Academy award-winning artist, Billie Eilish, recently opened up more about her relationship with her body, especially after the traumatic injury that ended her dancing career. The highly successful singer was once a dance student in California, where her music career eventually took off. Unfortunately, a growth plate injury at the age of 13 forced her to stop dancing, which was very traumatic for Eilish.
According to his mother, the singer was eventually diagnosed with hypermobility, which made him resistant to treatment. Eilish stated that she feels that her body has been “turning on” her for years, and that it has recently improved. She has previously spoken about her body image struggles, revealing that she used to starve herself and used to take diet pills to stop her from gaining weight.

In a recent interview with Vogue magazine, Eilish talks about a childhood injury that affected her relationship with her body. He shared that it took him years to mend the relationship and get rid of the feelings of “anger and betrayal.” Before he became famous as a sensational singer, he was a dance student studying at Revolution Dance in California.
It was during this time that he decided to get into music after his instructor encouraged him to record the hit song “Ocean Eyes” as an original song for a performance. Unfortunately, shortly after Eilish turned 13, she suffered a growing hip injury that forced her to forget her dancing ambitions.
The singer said to Vogue, “Going through my self-loathing teenage years and all that stupid stuff. A lot of it came from my anger at my body, and how angry I was at how much pain it caused me, and how much I had lost because of what happened to it.”

Eilish went on to reveal that she had more injuries to her lower legs and had been misdiagnosed several times. Fortunately, after a series of tests by specialists, he was officially diagnosed with hypermobility, which sometimes causes the body to become so flexible that it causes pain.
Hypermobility is a genetic condition that makes the “Bad Guy” singer resistant to most treatments, especially “chiropractors or certain types of massages,” according to Eilish’s mother, Maggie Baird, who also sat with Vogue.
Eilish also said, “I think my body has turned me on for years. I had to go through the process of being like, ‘My body is really me.’ And it’s not to get me. Once I realized that we were in this together, my life got better, you know?

I’m really, really happy, especially, that I’m at this place in my life, because if that happened three years ago, when I was in the middle of my horrible body relationship – or dancing a ton, five years ago, I didn’t really eat. I was, like, starving myself.”
Eilish also recalled that she once took pills that she believed would help her lose weight, but they only made her “wet the bed.” He said this incident happened as early as the age of 12, which greatly affected his life and body image.
