Kesha is getting candid about how leaning into her spirituality has helped heal her extreme anxiety.

While chatting with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the Tik Tok singer revealed that her anxiety was getting so bad she thought she was having a psychotic break.

I had this crazy psychedelic spiritual experience in the midst of anxiety, it was pure anxiety, the 36-year-old said. My brain felt like I thought maybe it was the process of having a psychotic break or something.

He wrote about the sensation, which he described as an understated psychedelic trip, on his new album, Gag Order.

Yet it was only when she started leaning into those emotions and decided to actually tackle the problem that she found peace through spirituality.

I’m a triple Pisces, I love weird, unexplainable, spiritual, supernatural things, he explained.

So after that happened to me i went all the way down its my rabbit hole i am currently in its just the paranormal and also a different spirituality different things that people believe in. I’m just trying to read it because I feel like we’re all talking a similar thing.

Kesha, who hosts a creepy podcast called Kesha and the Creepies, has risen to fame for her love of the supernatural and paranormal.

In fact, the singer once said she feels a cosmic connection between my soul and something greater when she’s making music.

She was able to channel these feelings into another song from her album, Happy. In the hit track, the Praying singer opened up about her desire to finally feel free.

It’s just about the fact that I want to be happy, I want to let go. I want to be free, she told Lowe. I want to trust the process, trust the universe, all of those things.

And I feel like I just can’t stay in my childish self. So there’s an element of having to grow up, the Grammy nominee added.

And I feel like this album completely documents the moment where I was like, OK, I’ve got to go through some things and I just need to go through them, and it’s going to be really uncomfortable. And I feel like she really helped me become a woman, and you know, you hear it all on the album.
