Jessie J, the beloved singer known for her authenticity and realness, recently shared some personal health news with her fans. In a candid post on Instagram, the 36-year-old revealed that she was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) about three months ago.
While some may have already suspected these diagnoses, Jessie explained that having a baby last year has brought these conditions to the forefront. She described this as both comforting and scary, as it has allowed her to better understand herself but also made her feel like she can't talk about it at times.
Despite any doubts or fears, Jessie declared these conditions as her "superpowers" and refused to let them define or limit her. She boldly stated, "F**k that. Here I am talking about it." For those unfamiliar, ADHD affects behavior and can cause restlessness and impulsiveness, while OCD is a mental health condition characterized by obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can interfere with daily life.
Jessie, whose given name is Jessica Cornish, shared that finally having an explanation for her differences has made her rethink aspects of her life, such as relationships and work. She acknowledged that it can be overwhelming at times, but also empowering to connect with others going through similar experiences on social media.
The "Price Tag" singer ended her post by sending love to her 11-year-old self who used to clean her trainers with a toothbrush when stressed, admitting that she still lives by "1,000 lists" to cope with life's challenges. She encouraged her followers to embrace themselves and continue growing and loving themselves.
Jessie received an outpouring of support from fans and fellow musicians, including Paloma Faith, who also has ADHD. This is not the first time Jessie has opened up about her personal struggles on social media, having previously shared about her miscarriage and postpartum experiences.
Her statement about not wanting to "get her body back" after giving birth also garnered positive reactions, as she encouraged women to embrace their bodies as they are. Jessie's journey to self-acceptance and growth serves as an inspiration to many, and she remains adored by her fans for always keeping it real.
