Lizzo sent her supporters words of encouragement while facing her own mental health journey
The singer has been vocal about prioritizing her peace and happiness
“I’m still here, and so are you,” she wrote on Instagram Wednesday, May 21
Lizzo is getting candid about her mental health journey.
On Wednesday, May 21, the “Truth Hurts” singer, 37, took a moment to share with her nearly 12 million Instagram followers that she doesn’t always have everything together, while also letting her supporters know that it’s perfectly fine to feel that way.
“My crashouts about the world are valid. And so are yours,” her caption began.
A photo of Lizzo sitting, smiling as she showed off a black and white “God’s sexiest soldier” T-shirt accompanied the post. She also wore a black baseball cap from her Yitty shapewear line.
“Today I was bawling in bed… I cancelled my workout… I was driving around sobbing because some days I just can’t take it. This shit ain’t easy for anybody,” the “Water Me” singer confessed.

She added, “I have grace for everyone who feels like they’re going insane… for everyone who feels like nothing is good enough… for everyone who feels like they failed… I FEEL YOU.”
Lizzo concluded her post with a heartfelt reminder: “But I’m still here, and so are you.”
Her fans were appreciative of her words.
“If I ever bump into Lizzo, You’re getting the biggest hug 🫂💚💐,” one person commented. Another said, “Your honestly helps so many who are feeling the same way. Thank you.”
Another acknowledged the Grammy winner for using her platform to spread awareness for mental health, noting that “people are even more mean when you’re a celeb. They think you don’t have feelings and can’t be touched. It’s wrong to wish so much bad onto a stranger you don’t even know b/c of popularity or social status.”
In a second post on Wednesday, Lizzo wrote “Have a good day” as the caption to a clip of her playing the flute in a backyard.
The “About Damn Time” singer has opened up about her mental health before.
In a March 29 video of herself in the same backyard, standing inside a soundbath, she wrote, “I crashed out bad today BUT this time I didn’t bring it to the internet… you know what that’s called? ✨GROWTH✨.”
More recently, as Lizzo celebrated her birthday on April 27, she reflected on her strength.

“I’m a tough cookie. I tried my whole life not to cry and be seen as anything less than strong. I had a lot of anxiety leading up to my birthday and I could feel it clogging my emotions,” she captioned her post.
Lizzo admitted that just before her celebratory dinner, she was “freaking out” and “worrying if people were having a good time,” when all of a sudden, she realized her mother, siblings and best friend were sitting near her “eating and smiling” and making jokes.
“I lost it. I cried like a baby! I couldn’t control the tears pouring through the wall I’d been hiding behind. I was SO HAPPY because regardless of yesterday and regardless of what was gonna happen next, in that very moment I had everything I needed. In that moment everything was ok,” she wrote.
