Pop sensation Kesha is speaking out about her battle with extreme anxiety and how embracing her spirituality played a crucial role in her healing process. During a conversation with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the renowned “Tik Tok” singer shared that her anxiety had become so severe that she believed she was on the verge of a “psychotic break.”
Describing her experience as a “crazy psychedelic spiritual experience,” Kesha, 36, explained that her anxiety had reached a point where her brain felt overwhelmed, causing her to question her mental stability. She chronicled this intense emotional journey in her latest album, “Gag Order,” which delves into her personal struggles and growth.
However, it was when Kesha decided to confront her emotions head-on and explore her spirituality that she found solace and inner peace. Revealing her affinity for the supernatural and unexplained phenomena, she shared, “I’m a triple Pisces, I love weird, unexplainable, spiritual, supernatural stuff.” This deep connection to the spiritual realm led her down a rabbit hole of exploring various spiritual beliefs and paranormal phenomena, as she sought to understand and connect with others who shared similar experiences.
Kesha, who now hosts a podcast called “Kesha and the Creepies,” dedicated to eerie tales and supernatural encounters, has always expressed her fascination with the mystical and cosmic elements of life. She believes that creating music allows her to tap into a profound connection between her soul and something greater than herself.
One of the tracks on her album, titled “Happy,” captures Kesha’s desire for liberation and a genuine sense of joy. In the song, she candidly expresses her yearning to let go, trust the process, and embrace the universe’s guidance. Opening up about her growth as an artist and as an individual, she acknowledged the need to confront her personal challenges and mature.
As Kesha reflected on her journey, she said, “This album documents the time I had to deal with some s–t, and I just had to walk through it, and it was going to be a lot of uncomfortable stuff. And it has really helped me grow into a woman.”
Kesha’s brave exploration of her anxiety and her journey towards healing through spirituality serves as an inspiration to many. Her willingness to confront her struggles head-on and find solace in the supernatural demonstrates the power of self-discovery and embracing the unknown. As she continues to create music that resonates with her audience, Kesha’s personal growth serves as a reminder that finding peace often requires confronting our fears and embracing the mysteries of life.
