In October 2023, SZA opened up about seeking support for her mental health. She told the Wall Street Journal that she accidentally saw a life coach thinking they were a therapist and found herself in a mental health crisis.

"After I had box breathed myself for three months and didn’t get better, I called her in a f---ing frenzy like, 'I’m about to commit myself to an institution today, I need help!' I said, 'What form of therapy do you do? DBT?' " SZA told the publication, referencing dialectical behavior therapy.

The singer continued, "She was like, 'I don’t have a clinical form of therapy because I’m not a licensed therapist, honey. I thought you knew that.' It turns out she was not a board-certified therapist. She was a f---ing life coach."

In that same interview, SZA shared that she struggles with anxiety at high-profile events.

"Sometimes when I’m in those situations, it makes me more anxious, because I’m like, 'Damn, they’re about to judge me for being a bitch, or quiet, or looking rude,'" she said. "It’s everything, it’s not you, it’s me, and I’m freaking out, and I don’t know how to be any different right now."

Earlier this year, SZA won a Grammy for best R&B song for her song "Snooze." She expressed feeling shocked during her acceptance speech, saying, "I just.. I'm sorry, I'm just really overwhelmed. You don't really understand. I came really, really far and I can't believe this is happening and it feels very fake."

She later spoke with PEOPLE about her onstage moment and said she was "just very shocked and very confused and just trying to not miss my award."

"I swear it was the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me prior, and I didn't think I'd survived it, but I can't believe I did. And I think that at all is a relief," SZA added.
