Downer After Downer

man sad 4SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This singer is in a really bad state. He ingests downer after downer (alcohol, meds, pot), and then can’t understand why he’s so depressed and completely unable to cope with the stresses of touring.

He has been so depressed lately that his team is making sure that he has someone around him (a parent, an ex, a close friend) 24/7 to prevent him from harming himself.

[Optional] Should someone who is not sober/emotionally depressed take a break from working to deal with their issues?

SOLVED!

Singer: Justin Bieber

Your friends at Blind Gossip told you way back in 2016 that Justin Bieber was suffering from severe depression and engaging in significant substance abuse.

It took a few years, but Justin himself just confirmed both of those facts!

From The New York Daily News:

Justin Bieber gets candid about child stardom leading him to depression and drug use

The Biebs is finally loving himself.

Justin Bieber, 25, took to Instagram Monday with a lengthy, now-viral message highlighting the perils of child fame.

“It’s hard to get out of bed in the morning with the right attitude when you … are overwhelmed with your life your past, job, responsibilities, emotions, your family, finances, your relationships,” the Canadian pop star wrote. “When it feels like there’s trouble after trouble after trouble. You start foreseeing the day through lenses of ‘dread’ … Sometimes it can even get to the point where you don’t even want to live anymore.”

Despite his fame and riches, Bieber says he “can fully sympathize” with these feelings.

Bieber revealed he “was still unfulfilled” even with the world at his feet, and cited the “insane pressure and responsibility” of child stardom.

“Have u noticed the statistics of child stars and the outcome of their life?” he writes. “I went from a 13 year old boy from a small town to being praised left and right by the world.”

At 18, Bieber had “no skills in the real world,” and was “doing pretty heavy drugs” the next year, having “abused all of my relationships.” Bieber explained he “became resentful, disrespectful to women, and angry.”

And by the time he turned 20, Bieber “made every bad decision you could have thought of,” going from universal adoration to “the most ridiculed, judged and hated person in the world!”

Eventually, Bieber says, he managed to “bounce back.” He credits wife Hailey Bieber and “the best season of my life ‘MARRIAGE’ !!'” with teaching him “patience, trust, commitment, kindness, humility, and all of the things it looks like to be a good man.”

It’s great to know that his marriage to Hailey Baldwin Bieber is helping him to be a better and happier person!

Moonpie was first with the correct response!

    Justin Biebs. He really bit off more than he could chew with this attempted comeback. He needs to throw away his ambitions and just rest for a while without anything on his calendar. Find something new and fulfilling with his life. His fans will be around should he ever want to return to them with what is required to be an idol. Hope you get well Justin.

  3. amesr09 says

    This is definitely Justin Bieber. I thought it was weird that his estranged mother came to LA to be with him, and after canceling his meet and greets his ex Selena Gomez also came around when these two werent in a friendly place. It made me think things were really bad for Selena to come through. It was obvious he was not ready for tour, and his manager is known to be a money hungry person. JB’s over scheduled w/hardly any days off. Its a recipe for disaster.

  4. MademoiselleRose says

    Bieber – He needs to grow up and take responsibility. He may not have had so much control before, but he’s an adult and he does now. He takes drugs then can’t fulfill his business obligations properly and cries poor me even though he’s got millions in the bank to get help. He’s obviously not happy doing what he’s doing so make changes, take responsibility, be an adult, be a professional, pull back for a year or two and sort yourself out instead of letting yourself and everyone else…

    If he was a true “artist” he would be working out his issues VIA his art. But since he is a puppet with the bare minimum of what constitutes “talent” , he will simply self destruct.in 5….4….3….2…..

  7. natybee says

    Well this is obviously Justin Bieber. Its pretty sad that he has all these people around him and their more concerned about the money than the person thats making it for them. I think anyone thats had depression knows how hard day to day life is and i can’t imagine what its like to have a room full of people and feel like they dont care about your mentality. From the childhood hes had i would say this is a deep rooted problem.

    • slimfast10 says

      ^natybee I’ve been posting things like this about him for years, where are his parents? i am not just saying now but since the beginning of his fame. He has been on this destructive path for years. His handlers, all in in for the Bucks, allowing him to behave In dangerous out of control behavior. Now he is is in real trouble. If he was my son, I would force him to get the help he needs no matter what the price. This story sickens me.

    • natybee says

      Yes i think its something that’s stemmed from his childhood. His mum had a lot of problems growing up, then he had a deadbeat dad, grew up on the poverty line and then came into all this money and fame with a manager that was brand new to the business and had no idea how to help a huge pop star out. he has a lot of issues that someone with deep rooted problems has i.e anger issues, abandonment, trust, anxiety. I think he maybe just feels lost. If he went to rehab last year instead of bible…

  9. RitaSkeeter says

    No idea on the singer… maybe someone from 1D… they must have realised they’re almost over…

    But yes, it’s perfectly fine to take a break for mental health. Nothing is more important than your life… also, i hate being that person, but i find marijuana helpful in depression… so i don’t know how pot can be a downer…

  14. smleighton says

    100% Justin Bieber

    I saw a video of him sitting on stage at one of his shows where he looked totally drained, and he had a rag in his hand that he used at one point in the vid to wipe a tear it looked like

  15. starrchild says

    It’s the BIEBS. JUSTIN BIEBER….can’t feel any empathy for him. Just can’t.

  16. chaseboogie says

    I don’t know who’s on tour other than biebs. Sooooo,,,,,,I’ll go with that.

  17. kcphilly says

    Bieber who cancelled his M&Gs at his shows because meeting fans was “too draining” on him and leaves him “depressed” and who’s been laying down on the stage for long periods of time during his recent shows.

    Sounds like he tried his “comeback” too soon. He obviously still has a lot of issues to work on.

  19. meowmasita says

    It’s Justin Beiber, it’s no secret he’s been having a rough time on this tour.

    Yes, definitely. Spin it as exhaustion for the press and go to rehab.

  21. johnnyjewel says

    JUSTIN BIEBER

    He should be open with his fans if he is dealing with mental illness. It could change his whole image. People are afraid to speak out about mental health for seeming weak or crazy. For a public figure, it’s even worse. I think of Halsey, her being bipolar, being open about it and then hanging out with Justin.

    People who struggle with mental illness often succumb to drugs to relieve their suffering. Prescribed meds often don’t work.

    The whole system needs to change.

    • fufufrankie says

      On the contrary, most of the SSRI antidepressants work quite well, with few serious side effects.

    • johnnyjewel says

      @FuFu

      If you think SSRIs are the only medications that are used to treat mental health, you’re an idiot.

      And if you think those are mostly infallible, you are the crown jewel of idiots.

  23. Vanessa501 says

    Beiber. It’s really quite worrying seeing the mess he’s in and the downward spiral he seems unable to control.

  27. BennyLavaandtheJets says

    I’m not sure who the singer is, but I wanted to take a stab at the follow-up.

    Should they take a break to deal with their issues? That’s such a complicated question, and I don’t think there is one answer for everyone. I would want to know how well they are functioning, and what the support level is like at their job. Also, the hours and travel, etc.

    And it would depend on what they’d be doing with the time off. And a big one, do THEY see the problem?

  28. Jester says

    Justin Bieber

    Yes, of course he should be taking a break to get the help he needs. What is wrong with his ‘handlers’ and especially, family?

  30. Sandy24 says

    Oh Justin, get help! Downers just make you MORE depressed!
    Selena at his concert last night and him posting a picture of them when they were a couple.
    They should NOT let him work in that state. Touring is demanding physically and mentally as it is. They are treating him like a plow horse intended for slaughter

  33. Okayeah says

    Aw, is this Bieber? I kind of don’t care. But yes, obviously, he should go away for a while and deal with his stuff.

    • lily0182 says

      HINTS: a parent, an ex, a close friend = His previously MIA Mom, Selena Gomez, Hailey Baldwin

    • fufufrankie says

      Selena is the ex, not Hailey Baldwin. Baldwin was a fling – Selena is his first love and holds a dear place in his heart and with his family.

  38. kimbers says

    Justin Bieber

    He should take a break from touring and self medicating. If u smoke don’t smoke the Indica. Sativas would be a better choice since they tend not to be such downers.

    A dry spell for a few months could do wonders on bringing back energy and getting a handle on the depressed feelings.

  42. Carolina Girl says

    Justin Beiber looks depressed in all of his pictures lately and canceled the Meet and Greets because he can’t take the stress.

    Somebody needs to kick him in the butt and get him out of this rut. He should be on top of the world. Perfect example of “laying down with dogs and getting up with fleas”. He got in with the wrong crowd now he is paying and it will probably get worse. His manager has failed him.

  44. Aristacats says

    Obviously Bieber and how he screwed his beliebers over with the whole M&G mess.

    He needs to work on himself and get actual help, I don’t know why he/his team thought going on tour right now would be the best decision for him.

  49. gingercat says

    I’m going to guess Justin Beiber on this one. I know there was a recent clip of him talking about being drunk while he was on stage.

    He needs serious rehab and therapy.

  51. Delightful says

    Justin Bieber. it would make sense for him to take some time to get off the chemicals, but financially it would ruin him.

  53. Guccigal says

    Bieber
    He’s been cancelling the meet and greets after concerts due to the ” emotional toll”

  66. newuser22 says

    Justin B
    No. Its unfair to his fans. He should get his shit together & be more responsible or he’ll def loose his following.

  67. jajarose says

    Justin Bieber.

    I hope he gets help, alcohol, in particular, is the worst substance to use when depressed or low in mood.

    • fufufrankie says

      Yes, he should get help. Alcohol is indeed a depressant that alcoholics run to when they are depressed which results in a vicious, downward cycle.

      What’s unfair is when an addict keeps denying their addiction. The very best thing they can do is admit they have a problem, get help, make amends and live one day at a time.

      I’m a Belieber and want Justin to take the time to take for himself and heal his relationships with his family and close friends.

  68. mere1012 says

    Singer: Justin Bieber

    He should definitely take a break so he can focus on his mental and emotional health.

  73. MomaJackie says

    The Bieber. Yes, they should take a break. All of the money in the world cannot buy health nor happiness.

    • Aurelia says

      Justin B. He’s a money machine to many people, and that’s it. I suspect he’s realizes this. I wish him well, I am not a fan, but, I see a young man who is overwhelmed. Too bad he can’t go someplace for six months and be left alone.

    • TheSalmon says

      He just posted that long Instagram about canceling all his meet and greets because they leave him feeling depleted and depressed, due to the crushing weight of everyone’s expectations.
      He’s not taking a break anytime soon, making too much money for too many people.
      We need to pay more attention to the studies showing fame/wealth at an early age tends to stunt maturity — generally at about the age the fame/wealth occurs. So he still acts 15ish. (Addiction works much the same way.)

    • gagirl says

      Actually, I think we need to pay more attention to how sick and evil Hollywood truly is. Justin’s behavior is a symptom of his environment.

    • bhakti says

      That was my guess too. Makes me sad to think it’s him. I’m really rooting for him. JB has a lot of talent, and I think some poor choices aside, he’s got a good heart.

    • mostlylurker says

      i wish depression on no one; but good heart? like when he was snorting coke and letting his buddy take the fall? like when he was using racial epithets? Like he he was using hookers and cheating? or is that all “just being a kid” or “under stress”? no excuses. get help surely, but lets not make excuses for bad behavior. he comes from a trashy family and is not risking above it.

    • thisisannoying says

      @Mostlylurker He’s an idiot but somehow I too think he has a decent heart, just irresponsible adults around him enabling a stupid lifestyle with stupid selfish decisions.
