Ariana Grande ‘inspired’ by funnyman Jim Carrey’s honesty about depression

Ariana Grande is “inspired” by Jim Carrey.

The ‘god is a woman’ hitmaker has posted a sweet message for the actor and comedian as she thanked him for his “kindness” as the duo discussed depression and how it affects people.

She shared a quote by Jim, which read: “Depression is your body saying, ‘I don’t want to be this character anymore. I don’t want to hold up this avatar that you’ve created in the world. It’s too much for me.’ You should think of the word ‘depressed’ as ‘deep rest’. Your body needs to be depressed. It needs deep rest from the character that you’ve been trying to play.”

And on learning about her post, Jim sent her a message:

According to a previous report by The Sauce, Ariana previously confessed performing her own songs is “hell”, responding to a fan who wrote “Music is your therapy and I love seeing it heal you”, she said in a now-deleted tweet: “Making it is healing. Performing it is like reliving it all over again and it is hell.”
