Eilish admitted in a recent interview that she has suffered from bouts of depression. “I’m afraid of people, I’m afraid of the world. It’s just scary for somebody like me, and even if it’s not scary, it means being on and being vulnerable.”

Billie Eilish has painted a picture of what it is like to live with depression. The Grammy-award winner opened up about her mental health struggles in a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine published earlier this week.

In it, the 22-year-old pop star talked about what it has been like to suffer from debilitating depression for so many years, writing in her journal: ‘I know I’m lucky/But I’m so unhappy.‘ She also revealed she suffered from a major bout of depression last summer.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depressive disorder (also known as depression) is a common mental disorder that involves a depressed mood or loss of pleasure or interest in activities for long periods of time. Depression affects all aspects of life, including relationships with family, friends and community.

“It was just [more real] than it’s ever been before,” the singer said about her mental health struggles, adding: “My whole life, I’ve never been a happy person, really. I’ve been a joyous person, but not a happy person. I experience joy and laughter and I can find fun in things, but I’m a depressed person.”

The ‘Everything I Wanted‘ singer revealed in the interview that she has ‘suffered with a lot of depression’ her whole life. “When things happen in my soul, or whatever, the thing I’ve always held on to is, ‘Well, it’ll pass. It’ll come in waves and it’ll get worse and it’ll get better.’ And that’s always brought me comfort. And this time, I literally was like, ‘I don’t care. I don’t even want it to get better’.”

Eilish said that amid all this, she found her anchor in her family. Her parents Maggie Baird and Patrick O’Connell, brother Finneas O’Connell and best friend Zoe Donahoe kept her going through this difficult time. The singer also confessed that she realised she needed to get out of the house more often, despite her being a celebrity enjoying massive fame.

Elsewhere in the interview, Eilish revealed that she ‘hit a turning point’ in life. “I had this moment of like, ‘Oh, my God, I haven’t had fun in seven years.’ Truly.

I had this illusion that I had, because who experiences going to the Grammys at basically 17 and winning five? But in life, I realised I had really not experienced that much. I didn’t go outside for five years. How was I supposed to have any experiences?”

Eilish told the publication that she ‘slowly started going out more’, starting with grocery store trips and then going with her friends to parties and concerts. “I’m afraid of people, I’m afraid of the world.

It’s just scary for somebody like me, and even if it’s not scary, it means being on and being vulnerable and being seen and being filmed, and whatever. But with that all in mind, I have been choosing to do the thing that scares me more. I am biting the bullet and existing in the world for once.”

Interestingly, while the singer has chosen to be transparent about her own struggles with depression, she confessed in her interview that she has ‘no interest’ in being a ‘celebrity spokesperson or advocate’ for mental health.

“I think it is really weird when you are in the middle of something and somebody asks you to be the advocate for the thing you’re in the middle of. I understand it’s important, and I understand it’s an epidemic and it needs to be talked about, but I don’t want to be the role model for depression…”

The Barbie singer was “never planning” on talking about her sexuality publicly.

Following Billie Eilish’s Barbie song going viral last year and winning the singer her second Oscar, the 22-year-old is getting ready to release her third studio album next month, Hit Me Hard And Soft. Amidst her talking about her forthcoming record, she got candid about her queer identity and sexuality.Back in December, Billie Eilish was outed on the red carpet after making comments about being attracted to girls on Variety’s cover story about the singer. After she called out the publication for “outing me on a red carpet at 11 a.m. instead of talking about anything else that matters,” she expanded on her thoughts on being out to Rolling Stone. In her words:

[I] was never planning on talking about my sexuality in a million years. The whole world suddenly decided who I was, and I didn’t get to say anything or control any of it. Nobody should be pressured into being one thing or the other, and I think that there’s a lot of wanting labels all over the place. Dude, I’ve known people that don’t know their sexuality, or feel comfortable with it, until they’re in their forties, fifties, sixties. It takes a while to find yourself, and I think it’s really unfair, the way that the internet bullies you into talking about who you are and what you are.

Ahead of the December red carpet appearance, fans of Billie Eilish had a hunch the singer was part of the LGBTQ+ community following her past comments, social media posts along with the queer role in her TV debut, Amazon’s Swarm. However, as Eilish shared with the magazine, she was not happy with the way the public coerced her to speak on the personal subject.

In the new interview, the “What Was I Made For?” singer shared that she’s “been in love with girls” for her “whole life,” but last year she made more concrete realizations about her sexuality. On the upcoming album, there’s a song called “Lunch,” which she played for the first time at a Coachella party that she surprised the festival with during its first weekend. As the lyrics detail: “I could eat that girl for lunch / And she dances on my tongue.”

When Eilish was asked about what she does to decompress, she answered that it was “sex.” Here’s how she expanded on why:

I basically talk about sex any time I possibly can. That’s literally my favorite topic. My experience as a woman has been that it’s seen in such a weird way. People are so uncomfortable talking about it, and weirded out when women are very comfortable in their sexuality and communicative in it. I think it’s such a frowned-upon thing to talk about, and I think that should change. You asked me what I do to decompress? That shit can really, really save you sometimes, just saying. Can’t recommend it more, to be real.

During the cover story, Eilish also opened up about the importance of self-pleasure in her life, saying that it allows her to “have such a raw, deep connection” with herself and empowers her to have “love” for her body that she had not had prior. Despite the singer not planning on delving into these topics prior, it sounds like Hit Me Hard And Soft will allow her to express her thoughts and feelings on the subject in even more powerful ways. Plus, it gives her fans more bangers to enjoy, of course.

Eilish’s album is set to come out on May 17. In the meantime, you can hear her Oscar-winning song “What Was I Made For?” in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, which is now streaming with a Max subscription.

The pop star told ‘Rolling Stone’ it’s gotten to the point where “you can’t even be in your own house”

In a cover story interview with Rolling Stone published on Wednesday, April 24, the Grammy winner gets candid about how her public persona can sometimes clash with her private life.

“Just because he’s anxious doesn’t mean he couldn’t rip your face off if you come into my house,” Eilish, 22, said of her gray pit bull named Shark — who currently takes anti-anxiety medications like trazodone and Reconcile for dogs.

The “everything i wanted” artist then reflected on how even with owning a highly protective dog as well as having security guards, that it’s sometimes not enough to keep some overzealous fans at bay.

“It’s not in the job description, for sure,” Eilish told the outlet.

“I had really scary things happen in my personal life and my safety was compromised a couple of times, and that’s a big part of my life. That is something I just have to live with. But I don’t know, it really made me resentful of my life, when you can’t even be in your own house.”

Although she didn’t go into detail about any scary experiences in particular, she has learned what helps her to cope — sex.

“I basically talk about sex any time I possibly can,” the pop star said during the interview.

“That’s literally my favorite topic. My experience as a woman has been that it’s seen in such a weird way. People are so uncomfortable talking about it, and weirded out when women are very comfortable in their sexuality and communicative in it. I think it’s such a frowned-upon thing to talk about, and I think that should change.”

“You asked me what I do to decompress? That s— can really, really save you sometimes, just saying. Can’t recommend it more, to be real,” Eilish added.

The wide-ranging interview took place in February, less than 48 hours after she won song of the year at the Grammys for “What Was I Made For?”

In the days that followed, the hitmaker was hard at work shooting the cover for her third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.

This time around, Eilish will not be sharing any singles from the upcoming project.

“I don’t like singles from albums,” she told the publication.

“Every single time an artist I love puts out a single without the context of the album, I’m just already prone to hating on it. I really don’t like when things are out of context. This album is like a family: I don’t want one little kid to be in the middle of the room alone.”
