Jim Carrey Offered Some Powerful Wisdom About Depression To Super Fan Ariana Grande After She Opened Up About Her Own Mental Health Struggles
Ariana Grande has always been a big fan of actor and comedian Jim Carrey, and she sang his praises on Instagram Stories over the weekend.
On Saturday, the "7 Rings" singer attributed a quote about depression to the venerated actor on one of her posts.
It read:
"Depression is your body saying, 'I don't want to be this character anymore. I don't want to hold up this avatar that you've created in the world. It's too much for me. You should think of the word 'depressed' as 'deep rest.' Your body needs to be depressed. It needs deep rest from the character that you've been trying to play."
She wrote under the quote, "The whole LOML [love of my life] forever."
"I read your lovely mention of me and things I've said about depression. A brilliant teacher and friend, Jeff Foster was OG on the 'Deep Rest' concept. I admire your openness. I wish you freedom and peace. I feel blessed to have such a gifted admirer. Happy Easter!"

Grande needed a moment after Carrey's heartfelt response.
According to E! News, Grande posted and deleted many posts about her "headspace" on Thursday, several weeks into her Whirlwind tour.
"I don't mind the app. I'm just not in a headspace to handle it like I used to u know, like in general. That's all," wrote Grande in a tweet that was later captured via screenshots. "I'll be back. It's ok! Love y'all. Thinking of you."
The 25-year-old is always open with her fans. One devoted fan wrote, "Music is your therapy and I love seeing it heal you," but Grande responded that that's not always the case.
She wrote back in a deleted tweet:
"Making it is healing. Performing it is like reliving it all over again and it is hell."
Fans reminded Grande of her positive effects on people who admire the person behind the music.
After gathering her thoughts, Grande wrote Carrey back.
"Thank u so much for your kindness. i don't think u understand how much i adore u or what u mean to me. thank u for taking the time to share this w me. you are such an inspiration. i can't wait to tattoo this tweet to my forehead. sending you lots of love & all things happy."
One Arianator remembered Grande's love for Carrey during the early days of online chatting on AIM.
"My first AIM username was jimcarreyfan42 when I was in like 4th grade," she admitted.

Their beautiful exchange delivered all the needed feels.

The mutual support between artists is an example of how we can all be there for each other when we're not feeling our best.
Deep rest is something we may all experience at any given time, but it's nice to know that we all eventually rise.
Miley Cyrus Just Performed An Acoustic Cover Of Ariana Grande's "No Tears Left To Cry" And, Honestly, We're Shook
The lead song of her fourth album, Arianna Grande's "No Tears Left to Cry," was a huge success, topping charts all over the world and making it to number one on the US Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart. But no one has ever heard the hit song performed the way Miley Cyrus belted it out in the BBC Lounge alongside Mark Ronson.
The pair pulled back on the song's electronic elements and performed an acoustic cover showing off Cyrus's amazing voice!

An Apple Music Lyrics Snafu On Ariana Grande's New Song 'Thank U, Next' Left Listeners Very Confused ๐ค
After breaking things off with fiance Pete Davidson earlier this month, Ariana Grande released a new song called "Thank U, Next" in which she thanked all of her ex-boyfriends for everything they'd done for her. Fans loved the track but couldn't help but notice that, in the Apple Music lyrics of the song, Grande seemed to have already moved on to an unknown girl named "Aubrey."
Though the words are a little hard to decipher when listening to the song, Apple Music's lyrics cleared things up...kind of.
Grande fans everywhere went on the Aubrey hunt.

Of course, it wasn't long before the singer stepped in to make a correction. It turns out she had said "Ari" in reference to herself.
Her enunciation was slightly muddled, resulting in the misunderstanding with Apple lyrics.

cause her name is Ari .... n iโm so good w thaaaatโ Ariana Grande (@Ariana Grande) 1541252905.0
Fans began to wonder how long the error would stay live on Apple Music, fooling even more people into believing Grande was in love with someone named Aubrey.

To be fair, there were also some Twitter users who wished there was an Aubrey.

The Aubrey issue was a relatively small one. Fans love "Thank U, Next" for its heartwarming message and open mind.
