental place that gives me such beautiful art is the same place that gives me so much pain. I know I don't have the same mental illness as Halsey but I could find so many similarities in everything she's expressed around bipolar disorder and I'm so glad we have an artist that is talking about that struggle
She probably won’t see this, but I swear the moment I listened to her music and know more about her, I felt like she was my soul sister. I also have bipolar disorder and I’m schizophrenic and have constantly felt like nobody understood how that really felt like, and relationships and other people had made me meaner to myself than they ever were. Her music made me feel like she knew exactly how I felt and all of a sudden, I wasn’t alone. It’s sad and I really hope she gets the best thing in life because people who go through what we went through are the kindest hearts in this fucked up world and she deserves to know that.
Hang in there

MORE POWER TO YOU! ❤️
Well said. I am in the same boat
So proud of her for always using her platform to advocate for sensitive topics like this. I know for sure that this interview is going to help a LOT of people come to terms with how they’re feeling. Love your forever H ❤️❤️❤️
Just read it ;) I found this album very different because it is at once a part of her and we can recognized ourself in the songs. I totally agree with you about what this video is about to bring to people. I really love Halsey for being so honest about what she feels and helping us in a way to accept ourselves and as well that we are not perfect and that is okay.
I loved Leon the professional
I respect her talking about her experience. If she really believed in educating the public on psychiatric illnesses she should have had a psychiatrist on
Marco White it definitely would have been very informative to have someone educated in the field of psychiatry since they are able to actually prescribe medication to a patient however I believe that Dr Kapur was more then qualified to discuss the topic of mental health particularly bipolar disorder with Halsey ❤️
“Ashley please don’t die cos we need you”
I haven’t been diagnosed but when Halsey said she had a million ideas and couldn’t get any of them done.. I felt that ❤️
Same
@@kingtaehyun3223 ❤️
People will say procrastinator but it's totally not that. Be true to you and never think it's a negative thing.
me too, in that part she described exactly how i see myself
@S K we are creative beings lol so we will get it done it our own time and that’s okay 👍🏼😉
*Who else loves Halsey?!* 🙌🏻❤️
Me!!! I love her sm🥰💕❤
I love Halsey so much! She’s so inspirational

I love Halesy
Me!!
I find it interesting that she talks about her manic episodes and being almost a separate person. It makes me feel that she imagines "Ashley" as who she is, and "Halsey" as her manic persona.
Ashley?
Shahida Khan Her real name
I agree, I feel like Halsey is depressed and Manic and Ashley is the "normal" (whatever that means) state of her. Honestly, as a person with mental illness myself, it's relatable.
There is a different version of without me out now.. I'm really going mad over it .. ua-cam.com/video/Sz7IduJODXM/v-deo.html
She just processes. I think she knows she is one person. She knows where it's at..
Three years ago, I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and while I felt relief that I finally knew what was "wrong" with me, I felt extremely lost and scared and confused. Now, after years of therapy, and many relapses, I'm at a moment where I'm at peace. And I'm so proud of Halsey for being so open with her struggles, and for creating Manic because sometimes, when you are so low in your life, you forget that there are people out there who understand you. I remember crying out loud on the bus while hearing the album, because I could relate to every single song in a way that I've never related to any song before. It was both, heartbreaking and therapeutic at the same time. While BPD and BD are different from each other, they share some aspects (e.g. going from an extremely high mood to a very low mood. In BD the mood shifts tend to last longer than in BPD, while in BPD they are shorter and are often triggered by a combination of external stimuli and paranoid thinking). I never had a favorite artist before Halsey, but I can say for sure that she has made my life happier by existing and creating and sharing her art.
Thank you for everything Halsey
I am fully healed and recovered from BPD (three years of self healing and therapy) I can totally relate to what you are describing! I feel like I lived a past life- and I’m finally alive!

"So now you're this depressed miserable person and I didn't sign up for this" this is what people usually do instead of supporting that person to get out of that situation 🔥 Halsey is such an incredible person ♥
I live with bipolar disorder for almost 9 years now. it cost me friendships, my graduation, relationships and tons of money. now I've been living without a phase for a year and haven't been hospitalized in over 6 years
this disorder will take my life eventually BUT I did not come for a fight but I will fight till the end!
I think I’m best to grow balls and finish my life.It is a waste I know but it’s best. I am living with a heroine addict for a long time who could be clean and happy by now and looking after me but the selfish drug won’t let her go.

Ahhh same!! Seems like each album or song she comes out with aligns perfectly with a situation I am going through
me too!!!! i was 11, now i'm 16, it's crazy how she's grown, but is still the same artist we knew

It has gotten easier for me in my 50's. I was diagnosed with Bipolar in my 20's. I have been off meds for 15 years. Prayers go out for all with bipolar disorder.
What type of bipolar do you have? I am praying to be medication free one day too .
She looks healthy, beautiful and happy, that's what really matters. Plus the fact that she's a very young woman embracing herself and encouraging us to do the same. A treasure.

Diagnosed in 2017. It means a lot seeing an influential person like halsey share this and make an effort of helping others
Our society is ableist. in general it highly values productivity. We struggle as a whole to value people just for being people, not for the value that they provide. I think that's part of the issue with mental health.
Halsey you are so well spoken and even though the media may try to twist and warp you, people who care will still see the truth and that's what's important. You're touching so many people with your work and just being yourself ✨ ❤️

(Please leave a comment there underneath the video and not here) as i would like for my listeners to feel welcomed to give more in thought towards those uncomfortable conversations than in clout, which is what my subject matter is based on ..."Commentary on our shared world".In hopes that this may be fruitful to you i look forward to your response

Im so glad that this 'interview', this discussion was done with a professionnal and not someone who is just here for the hype and the media- this is truly educational !
Exactlyy
This made me cry. I feel this too deeply. And it makes me feel at peace knowing others feel this way too 🥺😩
^??
You're not alone.we are going through this together.
baby please seek help if it gets really tiring
So proud of her for raising awareness towards mental illness
This honestly made me feel seen and understood for the very first time since I was diagnosed with Bipolar. Everything Halsey talked about is exactly how I either feel or have felt at one time or another. I’m so happy that she made this video to really open up the conversation on Bipolar in a more understanding and non-judgemental manner.
Hi, I've been with so many psychologists and psychiatrists and I can't get a proper diagnosis.
I mean I've been so sick for almost 2 years and I feel none really believes me. I feel so understood hearing Halsey about everything she's been through and everytime I feel hopeless or crazy the only thing that saves me from doing anything wrong is her music and message.
At first all people used to disguise my manic episodes to temporal anxiety or take my depression states as something normal.They also made me believe that I have to feel 100% happy when I'm manic, but I do usually feel euphoria,anger. ( in the video they said it's a myth feeling just only huge happiness) I've thought, fought and done things that I'm even afraid of. I just want to be accepted and make people know that this is my real me and I'm not gonna change. I don't wanna say it too loud but i need to speak out this whole thing, I don't wanna damage anything or spoil even more my situation but this reality is killing me. Pls tell me what'd you do.
Ty for reading me:)
Her music touches my soul. It makes me realize what a terrible person I’ve been and it makes me want to change.

I felt this
Please try to not judge yourself so harshly. It's ok. You were probably just acting out of fear, anger, or confusion. It's all okay.
@@randomazed this comment!! acting out from mental illness does not make you a bad person!!! it's how you recognize your symptoms and the way it makes you act and then just TRYING to do something about it proves your character enough. it's not easy for you or others especially but u r an amazing person
@@ashleybennett5831 I'm crying, THANK you. I'm trying to grant myself the same compassion that I would anybody else, but it's hard.

in my relationship i’m honest about everything i feel and he is so understanding and i’m glad i have someone as patient and loving as my boyfriend
I've been diagnosed with anxiety disorder. I listen to graveyard every time I starts to panicking. It strangely calms me. Her voice is really calming
I’ve loved Halsey for so many years and to have her speak about bipolar truly touches my heart. My mom was diagnosed with bipolar when she was 18, she’s 51 now and my life has been molded around her illness and the way she’s chosen to live her life. It’s been such a roller coaster of goods and bads with my mom, I’m so proud to have one of my favorite artists advocate for this mental illness.
Can we appreciate for a moment just how beautiful she is? Inside out.
Manic is the best album ever... I love to hear the songs when I'm sad, angry, or happy.
"Can't remeber half the time that I've been alive" hits different
I LOVE that someone actually is talking about this in our music industry, it’s about time.
I struggled with anxiety and depression in my teenage years and kept silent about as i was afraid people would hate me for not being "perfect". it wasn't until Jan this year that I sought help from a professional (i just turned 25), and in these past couple of months i've learned so much about myself and my anxiety. Seeing a professional has helped far more then i ever could've when i was trying to handle it on my own. This video is so so powerful and really helps those who are struggling to reach out and seek professional help. If you are hurting, you aren't alone and trust me there is hope and such a beautiful life for you to live. don't give up.
Been through the same thing so I understand what you feel. We got you boo ♥
Did you see a psychologist or a pshyciatrist? I'm seeing a psychologist atm. I decided to after I had experienced a panic attack
I'm really excited about this it's gonna do a lot of good for people
This is seriously helping me, I too suffer from bipolar disorder and listening to this makes me feel comforted and okay for me to understand that it's alright for me to ask and expect help for something that others can't really see but is still there
Interesting, is just that too much expectation lead to disappoinment!
I’m bipolar, I love this woman and she helps me get through these mood swings.
I've been diagnosed as Bipolar and Borderline. It's like a constant fight against myself, and sometimes i feel lost, empty and useless. But it's also my strenght. I wish you, guys with mental illnesses to get better and keep the fight. Thanks beautiful Halsey for everything you do. Love !
Two weeks ago I have been diagnosed with depression. I was scared of being a problem for my boyfriend as sometimes I feel really down and I do not see the point in doing things if I am a failure. I am surprised how much my boyfriend is helping me, he helps me do normal activities even when I do not see the sense. I am glad that I have him. He tries his best to help me and follow what the therapist recommends in order to feel better sooner than I would if I was on my own
Ketty Canargiu I ops you are doing better now❤️💙
Rose Productions thank you! I am slowly getting better💕
You’re precious Halsey...insanely precious
i'm so thankful that an artist i love is finally bringing some attention to bipolar disorder. i've been dealing with it for almost three years, and sometimes i feel like it's never going to get easier. but hearing more and more people talk about it just reminds me that i'm not alone. thank you
Always hear “but you don’t look ill” yes dude because of my meds 😭
Yeah, I was diagnosed with BD some months ago, now I feel like I don’t suffer from it anymore and I know it’s all thanks to prescriptions ❤️
@@shootmeinthebrain If you don't mind me asking, what prescriptions are you on?
Im scared to take meds. I cant handle the side effects. I just dont know what to do
@@mapleleaf922 hey there ,hope u r doing fine now...but just to let u know if u are suffering from any mental illness then u should definitely go see a doc...most of the time if ur at initial stage they might not even prescribe any medication ...they may just prescribe u to make some changes in lifestyle ,meditation etc and if u are going through a really hard time they will surely do....if they prescribe medication then u really need them.Of course they might have some side effect.But the help will get from it will be far greater.
:)
I have OCD but this interview really helped me learn how to forgive and accept myself. Thank you Halsey!
This was honestly beautiful. This album really hit me somewhere deep. And while I can't understand where or how just yet, I really appreciate it. Thank you for adding this bit with the psychologist and opening up about this. Thank you to helping to normalize mental health, the struggles it comes with, and how to be an ally to those with it.
i’m so proud of myself for supporting her please 😭
I'm struggling right now and desperately working so hard to achieve my salvation and reach the goal and guess who is there for me, yes Halsey. listening to her music keep my mind kinda steady by remembering that I'm not the only one who was born without a golden spoon in his mouth but can achieve something. Thank you hundred times 🙌🙌
Halsey's voice seriously inspires me to sing and I sing to her songs in the car when I'm feeling out of place emotionally.
“how do i know what i’m allowed to feel?”
exactly.
the fact that we call it a disorder makes me question if my emotions are normal or not.
it constantly makes me question that is it abnormal if i feel so intensly?
is it that abnormal if i have so many ideas that we call it maniac?
is it abnormal to let yourself live the pain and is having pain actually normal?
i have so many questions but i always end up thinking i’d rather have alternating moods than just have the same mood forever.😀
(i’m not american,so i might suck at grammar😁)
Halsey, i want you to keep going, no matter what. World needs you, i need you. You are so important to me. Your music got me trough a lot and it still does. Your voice is incredible. Keep helping and inspiring people with your music and incredible voice , but also help yourself, love yourself, be good to yourself. You deserve all the love 💗
Halsey has gone through so much in life, and she has gotten so far, this shows that anyone can get through hard time and achieve their goals, Love you Halsey 💜💜💜😘
When I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder this year I was so lost. I had no one that understood, I still have to keep it from my family because they’ll only tell me how its in my head and doctors just want my money. Halsey was truly the first person I heard advocate for it. She really helped me in my healing process and made me not feel so alone. Definitely my favorite artist now too. ♥️
I had my first manic episode during COVID and you have produced 3 songs that have brought out intense emotion during my mania. It felt really good to express that much emotion even though it was painful at the same time. Like beautiful sorrow. I think I just discovered my purpose in life. I am supposed to make the world a better place. I think I can solve any of the world's social problems. I think I can change the education system so that our COVID recovery is on the home to give them social and emotional skills. Mindfulness. If I had the mindfulness of a child who had learned mindful techniques/coping skills in school, I would not be where I am just now discovering I have a purpose. It is amazing. I think I have creative mania. I also have intense emotions of sadness, shame, and failure. I am an addict and everyone thinks I don't have bipolar. I went to rehab and I am not going back. There were people in rehab multiple times. Sometimes as many as 14. I was there once and I am not going back. I smoke medical marijuana for my back and it surprisingly is helping me think and I haven't had a drink since I have been using medical marijuana. The problem is my wife doesn't want me to use anything because I'm an addict and that is what addicts do. So I just took medical leaves from Grad school and work. No one is helping get a positive psychotherapist. I have to do the work. So, if anyone knows of someone who is bipolar, had and addiction, and is a Dr. in positive psychotherapy or applied positive psychology send me their information. Anyone else is a waist of my time. My wife has two master's so anything less than a doctorate will not do.
I really expect no replies at all. If you can't see it, it doesn't exist. That has been my experience.
Plus I am a 1 variable = addict. They told me I had three choices. Death, jail, or AA. That is it. Well, I know another way and it is with marijuana. I cannot overdose on it. I do not get a hang over. I have not had a drink since I have been smoking. I used the "Willie Nelson theory" to create my theory of change.
So what do people think? Go to rehab for medical marijuana, AA, and self help for bipolar? Or, stay on medical marijuana try to find a 20 week positive psychology program that will give me positivity to fight all the negative self talk in my head? And please don't tell me to get over my shame. I am not suicidal even though I also have depression and anxiety.
It creates cognitive dissonance in my head too. Why does he smoke when he knows he is an addict and has bipolar, and bipolar could be caused by the medical marijuana?
Plus his wife and four daughters hate when their parents argue over the medical marijuana or dad's medicine. But, I haven't thought this clearly and creatively for thirty years since my sisters car accident that left her maimed at 16, and my dad's passing in 2005. What do you think?
I've absolutely loved Halsey and her music ever since Badlands, but last year around this time I was diagnosed with Bipolar I Disorder. After that, she became even more of an inspiration to me because she gave me hope for the future and helped me embrace who I am through her music and her example. Love you H, thanks for everything you do. It means so much.
We need someone who outstands and talks about mental illness. Thank you to speak up and not be ashamed of it. And also, thank you for using your success and follow to spread such an important message 💜
Yes we need to talk about it but we need a general understanding of what we mean when we say "mental illness". Is it trauma disorders, is it emotional distress, developmental disorders, mood disorders psychotic disorders. If all of these things are under the same umbrella is the term useful?
Hi Halsey, I doubt you will read this. But I want to tell you that I am getting to know you and I really like what you do, but more as a woman activist and person. Eager to hear this and know more about you!
♥
Im so proud of you!!!!!
as someone who struggles with bipolar disorder I appreciate Halsey covering this topic and for the transparency she shows. I've lived with this disorder for over 15 years and it hasn't been always easy. Many of her songs really resonate with me. I wish her the best in her career.
“You are entitled to feel however you’re feeling and validated for it” I am so relieved to hear that and know that I am more than my mental illness.
I have some things I would like to say
1. Halsey’s art touches the soul it’s not just songs and music it has spirit and it’s real art
2. Halsey helped alot of people by first being honest with herself and being out there, second by giving space for her fans and friends to express themselves by these little things in her songs that each person can understand it and relate to it in there own way
3. Giving this time and effort in her tours and this fund raising thing is really heart warming
Ps: the pretty lady with her looks like the “mother” from “How I met your mother”
All love to you guys
When she talked about the "hopeless fountain kingdom" and related it with her bipolarity, I first thought on Devil In Me
I'm bipolar type I and Devil In Me + Angel On Fire are my most relatable songs. It's silly but the first time I listened to the album I felt so understood
It took me years to be diagnosed, almost a decade. I appreciate this so much
My wife had 2 episodes of hypomania within 3 months for the first time that I had seen in our 10 years. I realized her parents had seen it prior, but ignored it being in a tiny town. She doesn't acknowledge it as other than only stress, but the severity of it leads me to educating myself to see signs and process with her. it was terrifying going through out of nowhere from someone I know so well. Hoping to help her process if any future episodes as we are 7 months later. Thank you so much for sharing what has always been kept hidden.
I'm almost crying watching this content.. I feel so proud and greatful nowadays we have a Powerful woman like Halsey with her advocacy...
Mental disorder*
Bipolar disorder* this are the things that WE must not ignore in this planet with judgemental elements!Because of her I was encouraged to do more good things in favor of my Mother under therapy of bipolar disorder.
Thank you halsey!
Thank you for bringing this topic up, for my daughter has Bipolar and she is now feeling so much better. She finally went to get help and now she says why did I wait so long! So, thank you for this video, appreciate it!!!
I used to have friends who told me I was crazy or too much to handle as a result of my bipolar disorder, I have a new group of friends now and the other day I told my friends about my bipolar disorder and they said I was perfect no matter what and that they'd always be there for me to help me and honestly surrounding yourself with people who genuinely care for you and understand is the most important thing ever.
I’m so proud of her for talking about this. I know she’s always been fairly open about her experience with bipolar but this is definitley a lot more open + honest, and I’m glad she’s speaking up more. I love her
Finally a role model . A real genuine artist trying to improve the world
This song is generating happiness in my head.. ua-cam.com/video/Sz7IduJODXM/v-deo.html
"How do I know what I am allowed to feel?" omg that is something I have asked myself so often...
Who loves Halsey let's see how many people 💝❤️❤️. I am the first
I think it's great people are starting to talk about this. I have 2 daughter's that struggle with it everyday. Them feeling that there not alone and accepted is all I can do on daily level. Think its great that you included your link to donate to such a great cause. Thanks for talking about it.
I love the background for this video, It matches the atmosphere.
I adore it when people take courage and ignore the misconceptions of others that may hurt them and talk about their mental illnesses. It can profoundly give hope to others and help them dealing better with their mental health problems and ask for help.
I hope we all reach to the point of visualizing mental illnesses in a more rational and positive way and accept them as normally as we do for physical problems.
So much respect for halsey.
I know that she is never ever going to read this but I really want to thank her.
hi Halsey, you're an icon. I relate to your music so much and it has helped me so much when I am feeling down. your music gives me a confidence which I cant bring it on my own. I swear 2020 was so hard but I grew from that and it wouldn't have been possible without badlands, hopeless foundation and manic. most importantly, without you. we dont even know each other but still your music is my coping mechanism and it has touched my soul and heart the way nothing has. THANK YOU HALSEY FOR BEING THERE! YOURE AN ICON. im pretty sure many would relate. thank you, I hope you have a good day. I love you
"Just let people who they are," like, Can I LOVE THIS WOMAN ANY MORE THAN I DO. WELL, YEAAH. SHE is just so inspirational and awesome. Wow.
as someone who was diagnosed with type i ( more severe, for anyone wondering / doesn’t know the terminology ) bipolar disorder and has been struggling since I was a kid, I appreciate you talking about mental health and spreading awareness. i was literally crying when I saw this come up, and i couldn’t be happier we’re getting more awareness!
“More severe” isn’t really healthy terminology for the distinction between Bipolar I and II, it’s a difference in the experiences of mania. Not a critique, just trying to help with the understanding and de stigmatizing of both I and II.
I'd give anything for a ten minute conversation with this angel.
Watching this a year later and it is still EVERYTHING. ESP with the manic pixie dream girl feeling and being fun when you are fun, but seen as the C word when you aren’t. Been sober almost one year and it’s helped me immensely, I’ve grown so much and am still so grateful for you Ashley 💕💕💕
I love Halsey she's so adorable and talented both on the inside and outside, with her lovely mentality :)
This halsey song is generating that calm happiness in my head.. ua-cam.com/video/Sz7IduJODXM/v-deo.html
My mum fell more inlove with Ash when she found out she had bipolar disorder because my mother has it too and she connected so much with her music because finally she had found an artist who brought a description in the form of art to how my mum was feeling, Ashley is fucking amazing and valid and all good things, I've loved her since 2014 💜💜💜
This song is generating happiness in my head.. ua-cam.com/video/Sz7IduJODXM/v-deo.html
She's so precious. She's helped me through my darkest times. I wouldn't be here commenting if it wasn't for you. Thankyou for existing and inspiring us. 💙💙💙
Soo excited 😭💜💜💜💜
This girl with halsey so lucky 🥺🥺
Wow. My mind just wrapped around the fact that, you, Ashley, Halsey we have way more in common then I expected. It feels that I know you on a different level. I got a diagnosis at 17 years old as well. Everyone around me also apologized to me when they realized that there was reasoning behind everything that was happening in life. I had severe panic attacks. Everyone around me did not know how to react to me. I was very difficult to handle at times. Then one day I got a diagnosis and it all made sense. I had the best team around me to puzzle piece everything with me. I felt set free. I knew I was not alone on this Journey, this route I chosen to take. I had complete understanding that there are others that feel the same. Now in my adulthood, I know what triggers me. I have self control. I may not be perfect, that is what makes us unique in our own way. All in all our brain and beauty is what makes us all different from each other so on and so fourth. I am so proud of you Halsey! You try to be the most honest as you can be. Even Your empathy is genuine. Have a wonderful rest of the year Ashley!
I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 in 2015 and I can 100% relate to being embarrassed/disliking your manic side. But that loud, crazy girl is also me and she too deserves love and acceptance .
She will forever be my biggest woman crush. I love her so much! How lucky are we to be living in the same time as Halsey!
Manic as a whole really spoke to me and was like I was hearing a beautiful version of my inner most feelings and thoughts and GOD I just connected with it so much. There were many nights I was screaming the lyrics and crying along to songs in my car. I would take drives around my block just to listen to it a few more times before getting home. I never wanted it to end. Thank you, just thank you for this album. so so much
I found a different version of without me and the song is stuck in my head and it's making me nuts .. ua-cam.com/video/Sz7IduJODXM/v-deo.html
