"Good morning. I've just opened my eyes. I've just realised everything I've posted since surgery, which makes sense, is old and nothing's real-time," she explained.

She said she "isn't doing it consciously, I just haven't been actively making content" as added she's "just been trying to rest".

"But I thought it'd be important to... I think people think I'm like hanging on by a thread, which in some moments has felt that way. Two or three days ago, when I woke up, I couldn't breathe," she continued.

"I still have pain in my chest when I breathe, but it's not as bad."

She explained she still has some more symptoms, but she has an infection and shared that she's hoping it's just viral.

"Also, I'm fully aware that these videos of me looking ill, which is just me, this is just my normal face, this is what I look like, this isn't ill. This is just my face," she shared in another video.

Jessie J then poked fun at media outlets screenshotting photos of her face in odd poses, which make her look sicker than she is.

"But yeah, I am feeling a lot stronger. I just wanted to share, to remember for myself and for anyone else who needs reminding that's going through something," she added.

"So I guess my point is, I've been thinking about this for this last hour, is that I am resting. People keep telling me 'sit down, do less' and I'm like, well, I am. This is resting for me."
