This Monday, April 17, 2023, Faustine Bollaert received the singer Lenni-Kim on the set of his show “It starts today” on France 2. Now 21 years old, the famous Quebec singer known for his participation in the season 2 of “The Voice Kids” in 2015 but also for its participation in season 8 of “Dancing with the stars”, rose to fame very early in Canada.
Asked to explain his management of success as a teenager, the artist confessed to having suffered from “major depression with severe anxiety”. A diagnosis given by a healthcare professional. “At the beginning, I was very tired, I was not present at all even professionally. I felt more professional. I didn’t really give all my attention and it can start with a lot of fatigue. And at some point, it’s really a mental fatigue. Sometimes you’re not even able to, just take your shower, it’s like a sport. You really have to force yourself to go and take it. I couldn’t even open my emails, my emails. I couldn’t watch anything. I was completely isolated.” he revealed.
Against all odds, the young man thus had suicidal thoughts despite a daily life that some could have described as idyllic: “I had lots of dark thoughts. Not in relation to me, but in relation to life, to the perspective. I didn’t want to hurt myself, but I had plenty of scenarios…I was imagining how I was going to die all the time.”
Lenni-Kim provides an update on Twitter
The day after his poignant testimony, the singer took to Twitter to make an important update regarding his state of health. “I’m getting a lot of messages of support following my interview on ‘It starts today’…I just want to clarify that my depression is over and now I’m doing great. That’s it I love you,” he wrote. .
After having chained albums, series, films and television shows for a long time, the 21-year-old artist also seems to be taking a short break in his career.
I get a lot of messages of support following my interview on “It starts today”… I just want to clarify that my depression is over and now I’m doing very well. There you go ❤️
