The singer continued by saying that she felt "forced to advocate" for her body since she was in so much pain as she searched for answers surrounding her health struggles.

"For myself, the medications I've been on have only made things worse for my physical and mental health. I also tried supplements and that didn't fully work," she wrote. "I am finally starting to get a routine that is helping my body function better and this moment of relief feels like oxygen."

"Our bodies have their own needs and every remedy is not for everyone. It's frustrating because you have to experiment knowing that the cost can result in pain and hopelessness," she added. "And having patience is trying. To find what works and what doesn't."
