Paramore singer Hayley Williams opened up about her mental health struggles in a candid interview with Paper Magazine.
According to reports on People.com, the singer spoke openly about her struggles, which she described as leaving her feeling as though a “piano fell right on top of me.” Williams explained in the piece that she began to struggle with her mental health in the summer of 2015 after thinking that “everything was finally going to be perfect and she will live happily ever after,” while engaged to former husband, New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert.
“I’m still hesitant to call it depression. Mostly out of fear people will put it in a headline, as if depression is unique and interesting and deserves a click. Psychology is interesting. Depression is torment,” she recalled, adding, “(Writing) helped me understand that emotional wellness and physical health are actually related. It helped me realise that I shouldn’t have ever married my ex and that love is not something we can just extract from one other. Writing opened my heart to healing.”
