The Edison, New Jersey-born entertainer showed her graтιтude toward her friends, family and fans amid the difficult time, which also included having to evacuate her Los Angeles home earlier this month amid the wildfires. 

‘I’m figuring it out on my own time, thank you to everyone who has been along for the ride, said the singer, whose full name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane. ‘Also I’m cute as f*** now, so that’s great.’

The Bad at Love artist – who is engaged to Canadian actor/singer Avan Jogia, 32 – last summer said that she had been ‘lucky to be alive’ after a series of health woes she kept under wraps to the public.

The Nightmare artist wrote that she had been reticent to emerge publicly with the news of her multiple ailments.

‘I realize everyone is catching up with news I’ve held in for a very long time, and I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to share,’ Halsey said. ‘You’ve all been so kind so I want to share a bit more.’

Halsey said that ‘after a rocky start,’ she ‘slowly got everything under control with the help of amazing doctors.’

Halsey said she was creatively reinvigorated with energy as she sought to get back to the studio and on the stage.

‘After 2 years, I’m feeling better and I’m more grateful than ever to have music to turn to. I can’t wait to get back where I belong: With you all … singing and screaming my heart out.’

In the clip, the musical artist was clad in a black top with white embroidered lace highlights around the neckline and wrists.

Endometriosis, according to the Mayo Clinic, ‘is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus … grows outside your uterus.’

Appearing on the TV show The Doctors in 2018, the Without Me performer opened up about living with the condition.

‘Reproductive illness is so frustrating because it can really make you feel like less of a woman,’ the singer said. ‘There’s a lot of times when you’re sitting at home, and you just feel so terrible about yourself. 

‘You’re sick, you don’t feel Sєxy, you don’t feel proud, you don’t feel like there’s much hope. Hopefully, I can have a bright future and achieve the things that I want to achieve.’

Halsey said on the show that she suffered a miscarriage in the wake of her diagnosis.

‘Before I could even really figure out what that meant to me and what that meant for my future, for my career, for my life for my relationship,’ she said. ‘The next thing I know I was onstage miscarrying in the middle of my concert.’

The Bad at Love artist, speaking with Us Weekly in 2018 credited the people in their circle for helping them on their health journey.

‘I have male managers in my life,’ Halsey said. ‘I’m surrounded by men all the time.

‘There were times when I was bleeding through my clothes or I was sick and it got to the point where I had to look at everyone around me and be like, “You know what? That is something that is a reality for me and you need to suck it up and deal.”‘

She added, ‘I’m not going to let you make me ashamed of this. We’re going to get through this.’
