Teletubby 131,839 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Shawn Mendes sees a therapist twice a week but admitted that he prefers to be "a little f***** up" in order to write better songs. Asked by Wonderland magazine how often he sees a therapist, he said: "Twice a week. Where I am currently in my life, it’s a lot about understanding you just got to let your humanity spill out, you know? “You just gotta let it be there. I’m just trying to be there for myself and accept that. It’s hard. Sometimes it’s like I don’t know what I want to say."And sometimes also I have this weird thing when I’m making music I kind of wanna be a little f***** up. "Because you’re coming from a place of angst and you’re making music and you’re anxious, but it’s also creating emotional stuff. It’s weird.” source source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hELXIG 41,145 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I've heard of this a lot where artists feel they write better music when they're less happy, and often feel afraid to deal with their anxiety and depression in case they lose their creative edge. I mean it makes sense, it's called being a 'tortured artist' I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyaway 15,350 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Well, most artists get very inspired by personal struggles to write music. It makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessionalClown 10,639 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I mean it definitely makes sense. Most artists who create the best things have a little something happening up there. I mean, practically all of the people we consider the best artists of all time (painting) had bipolar disorder, depression, or schizophrenia. A lot of the best music artists have made their best albums/songs in time of desperation and sadness like Eric Clapton Tears in Heaven, Depeche Mode Ultra, and Blackstar by Bowie.

I mean it makes sense, it's called being a 'tortured artist' It's 1000% truth. I am a poet and even have tumblr page with 20k followers. I was writing like crazy. I put out new content nearly everyday. Since I take my depression and anxiety meds, I haven't written a thing for a year now. Now I understand people like Kanye who don't want to get a treatment because they fear losing creativity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
