I would pass out and collapse from my body being too weak, I needed to realize food is important for you so I could be physically able to perform every night.\u201d She went on to post another short message to her Instagram stories, where she thanked her fans for their support after opening up about the difficult situation she faces with her ED. \u201cYou guys saved me, and it\u2019s so important for me to continue to be vulnerable because this is what my music is all about,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI love you all endlessly.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time she\u2019s been vulnerable about her eating disorder; Barrett also spoke about the issue early last year in a live stream with fans, asking them not to make comments about her body.
