Following the release of the end, she was overwhelmed with support from fans, writing on Instagram: "Thank you guys for the unbelievable amount of love for “The End” and the support you’ve shown me since its release. 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. You’ve all been so kind

Now, since the release of "Lucky", Halsey is dealing with the reactions to the song and admits via her personal Tumblr account that she isn't very happy with the response, and has regrets about returning to music.

"My own fans are hands down meaner to me than any other people on the planet," she wrote, noting that there used to be a small percentage of "fans" who would engage in negativity, but now it feels like a majority are changing their tune. "It’s hard to want to engage in a space that is completely devoid of any kindness, sympathy, patience; or to be honest human decency," she continued.

"Especially after years of hiding from the interactions for fear that this EXACT thing would happen. I don’t know man. I almost lost my life. I am not gonna do anything that doesn’t make me happy anymore. I can’t spiritually afford it. When I got sick all I could think about was getting better so I could come back and be a part of THIS again, but I don’t even know what *this* is anymore and I want to crawl in a hole and I regret coming back."
