Jessie J has long been an open book.
And she’s now waxing candid about a chapter that has been freshly written.

Full story below…
In a frank address on social media, the vocal powerhouse and mom of one shared how the diagnosis has helped contextualize so much about all corners of her life.
Read her insightful open letter below:
“Hello.
I was diagnosed with ADHD and OCD about 3 months ago. In telling people a lot of the reaction I got was “Yeah I mean we knew that” (which I’m sure some of you are doing right now) ???? and of course I knew to some extent but having a baby has let’s say… exposed it a lot more ????????which was comforting in a way, as it made it feel less heavy and scary. But also in moments has made me feel like I can’t talk about it. F*** that. Here I am talking about it. Embracing it with the ???? ????
It’s weird when you know you have been a little different and felt things differently your whole life, and finally one day when you least expect it, someone really explains why and you can’t avoid it. ADHD has such a wide spectrum it’s like a mystery putting your version of it together, that’s how it’s felt for me. In really understanding ways to cope, excel and grow with it. Tbh I low key feel like it’s a superpower as long as you look at it from the right perspective and have the right support and people around you that can navigate it with you.
It’s made me re think about my whole life. The way I’ve been, the way I deal with things. The relationships I have had. How I work and how I love.
It’s empowered me and honestly sometimes has overwhelmed me all at the same time. If there is one thing social media has given me, it’s the chance to relate, connect and heal with strangers that have kinds hearts and are going through a similar thing. I have always been honest in the journey I’m going through in life.
And I know there are so many people that are going through this same thing and I’m honestly just reaching out to hold your hand and because I need mine held too. I have no boundaries lol we know that.
It has made me love myself even more. I’m hugging 11 year old me. Who would clean her trainers with a toothbrush when she was stressed and to this day has lived with a 1000 lists to not feel like life will crumble ????
Here’s to getting to know yourself even more through life. And loving yourself all the way. Nothing in life defines us, but it helps us grow and become a more wholesome version of ourselves.”
More power to her and kudos for speaking candidly about such a personal topic.
