Now, the "Wonder" artist has turned to Instagram to share another update on his mental health with his fans.

Sharing a photo of himself playing guitar, he admitted in the caption of the post that he has been "been going through it lately."

"Tryna be the best ain’t really doing it for me anymore if i’m honest," he wrote. "Turns out just being me feels a whole lot better."

"I know there’s a lot of people out there struggling, i hope you get the support you need," he wrote. "Maybe some of you are the support others need right now..nothing beats a friend who really sees and cares about you."
