## Resource

Lil Nas X drops a raw, heartfelt update on his mental health journey, revealing he’s been in rehab for months to ground himself and heal — working with therapists, spending time with loved ones, and finally facing his bipolar diagnosis head-on. He laughs about how being Black, gay, and now managing bipolar disorder feels like “extreme hard mode,” but says he’s thriving and ready to “smell the roses.” Teasing new music, he thanks fans for seven years of support. Behind the scenes, his legal troubles — including charges from an August incident — led to a mental health diversion program, with the court tying his actions to his condition. If he stays clean for two years, the charges will be dropped — and he’s already moving forward with purpose. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
