At best, growing up can be strange. Puberty can feel uncomfortable and foreign, especially when your body changes and you start to recognize it less and less. Billie Eilish’s early adolescent sadness might have been exacerbated by her shifting physical appearance.
The actress revealed that she had some distress because her body evolved more quickly than her mind in the recent Billie Eilish Vogue cover interview.
All I despised was my body. She remarked, “I would have done anything to be in a different one.” I was short and obese, and I had a strong desire to be a model. I started to develop quite early. At nine, I had boobs. My menstruation began at eleven. Thus, my body was moving more quickly than my mind.”
Billie is not the only one who feels anxious about her changing figure. Studies have indicated that a young person’s likelihood of experiencing mental health problems increases with the age at which they reach puberty. For girls in particular, this is true.
Billie continued in the interview to say that she had not given her body much thought until it suddenly got in the way and that her changing physique had come as a surprise.
Billie has been candid about her prior struggles with depression, self-harm, and thoughts of suicide. She claims that following a ballet accident that kept her out of commission at age 13, she first experienced depression and that it persisted until she was approximately 16. Of course, a variety of factors, including changes in brain chemistry, can exacerbate depression. Additionally, there are other coping mechanisms for depression, such as medicine, counseling, and mindfulness. Time was part of the solution for Billie.
“The only thing I can say to someone looking for advice on mental health is patience,” she remarked when asked. “I was tolerant of myself. I skipped that final action. I held out. Things deteriorate.
