Hayley Williams of Paramore Opens Up About Her Struggles with PTSD and Depression
Hayley reminded her fans that “small wins do help,” while encouraging them to learn more through the organizations
Inclusive Therapists,
Therapy for Black Girls, and
The Trevor Project.
“Obviously there are little things we can do in the day to day to cheer ourselves up or give ourselves space to really express how we feel and who we are,” she wrote. “I’ve always turned to music, dying/changing my hair, some form of community… but sometimes you just need more support than these things can give.”
And this isn’t the first time Hayley has advocated for others to prioritize their mental health. In August, she praised fellow musician
Chappell Roan for setting boundaries when it came to
“predatory behavior” from fans.
“This happens to every woman I know from this business, myself included,” Hayley wrote in an Instagram Story in August, per
People. “Social media has made this worse. I’m really thankful Chappell is willing to address it in a real way, in real time. It’s brave and unfortunately necessary.”
