When Ed realised it<\/p>\n

Ed Sheeran shared how he felt frustrated about his health when he was in his 20s. He shared, \u201cI would say I lived a pretty unhealthy life from 20 to 30. And even though I was doing professionally well, I wouldn\u2019t say that reflected well into my personal life.\u2018And I do think that wellness is a direct mirror to mental health and the way you feel. I always felt like s*** within myself; I\u2019d wake up and look in the mirror and just feel gross.\u201d <\/p>\n
