Justin Bieber’s Mental Health Issues Are Longstanding And His Timeout, Tour Cancellation Should Be Respected Opinion

Justin Bieber’s Mental Health Issues Are Longstanding And His Timeout, Tour Cancellation Should Be Respected Opinion//
Justin Bieber recently canceled the final 14 dates of his “Purpose World Tour,” and is now taking a break from his music career//
for the health of his “mind, heart, and soul. Based on Justin’s subsequent emotional open letter to fans explaining his reasons//
and his fraught history — it is abundantly clear that the Canadian needs a timeout. However, as is typical with anything Bieber-related,//
reaction to the pop superstar’s tour leg cancellation from most media, some celebrities,//
and many in the toxic culture that is the blogosphere, has been predictably negative. Some of that disaffection was a result of TMZ//
sensationalizing Bieber’s connection to Hillsong Church and their tacit claim that the megachurch was behind the singer nixing his last tour leg.//
However, both Justin and Hillsong have since denied the church was the reason for the abrupt ending of the “Purpose Tour.”//
In addition, Bieber’s reps released official statements revealing the prince of pop was “super exhausted” after his global trek.//
It shouldn’t be too hard for the reasonably minded to grasp that a young artist who only pulled out of 14 shows//
after performing a whopping 152 concerts in 16 months, and who has been on tour for six out of the eight years of his career,//
has evidently reached burnout. By publicly admitting he has limitations and needs to press pause on key aspects of his life, //
Justin re-sparked wider conversations about mental health and the importance of self-care. While the disappointment expressed//
by those who had tour tickets is understandable, much of the criticism, disrespect — and in some cases, online abuse//
directed at the singer after the tour announcement was indicative of a recurring theme when it comes to the Biebs.//
Namely, that whenever the pop superstar tries to talk about his mental and emotional health, he has been accused of being “selfish,”//
a “brat,” “lazy,” or some other pejorative. Such dismissal is especially ignorant and unacceptable given that this isn’t the first time//
that Bieber has opened up about his mental/emotional health issues. In May 2016, the singer showed signs of the strain of fame //
when he shared his feelings of discomfort at “fake” award shows in an Instagram post. That same month, the pop icon said//
he would no longer take pics with fans because the way he is frequently dehumanized by frenzied selfie-hunting fans left him feeling like a “zoo animal.//

In March of that year, Bieber canceled “Purpose” tour meet-and-greets with fans after an encounter with a dangerous “fan” //
and instances of harassment from members of the public during his tour stop in Boston. In an Instagram statement, //
Justin revealed mental health issues were behind his decision. He revealed that the meet-and-greets left him “feeling so drained //
and filled with so much of other people’s spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy. At the time Bieber explained, //
“I want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense. I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression. //
All of these declarations were treated with anger and derision by the blogosphere, most media, and some of the public.//
Clearly, the media’s largely non-sympathetic and non-contextualized coverage of the singer’s history of mental health problems//
has played an undeniable part in shaping that collective non-understanding. Back in February 2016, //
the Biebs admitted in his cover interview with GQ magazine that he previously took Adderall, a stimulant,//
to help him concentrate on work because of longtime sleep pattern problems. In December 2015,//
after a year of grinding promotion during Bieber’s comeback, he revealed that he suffered from depression//
and anxiety in a shocking interview with the UK’s NME music magazine. I just want people to know I’m human. //
I’m struggling just to get through the days. I think a lot of people are,” Justin told the publication.//
“You get lonely, you know, when you’re on the road,” he added.”People see the glam and the amazing stuff, but they don’t know the other side. //
This life can rip you apart.” Bieber also said that he lives with depression “all the time” and feels “isolated” by fame.//
In his Billboard cover profile last November, the superstar revealed he came “close to letting fame destroy” him. //
Going further back, in the 2013 concert-movie Believe, the superstar’s mother — Pattie Mallette — described her son’s nature as “anxious.” //
In January 2014, after Justin’s first arrest in Miami, Florida, the results from his toxicology tests revealed the presence of marijuana//
and Xanax in his system. The latter is often prescribed for anxiety and panic disorders. Let us know what you think in the comments section below//
