Benee has opened up about her mental health struggles over the past year in an Instagram post marking World Mental Health day.
The Kiwi musician shared that she is "not happy a lot of the time", and that both 2020 and 2021 had been hard.
"I've spent a lot of this year under my weight blanket & not nearly enough time making music which made me feel even worse lol (sic)," she shared.
"There have been moments when I really felt like I wasn't going to get through it all I know so many of you will relate.
"I'm still navigating my own mental health journey but I'm so glad that ppl are finally starting to talk more openly about their own struggles. There are so many bootiful ppl out there and life can be SOOOO good- it really pushes me to keep trying to feel better."
She highlighted the fact that she has the help she needs, but encouraged her fans to reach out to someone if they too were struggling.
"I've been filled with so many doubts lately, but knowing that even a few of u might be able to take something away from a post like this makes me want to keep this dialogue going.
"If you are struggling, I want you to reach out to someone, even anonymously. If you feel like it, go ham on venting in the comment section. I'd love to know how you guys have been feeling, no matter how bad (sic)."
Benee also teased new music telling her fans that it was coming "sooner than u think".
"I'm so grateful to have this platform and I don't know what I'd be doing without my music shtuff (sic)."
