Throughout her career, Megan has been open about her mental health struggles.
In her song “Anxiety,” she raps, “They keep sayin’ I should get help/ But Idon’t even know what I need/ They keep sayin’ speak your truth/ And at thesame time say they don’t believe .”
Last month, she sat down with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden and Nadeska Alexis todiscuss how “Traumazine” allowed her to be more vulnerable.
“I could be sad and I’ll write a song like ‘Body,’” she said. “Or I could bepissed off and I’ll write a song like ‘Freak Nasty.’ I don’t write songs abouthow I feel, I write songs about how I want to feel.”

She continued, “So I feel like, on this album, it’s probably the first time Ifigured out how to talk about what I want to say, like, express myself alittle bit more.”
Megan shared that in the past she was taught not to discuss her personalbusiness with other people.
“I feel like it’s been so easy for people to tell my story for me, speak on mybehalf because I’m a nonchalant person,” she added. “But, like, I see now thatit can get out of control. So I feel like I wanted to just take control of mynarrative, take control of my own story. Tell it my way. Tell it from me.”
In 2021, Megan spoke about going to therapy to seek help after the death ofher parents.
Mom Holly Thomas died in March 2019 after battling brain cancer and her fatherdied when she was a teenager, People reports.
During Season Two of the Facebook Watch series “Peace of Mind with Taraji”last year, Megan said, “I’ve lost both of my parents. Now, I’m like, ‘Oh mygosh, who do I talk to? What do I do?’ And I just started learning that it’sOK to ask for help. And it’s OK to want to go get therapy.”
She told host Taraji P. Henson that she had previously thought seeing atherapist would make her “weak.”
“As a Black person, and when you think of therapy you think of, ‘Oh my gosh,I’m weak.’ You think of medication and you just think the worst,” she said inthe episode titled “Slaying Adversity with Megan Thee Stallion.” “That’s kindof what you see on TV too. Like, therapy wasn’t even presented in the media assomething that was good. Now, it’s becoming safe to say, ‘Alright now, there’sa little too much going on. Somebody help me.’”
