I love working with music and sharing it, and so I will continue to do what I love because I know there are many who can relate.\u201d She also added that pressures from the internet and \u201cnegative commentary\u201d on social media have only added to her struggle. However, she\u2019s working towards getting a clearer headspace. \u201cAnxiety and depression have taken over my life\u2026 to the point where sometimes the only thoughts in my mind are to not be here anymore. It\u2019s been so hard to see how many amazing things are going on in my life when my mind just isn\u2019t in the right place,\u201d she added. \u201cThe internet and its negative commentary played a big part. I shouldn\u2019t read comments, and I\u2019m working on that. I\u2019m also working on how to show my true self every day and not spend time on trying to look \u2018perfect\u2019 for the internet.\u201d View this post on Instagram Dixie D\u2019Amelio\u2019s family and friends, including Charli D\u2019Amelio, James Charles, and Larray, all commented and said how proud they were of her.
