Megan Thee Stallion takes a step into providing mental health resources.
A website called "Bad Bitches Have Bad Days Too," newly founded by Megan Thee Stallion, will offer mental health resources to the audience, including connections to free counseling organizations, suicide prevention, and drug abuse helplines, among other things.
Bad Bitches Have Bad Days Too are the lyrics from Megan's song "Anxiety," and a user by the name of Shea Jordan Smith uploaded the information on his social media and noted that for her fans and followers, Megan Thee Stallion has created a website that provides a list of different mental health services. The rapper wrote in a letter on the website that since people are aware of how much she values everyone's mental health, she has put up a center of resources to help anyone who needs it.
A list of therapy organizations, a national crisis text line, a suicide, and crisis lifeline, and a national helpline run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration are among the options available on the website Bad Bitches Have Bad Days Too. What distinguishes the Bad Bitches Have Bad Days Too platform from other mental health platform is the fact that Megan Thee Stallion has included resources directories for programs aiding the black community. The resources included on the website are counseling for black women and men, black mental well-being, an LGBTQ Psychotherapist of Color Directory, etc.
The rapper has a history of advocating for mental health, particularly in light of how beneficial counseling has been for her ever since her parent's deaths. To commemorate her birthday, she declared the launch of the Pete and Thomas Foundation.
According to the website of the non-profit group, its goal is to function as a catalyst resources to affect real and good change in the lives of women and children, senior citizens, and underprivileged communities in Houston, Texas, and across the globe. The charity is named in honor of Holly Thomas and Joseph Pete Jr., Megan Thee Stallion's late parents.
Megan The Stallion in October of last year, talked openly about mental health when she said that after her parents died, she had to get professional help, and therapy was the solution. Megan's father died while she was a small child, and Holly Thomas, Megan's mother, died in March 2019 after a fight with brain cancer. She lost her grandmother not long after her mother died.
Megan noted during her participation in the season two premiere of Taraji P. Henson's Facebook Watch show Peace of Mind with Taraji that after losing both of her parents, all she could think about was who she could talk to, and it was then that she understood it was acceptable to seek for assistance. She went to therapy and indicated that as a black person, the first thing that comes to mind when someone discusses or considers going to therapy is that they are weak; they think of medication and begin to consider the worst-case possibilities.
At the time, the rapper added that it is something that people also occasionally see on television and said that nobody portrayed therapy as a cure or a good thing, but things have changed since then, and it is now generally accepted that people can seek assistance if things get a little out of hand. During the interview, Megan noted that she sometimes drowns herself in her work and business when she is going through a difficult period emotionally and clarified that she also works through her feelings.
The rapper went on to say that she is likely going through something when people start to notice her more frequently or when her schedule fills up because she just wants to keep her mind occupied.
The celebrity also revealed that she listens to her mother's voice, prays "like 80 times a day," and considers what her mother would do in certain circumstances. Megan claimed that whenever she feels depressed, she always imagines: "What would her mother say to her at this moment? Because her mother would be whispering in my ear if she were here: "What do you have to say? She is capable of more than that. Megan claimed that to remain motivated, she must constantly maintain her words in the back of her mind.
While talking about her new album, Traumazine with The Cut, Megan Thee Stallion shared that her record is about the chemicals released by the brain in response to traumatic events. The rapper explained that every individual goes through their trauma in their way and for her Traumazine is like facing things that she has been running from and mentioned that to know that people go through the same things as she is sort of comforting her.
Megan Thee Stallion will be hosting and performing at the Saturday Night Live on 15th October 2022 as the show returns for season 48.
