“When I got sick all I could think about was getting better so I could come back and be a part of THIS again, but I don’t even know what this is anymore and I want to crawl in a hole and I regret coming back.”
Earlier in the post, Halsey, 29, said they felt their own fans are “meaner” to them “than any other people on the planet.”
“It used to be just a minority that were awful to me and now it seems like a majority have only stuck around to chime in occasionally with their opinion of how much they hate me or how awful I am,” they added.
“When I got sick all I could think about was getting better so I could come back … but I don’t even know what this is anymore … and I regret coming back,” Halsey, seen posing in a July Instagram post above, penned.

The “Closer” hitmaker recently returned to music with the release of their singles “The End” and “Lucky,” the latter of which samples Britney Spears’ 2000 hit of the same name.
In it, they describe what they went through while managing their illnesses.
“I shaved my head four times because I wanted to / And then I did it one more time ’cause I got sick,” they recall.
“The End” also details their health struggles over the years with lyrics reading, “Every couple of years now, a doctor says I’m sick / Pulls out a brand-new bag of tricks and then they lay it on me / And at first, it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain.”
