Charli XCX Opens Up About Mental Health Struggles and Self-Care in Candid Interview
Charli XCX recently opened up about her struggles with mental health in a candid interview with Rolling Stone. The pop star admitted that the constant scrutiny and pressure surrounding her work can be overwhelming, leading her to take a step back from social media for the sake of her well-being. Despite being known as an "online artist," Charli revealed that she has been struggling with her mental health more than ever before.
During the interview, Charli set boundaries by refusing to discuss the meaning behind her new songs, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing her mental health. She acknowledged that she has been dealing with anxiety and has taken steps to manage it, such as reducing her coffee intake, attending therapy regularly, and planning a less physically demanding tour.
In a subsequent interview, Charli expressed that she is still grappling with the emotional toll of online chatter and hinted at taking a break from press engagements. She shared her plans to step away from interviews for a while, indicating that her conversation with Rolling Stone might be her last long-form interview for some time.
Despite her challenges, Charli is gearing up for the release of her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, scheduled to drop on 24 July. As she navigates her mental health journey, Charli remains focused on her music and well-being, prioritizing self-care and setting boundaries to protect her mental health.
