Popular recording artist Billie Eilish has become a beacon to music lovers today for struggling with mental health issues.

“My message has always been to accept yourself no matter what, to love yourself, to embrace your flaws. And the more you talk about anxiety and depression, the less power it has over you.”

It’s the power of self-acceptance and open conversation when dealing with anxiety and depression.  The more you talk about your struggles — instead of hiding them — the less control they have over you.

Being ashamed of what you’re going through is useless. Talk about it. Own it. And in doing so, you’ll weaken its grip on you.
