Her openness about mental health reflects a broader movement in the entertainment industry, where more artists are choosing to speak out about their mental well-being. Megan Thee Stallion has encouraged her fans to take mental health seriously and to seek help if they are struggling. In her words, mental health is “a journey,” and it’s essential to prioritize self-care and acknowledge the impact of trauma.

She has taken time away from social media and limited her public appearances to protect her mental space.

Megan’s courage in sharing her experiences serves as a reminder that mental health struggles can affect anyone, and healing requires time, patience, and support. Through her journey, she hopes to break down barriers and encourage others to address their own mental health with compassion and understanding.Ever since being shot, I’ve had anxiety about performing. I always think somebody’s going to do something to me,” the WAP rapper said.
“So many guys online say, ‘You should have got shot in the head,’ ‘He should’ve finished the job,’ ‘He should have killed your ****,’ she continued.
“I can’t separate trolling from real life. Am I safe to perform in front of thousands of people? I don’t know who’s in this crowd.”
After Tory was sentenced to ten years in prison for the shooting, she said, “I had a real breakdown. I didn’t feel like my life had any kind of value. I had to call 911 because I couldn’t breathe. I thought I was about to die.”
“It was like three days in bed. I just cried every day. I never would have been a suicidal person . . . but I was feeling like that. I was like, I’d rather not live through this than to have to live with this.”
But after seeking help,Megan Thee Stallion said, “For the first time since my momma was alive, I’m taking care of myself. I do feel hopeful for what’s next for me. I’m manifesting happiness,” she concluded.
