Jessie J reveals about her OCD and ADHD diagnosis

On Saturdays, three months ago, the artist behind the “Bang Bang” hits took to Instagram to reveal her diagnosis: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

In the captions, she expressed, “It’s strange when when you’ve felt unique and experienced things differently throughout your life, only to have someone unexpectedly clarify why, leaving you with no choice but to acknowledge it.”

The singer additionally mentioned that viewing it positively and being surrounded by the right support system makes it feel empowering for them.

In her own words, she reflected, “This experience has caused me to reconsider every aspect of my life: my actions, my reactions, my past relationships, and even the ways I work and express love.”

The singer explained in the caption that the experience of performing has boosted her self-love. She uploaded two videos in her post, showcasing Jessie’s impressive vocals. In one video, it seemed to be from her childhood, while the other was taken during her successful career.

Several fans expressed well-wishes and gratitude toward her in the comment area. Additionally, many individuals shared their own stories and those of their loved ones dealing with similar situations. Watch the following videos and take a look at the moving message penned by the singer.

Jessie J apologizes for calling bi-sexuality a phase

According to Out Magazine, in May, Jessie took the stage at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles and sang her songs in order, following the timeline of her music career.

In addition to the other songs she performed, she shared an unnamed, previously unreleased piece about her past relationship with a woman. This song included an apology for her previous beliefs that bisexuality was merely a transitional phase.

In simpler terms, the song says, “In 2012, I ended things with my lovely girlfriend.” It continued, “Amidst media scrutiny, I labeled it a passing phase, baby, I apologize.”

The audience was taken aback by the song’s lyrics. Back in 2011, the singer openly shared with an outlet about her bisexuality. However, in an interview with The Mirror in 2014, she mentioned that it was just a phase and she intended to stop discussing it further and focus on finding a husband instead.

She also sang other songs during her show including Big White Room, Bang Bang, and Domino.
