LA Times talks with Hayley about mental health during isolation

Hayley Williams is about to release her anticipated debut solo album, Petals for Armor and she was scheduled to be touring Europe and North America this spring and summer, kicking off a new phase of her career. Instead, she’s at home in Nashville, in quarantine, coping with not just the effects of COVID-19 on the launch of her album, but on her well-being as well – says the introduction to the newest article posted by Los Angeles Times.

Williams suffers from depression, PTSD and anxiety. “If I wake up and I don’t put music on, which I didn’t do today, I can feel the emptiness,” she says. “I can feel my thoughts racing, and I’m trying to understand the balance between running from my own thoughts when there’s good stuff to mine from them.”
