Jessie J Explained Why She's Struggling To Sing And Says "I Still Cannot Get Through A Full Day Without Pain"

Last year, UK pop singer Jessie J shared with fans that she had been diagnosed with Ménière's disease, writing on Instagram that she felt like "someone crawled" into her ear "and turned a hair dryer on."

Ménière’s disease is a disorder affecting the inner ear, which can lead to severe dizziness, ringing in the ear, and hearing loss, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Diseases.

Now Jessie's shared an update, and I really feel for her.

"Yesterday I tried to sing a song I can usually sing with ease, and I couldn't," she wrote on Instagram. "The issue I’m having isn’t my voice but is affecting my voice."

"And well…I sobbed," Jessie continued. "For hours. I let myself feel the broken part of me that sometimes I know I ignore when I shouldn't. Like fell the floor TV show type shit."

"[Six] months in and I still cannot get through a full day without pain in my mid neck / throat. Some days are so much better than others. Worst part is that it’s not my vocal cords. They are healthy and in there with their hands up like, not us J, we got you. It’s something around them. Spine, thyroid, allergy. Who knows. The tests continue."

"[Ninety-five percent] of the time I am good. Positive and strong. Which is what I portray on here mostly. But that 5% will grow if not acknowledged. So yes, sometimes like yesterday. I break. All hope disappears. I feel so lost and so alone in what's going on."

"I guess I'm sharing this because people are always saying to me, 'How do you stay so positive all the time,' and truth is I don't. I definitely don’t unpack and live in how I felt yesterday. But I don’t take pride in always pretending I'm OK. It’s not healthy."

"That old line 'it's OK not to be OK,' I wrote it because it's true and I still believe this platform is to inspire through truth."

"To anyone else going through a testing time, I feel you. I see you. We will get through this."

Sending so much love to you, Jessie!!
