It's been great to feel closer to myself, but I've always felt this way. I took the step of changing my pronouns to they/them - which has been a weird experience, a harder experience to go through in front of people, as a famous person. And when I read into it, it really struck with me, and I completely understood: That is who I am, and that's how I felt. About two and a half years ago, I started learning about this language that is used for genderqueer people, which makes their life a little bit easier. Being known as he and him never felt correct or right. My whole life, my gender has been something that I felt very uncomfortable about, something I felt very confused about. And I find talking about it great and good. So just like everyone who's in their late 20s, I feel like I'm just trying to figure myself out so I can lead a happier life, because my early 20s were just really tumultuous. I have OCD, so it's not necessarily a depression that I have, it's an anxiety disorder - and then I become depressed because of the anxiety disorder. And it's taken a good four, five years to get into a place where I just feel positive again about stuff, about life. But for me, becoming famous, becoming successful, really, really wreaked havoc on my insecurities and my mental health. I mean, I have mental health in my family, and I think no matter how my life was going to go, I probably was always going to have to battle it at some point - just from a genetic standpoint. Do you mind opening up a little bit about that for us? I think a lot of people are feeling that one way or another nowadays. You have been very open in recent interviews about just having been hit hard by mental stress.
