The 27-year-old has spoken openly about his struggles with anxiety and was forced to cancel tour dates earlier this year in order to focus on his mental health.
He also revealed in an interview with Jameela Jamil that he identifies as non-binary, considering himself to be neither a man or a woman.
Smith today took to Twitter to share a message with his fans, starting with a simple inspirational quote.
Just wanted to share a little thought with you all. Sitting here on my first holiday in a long long time. Looking back on a year and a half of therapy and what has been probably the most challenging time of my short 27 years here.. pic.twitter.com/5AIMxNi4n6

“I’ve watched and read so much over the last six months to try and make sense of all the mess in my head,” he added.
“Tried to find ways to organise all of my problems so that they are bound and organised into folders and boxes, so that they will never haunt me or effect [sic] me again.”

“That mess in your mind is not a mess. It is who you are,” he said.
Smith added that he finds the words of strangers “comforting” and suggested he would seek to offer that same comfort to his followers.
The singer is set to release his third studio album later this year, having already released the first two singles, including top ten hit How Do You Sleep.
