Zayn Malik has been using songwriting as a useful therapy as he thinks this is the best way to help him deal with the severe anxiety issues that have been striking his life for couple of months.
The
pop star this year in June came among the public when he announced he
was cancelling one of his big concerts in London. He told them how he
had been through his personal struggle with mental disorder. The
aforementioned gig was his first show as a solo artist in the United
Kingdom, and he at the eleventh hour revealed he was dealing with the
worst anxiety of his life especially in his career.
Zayn
later called off another show scheduled in Dubai where he was stated
to perform as solo in October, 2016. But his continuous battle with
mental health issues prevented him from participating in the concert.
The
former “One Direction” member has opened up the ways he is trying
his best to deal with the issue. He revealed writing has appeared
something like a “wonder” to him whether he does songwriting or
writes a diary. He says he feels writing anything down is like a part
of his anxiety therapy. And according to the singer, it alleviates
the mind and gets it out there.
Zayn
was the first member to leave the famous boy band "One
Direction" in 2015. He now admits it really helped him when he
revisited and reevaluated his past for his autobiography which is
recently released. He said doing so also helped him put lots of
things in a perspective.
The
pop star says it worked as a little bit of therapy for him but he
really kind of enjoyed it; and he thinks it was quite fun when he
recalls on things or thinks about what good he had and what bad he
went through. He says it’s funny to make sense of it all as he did
not have time to do that while he was in One Direction.
The
singer is in Los Angeles these days as he wants to focus on his solo
career. He feels he is currently not as stressed as he felt when he
was in the band. He says he is enjoying what he is doing at the
moment. When he was still a part of the ban, there came some moments
when he wanted to go and see his family or needed time to recollect
his thoughts.
However,
he now feels like he has the time for processing things, and he does
things in his own space. And for that reason, Los Angeles is a good
place to live in. But he also believes he can always be relying on
his family and friends living in Bradford for keeping himself
grounded. He says people of his hometown are easily and always ready
to pull him down to earth whenever he gets a little bit headed. He is
grateful for that as one of those things that he likes to hold in his
personality is the reality that he is quite grounded. Moreover, he
feels himself growing daily as a human as everyone does.
