J Molley, real name Jesse, got candid about his battle with mental health.
The rapper returned after a long-time hiatus on social media in February, saying he was seeking help before his Almost Dead project.
On Tuesday, J Molley shed light on his challenge.
“I suffer from a borderline personality disorder, which is like bipolar but worse; it’s more of a thing, one hour you’re happy, the next hour you’re sad. One moment you love someone, the next moment you hate someone and you want to kill them. We feel things 10 times more than everyone, so everything is so extreme.”
Through the rollercoaster of emotions, he is grateful for the support he received from his fans.
“We feel abandoned, pulsate, we feel empty all the time, we want to kill ourselves all the time. Along with borderline, I have bipolar, so I go through manic phases when I’m happy so everyone thinks everything is cool, then the next thing I’m sad and I’m crushing again. I have OCPD, I have ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), I have anxiety, I have depression.”
Forensic psychologist Micki Pistorius previously told TimesLIVE about the three main disorder clusters:
- odd or eccentric disorders: paranoid, schizoid and schizotypal personality disorders;
- dramatic, emotional or erratic disorders: histrionic, antisocial, borderline and narcissistic personality disorders; and
- anxiety disorders: avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive personality disorders.
