She has accessible therapy, books & endless help. I’m glad she’s using her wealth to better herself. Not a lot of people have these types of opportunities.
yes thankfully she’s trying to break the stigma around mental health problems and wants all schools to have a class about that
She also has a fund called “Rare Impact Fund” where she raises money for mental health related causes. She wants to bring the access that she has to other people.
@@fernandavolkweis621 I just looked it up. She donates 1% of all sales from her makeup brand Rare beauty to her rare impact fund. The rare impact fund is managed by the Hopewell Fund,this-a fiscally sponsored project is not a charity. they do not file public tax returns… interesting! I found some really interesting things about the hopewell funds… they help all kinds of celebrities & the NFL but no one really knows where the money is going. From the articles I was reading
@@fivepeepeeman1764 definitely, I’m a healthcare worker now & I am all for that. I advocate daily in my job & everyday life for those with mental health issues. Our world would be so different if people took care of their mental health starting at a young age like middle school/HS Gen X grew up with a horrible stigma around mental health. Let’s make the change!
she has earned it all
As someone with ptsd, i'm inspired that celebs like her opens up like this to bring more awareness towards mental health
No one cares
It’s so cool that you have a super common mental Illness and so does Selena Gomez. Does it make you feel like maybe you could be famous like her too?
@Lil Meggy what's real here is no one cares about you 😪😪 i feel sorry for you. get some help
We do! We care. ❤
@@Megan4real921 No one cares about your pathetic life either. When you die most people will not care.
I have ADHD Hyperactive and Bipolar symptoms, it’s kinda struggle to stay alive. I admire her to be brave open up about her mental health
I don't usually care about celebrity stuff, but she is really awesome for this. I have bipolar 1 disorder with psychotic features and it makes daily life really difficult, even in between manic / depressive episodes. I feel that Selena opening up to the world about having bipolar and having to go to the hospital for it makes a very big difference in the public perception of bipolar and mental health hospitalizations. People look up to celebrities and I think that people are more accepting of a celebrity that they like or idolize.
Stuff like this bridges the gap in people's minds between bipolar disorder and themselves. This shows them directly that people with bipolar are not unrelatable monsters that commit crimes and hurt people. The media like to push the narrative that people with certain mental health conditions are like heartless, explosive, aliens. Her doing this is directly reversing that stigma and I respect the hell out of that.
P.S. - I don't know why the director said that she's "broken". I feel like that's not a very nice thing to say about someone even when they say it about themselves. My bipolar does not make me "broken", it's just a part of me that functions a little differently than the average person. I would much rather be me than just an average person with an average life. That doesn't sound broken to me at all...
I have tried one two and have been hospitalized a few times since I was 16. I'm now 31 and working on my self everyday so I don't end up back in the hospital.
It's gotta be so hard being in the spotlight all the time, I've always admired Selina, she is beautiful, talented, strong, & real.
❤
Yeah let's feel pity for Rich actresses who are in the spotlight all the time 🤣
@@Upper-cr1kh you’re so rude and obviously jealous …. It’s actually disgusting
@@Upper-cr1kh you’re not Selena so you don’t know what she’s going through
@@Missmagazinebura I know that poor Rich actress who probably flew home in her private jet after the interview 🤣 she's so courageous I don't know how she does it everyday 😂 you guys are groveling over elitists
As someone who suffers with anxiety and depression I love how open she's always been to her fans about herself and her mental health
I'm bpd, ptsd, severe anxiety, and sometimes mildly paranoid. I love her honesty, and it feels genuine, unlike Demi. please don't come for me, I use to admire Demi a lot, but something doesn't sit right with me about her. Selena is kind, talented, funny, loving, genuine. I adore her courage so much. talking about your mental health struggles is difficult for anyone, I can't imagine how scary it must have been for her to open herself up like this and have people all across the world watching. but I'm glad that she did.
The Key Word here is SELF, that's ALL it matters to Selena Gomez; her SELF.
@@proudgoyim631 Exactly; these "Celebs" are ALL the Same; they use people's misfortunes to Profit from them.
Don't worry just avoid sugar oil Nd salt
A lot of people give in to hiding their illness by using substances. It's admirable and incredibly wholesome that she's using the resources available, not only to help better herself but also so that she can try to make a positive impact on other's lives. These are the celebrities who deserve to be represented as role models to people. They are real people who share their real struggles in life and the importance of taking care of yourself.
The people who glamorize their lives and act like everything is perfect all the time aren't relatable and actually do more harm than good to people who look up to them.
What a strong, brave, beautiful woman. I’ve loved her since I was a little kid and still loves her. She inspires me since I’m too struggling with my mental health
Really?? ha, ha, ha, She's a Good Actress, nothing more, ruclips.net/video/OsWO-gzfV4k/видео.html
@@12567NoYouCannot No, she's nice and cute. You feel so close to her right now; it's a force field! Her love falls down on you, surrounds you like a waterfall!

What is happening here
lmao you don't even know her
This poor girl has been through hell, medically and mentally. She's brave and strong and kind
Selena continually uses her massive platform to do positive things for the world despite going through disastrous and huge challenges along the way. Love you sel❤
Name one. The rich actress is on TV looking for pity because she suffers from bipolar 🤣 while she flies home in her private jet to her mansion

I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar at 15 and I am 38 now. The best thing I ever did for myself was learn about what that meant. The more I learned, the easier it became to live with it. Very happy that Selena is sharing her story. This literally made me cry this morning. SO proud of her! It's a rollercoaster, anyone who suffers from it will know. It's bitter baby and it's very sweet. Holy rollercoaster, but I'm on my feet. ~ Red Hot Chili Peppers | Soul to Squeeze.
😔💜🙏
Sorry but i don't like her, I don't beleive in her word... She is hypocrit. Sorry fans of her but i don't trust her.
I told my psychiatrist, if I could stay in the happy manic times forever, I would have the happiest life, but the drop always comes, and I dread that, because it's hell on Earth trying to get through it.
Yes❤
@Clayton how did you get diagnosed at 15? What were your symptoms? I have a 21 year old who has had 2 mental breakdowns and has autism but not a diagnosis yet
I was diagnosed with Bipolar I in February, along with several anxiety disorders, and PMDD (Severe PMS). Started on Lamotrigine and in just 4 months I got a new job and have been working full-time ever since.
👆🌱🍫 contact on IG with my handle you see
may I ask what is your dosage of lamotrigine please? thank you

Being so open about her disease, Selena helped a lot of people. Especially making them talk about it and not being afraid to share their story
I don’t think disease is a nice term to use…
Having a nervous breakdown mixed with having Lupus, being Bipolar and a heavy dose of Anxiety is no joke. I'm just a no one (without the insane pressures that she's under) and I had a complete breakdown in 2011, between being Bipolar my self and developing an anxiety that basically made me Agoraphobic, it took a long time to get back to some kind of normal. With the family, fans & support Selena has around her, it'll be hard at times but she's a fighter and she'll get better a little bit each day.
If you know someone who is Bipolar, I swear that we're not A-holes, out of no where it just happens, we know it and its a struggle to control it. Same with Anxiety, give that person a hug once in a while, it means a lot even if we don't show it.
Awww. Hugs to you.
The difference is that You are NOT Selling your miseries and Making a Fortune on it.
Can I ask your symptoms of your complete breakdown?
What😮 I’ve loved her for so long and I’m glad she’s talking cuz bipolar is such a hard disease to deal with, I was diagnosed bipolar 1 psychosis and i love her strength
ur not alone same here ❤️
Bipolar isn't a disease, it is a mental disorder.
Bipolar isn't a disease.... It's a mental illness 🙄
What were your symptoms if you don’t mind me asking?
How do you cope with it?
As a person with bipolar disorder I understand what she is going through

It is nice to know that I am not alone in this Mental health Issues.
We all have mental issues because the Human Brain is still being analyzed and studied for comprehension,
Bipolar Disorder is quite common In the human Population.

Anybody else in your family with your mental illness?
@@jamesbedukodjograham5508 i don't think it's common
For somebody as famous as she is I have got to admire her level of honesty and how down to earth she is
Don't forget to buy her latest CD.🤣🤣🤣
this comment aged like milk
100% agree
I’ve never felt one way or another about Selena until I really started paying attention to her messaging around mental health. I’m so impressed with her as a human being. She struggles and she shares it to help us all. She’s a lovely human being.
Thenks Ayela...
💯❤
Selena is a deceiver & a hypocrite. She craves FAME & WEALTH & wants to be in the SPOTLIGHT ALWAYS. Sold her SOUL long time AGO & FOOLED the world for YEARS. She FAKED it TILL SHE MADE IT. TIME THE TRUTH GOT EXPOSED. 99% OF THE CELEBS ARE PART OF THE ILLUMINATI. Act goody infront but behind the scenes dark things going on. SEEING IS BELIEVING, I GOT PROOF & MADE A VIDEO
Selena is a deceiver & a hypocrite. She craves FAME & WEALTH & wants to be in the SPOTLIGHT ALWAYS. Sold her SOUL long time AGO & FOOLED the world for YEARS. TIME THE TRUTH GOT EXPOSED. Profile pic is number 666 (AntiChrist) same Illuminati symbolism that Lady Gaga, Justin, Dua Lipa & so on used.
Selena Gomez admitted to having a "pizza" party on Ellen with Jennifer Anniston & we all know why they always talk about pizza parties. SELENA & 99% OF THE OTHER CELEBS ARE PART OF THE ILLUMINATI 🔺
Pizza is CODE in Hollyweird. Even Obama/Hilary Clinton also used that term aka Pizzagate which means adrenochrome which means they torture/kill children to harvest the chemical adrenochrome from their blood.
Illuminati/elite runs the show. Universal, Feds, Prison systems, NBA, NFL. Kpop, Disney & Hollywood 🔺
Entertainment industry heavily controlled by SATAN (LUCIFER)
Companies work for the ELITES. WAKE UP CALL & PEOPLE NEED TO OPEN THEIR EYES.
Describes what my view on her was/is exactly
Selena Gomez has always been a really good person. Fame didn't go to her head. She was always easy to work with on the set. Many childhood artists burn out and give up. Selena made a conscious choice to not give up. She refuses to let her past define her future. We stay healthy by helping others with same problems. Selena is amazing.
She’s probably one of the most honest real celebrities we have left in the industry. WE LOVE YOU SELENA 🖤😘
Shame on you people who made fun of her after that performance! We need to be kind and understand that there's a story behind everyone! You don't know someone else's pain! Much love to Selena and all the people out there struggling! Stay strong!💖
If only shame was enough for people to engage enough to learn.
Which performance exactly?
@@causingsquid4324 the AMA performance of Lose You to Love Me
Selena isn't even bipolar neither is demi Lovato and neither are half the people commenting everyone who has a mental illness now days it automatically diagnosed as bipolar which is insane
So let me guess everyone commenting under this video which is probably 200+ users is bipolar right? Absolutely ridiculous half of you aren't bipolar I don't care if you've been to the psychiatrist or not anyone now days who is depressed, unstable or over emotional is automatically diagnosed as bipolar which is insane I wish doctors would quit telling people they have an uncurable illness without looking into the fact that another illness is to cause I've met several people who were diagnosed bipolar who actually didn't have the condition it was something else you people need to do your research before you start rambling on youtube about a serious lifelong illness that you think you have just because a doctor told you
Sadly a lot of people aren’t fortunate to have aid, rehab, or treatment because of the high cost, but I admire her for talking about these types of illnesses.
She is just lovely . So real and honest . Fragile but brave . We need more people like her in hollywood.
Been diagnosed with bipolar for years. It's so scary how erratic it can get, and I am thankful for Selena for showing us a part of herself. I used to watch her continuously as a child in Wizards of Waverly Place, and it's good not to feel so alone.
Stop oil salt sugar salt ❤
im proud of selena. i've telling myself that if she can do it, so am i. love you selena

I love that she is brave enough to be this vulnerable & transparent. It will help many.
I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Then PTSD it’s taken me years to accept my diagnosis, I learn to cope with them on a daily basis, sometimes it gets weary but you are a great example of triumph!!!! WE LOVE YOU SELENA!!!!!!
Hey I recommend really learning about mental health like do a bunch of research on your own don’t just accept your diagnosis get a second third fourth opinion.. there a lot a below par therapists/psychologists who are arrogant/ignorant! I am sayin this because you got diagnosed with bi polar and schizophrenia which I don’t think is a thing. There’s something called Schizoaffective disorder which is basically bipolar plus schizophrenia. And also look into ctpsd because it’s lot more common then ptsd and a bit different. Hope this helps! Those disorders are no joke!! It’s life threatening and causes an extreme amount of distress for the individual! And of course can effect others around them but mainly the individual!! Try and Stay well! get an accurate diagnosis and find the meds that work best for u and remember you know yourself better than anyone!! Hope this helps u:)
Selena has always been a huge inspiration to me for many years. From her songs to her emotions and feelings, heartbreak. Thank you for sharing and being extremely Brave ❤ your fans appreciate you more than you could ever know
I’m 46 I was diagnosed at 23. This girl is helping me. I really truly admire her and I’m a fan of her music. She’s doing so much for mental health I think she’s amazing. I was never given any tools just a therapist and a psychiatrist. My story isn’t the typical story. But I just love this girl so much.
Selena just called and said to step in front of a moving bus.🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm crying because I grew up with her and have always admired her. I also struggle with autoimmune diseases and mental health so I really look up to her. 💞
Hi Dani, hope you do not mind I reach out to you. Just wanted to know are you fully recover now?
Selena is so brave, she didn’t go to drugs or addiction to run away from her issues she faced them with strength even though it was so hard, but she did it and she’s trying to help others now, i love you selena and i hope ull read my comment tomorrow will always be better ❤
i'm so glad, despite the fame, she could use her position to speak, and reveal her real struggles, so anyone can feel that they are not alone
Not too many struggles when you started on Barney .
What she can do is now use her voice to not spread struggle but spread what it mean the walk the line between negative and positive . And help economic cause .
Bi polar is not a struggle it is a gift if you can truly hear what you bead to head . And not what the negative and positive sides are influencing
@@westdivision9396 bipolar isn’t a gift is a challenge tho
And......Make MONEY on the "Poor Me" Advertising Agenda.
I always found her to be classically beautiful and genuine. You can see that radiate in her interviews. I cheer her on. Go Selena!
I love how the message of the song " My mind & me" is that you can love what you do and who you are, but that does not mean that you cannot struggle with your mental heath. It is incredible how aware Selena is about the importance of this issue and how committed she is to work on this matter. She is a queen.
I was at the same mental health treatment center as Selena. She is a strong and wonderful person. I applaud her for sharing her story and hopefully it will help others. XO
As a 31 year old with Lupus and Cyclothymia (bipolar 3), that documentary hit so close to home, I cried. I felt her pain deeply. That's why I write, I want to help spread the awareness to others through my books.
These are the kind of interviews she loves doing - not the ones that felt rushed or never acknowledged her and what she would like to do and why. You guys did a great job! AND ALSO KELLY CLARKSON
I had a kidney transplant like her and to be honest, it’s hard to find that special someone because most, don’t take the time to understand your situation and sometimes there are cases where you are unable to have children. It’s a difficult situation but you can still make it and be happy❤️

Thank u for speaking up cause only people with bipolar understand each other 🥲
I appreciate her for sharing her story. Praying she continues to prosper through it all. Her optimism is truly an inspiration
Damn I just have always loved Selena so much. Everything she does, she does it so much less annoying than so many other people in the spotlight. I wish she knew how loved she is and how she's got everyone's attention for how unique and awesome she has always been.
I like how she’s one of those celebs that try to help others. Which really shows that she actually has a heart rather than being fake for a check. Great woman!
I go through the same thing and I just want to say that it’s not our fault and we don’t have to hide our difficulties or blame ourselves.
I'm tearful I love you my lady
You're the one who got me strength and confidence ❤️
It's hard dealing with mental and physical ailments when it's so interlinked. More so, when everything you do is in the public's eye. I am happy Selena came back from it and is stronger for it. Prayers and love to you!
not all famous celebrities have this courage to opened up their struggles in public admired you Selena for using your platform mostly on health issues and mental health awareness love you always avid fan from Philippines ❤🙏😇
She's an amazing voice for so many.. Thank you darlin 4 going all the extra miles for mental health stories..
I love her & think she's a remarkable example of humanity & strength to overcome challenges that defeat most people, She's a good soul with so much kindness & compassion !!
It takes a lot of courage to open up about everything she is going through , and share vulnerable moments
I have always admired you Selena and loved your music.
You are literally so strong ❤
She is just so likeable
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2014. There are many steps to take to learn how to live with it. Everyone finds their own way. Once you do, there's no more shame. You don't worry as much about your state of mind. I'm glad Selena is sharing her experience people will see themselves through her and not feel alone in the world. Thank you! 🙏🌸🥰
To be so vulnerable and share your struggles so that you can help others is such a brave thing to do. This is why I love Selena ❤❤
So brave, so gutsy, so human❤
I know this sounds ridiculous, but I went to the same rehab as her and she checked in about a week after I checked out. I really hope she got as much out from it as I did as it was an incredible transformative place. I still struggle because of course the struggle never goes away but she’s so brave to talk about it. That’s the hardest and best thing you could do is talk about it.
Bipolar Disorder totally sucks. You never know when you’re going to crash. When you’re manic it’s like being high for months but you don’t know it. And it wrecks your life by not being connected to reality.
I relate to her so much I hope she knows so many people relate to her and everything she’s been through I hope she finds peace and happiness again she’s amazing

WOW! She's been through so much in her 30 years.
Happy to see Selena alive, growing into herself, sharing and helping others.
At age 34 in 2009 I went through a breakdown. I would wake up at 6am to get ready for work, sit in the lounge with a coffee and start crying. After 2weeks of this happening, I asked myself what is happening.
I lost all conference in myself and couldn't cope with life. I did something stupid and was admitted to a hospital for 2weeks. Hospital was ok as everyone couldn't lie about why they were there. I feel going through that has changed me for the better. Ive become more self aware and more engaged in life,even though i still have my ups and downs still causing me to become unemployed sometimes.
Life is a roller coaster.
I have BP 1. I completely understand.
Im so proud of you girl i have been diagnosed with anxiety depression and ptsd since i was 15 im in my 30s now... mental health needs to be talked about
You go Selena ! you keep it strong. And keep putting it out there for yourself and others. You're a beautiful woman. But more important you have a beautiful heart ♥️
She inspires me to keep going no matter how many fragile instances I experience 💗. It must be so difficult to be bombarded by paparazzi all the time while battling daily against self-doubt 😔.
Selena a real one ...industry does not deserver her
Fascinating content.
Greatly appreciate her for being vulnerable and sharing very real health issues. So many people will no longer feel alone.
I will forever see her as a human who just wants to breathe. I hope that happiness, and freedom follows all the years that come in her life. Peace is all I pray over her.❤️
She’s such a beautiful and talented person. I appreciate her using her platform to bring awareness to this. Wishing her a happy and healthy future 💕.
After connecting with a few of her songs, I started following her on Instagram. I’ve watched many of her live streams she’s legit, totally authentic, big heart, very caring, kind. She keeps it real when talking about hard stuff like mental health and substance use or relationships etc. That made me like her even more.
She's a legend. She's everything. I love her so much.
She is opening the doors in so many ways in the mental health community I have bipolar 1 and its a struggle y'all it truly is its a consistent battle in my head but if anyone is struggling just know you're not alone we all need to be in this together. XOXO ❤
Do you take any medicine for bipolar disorder? My husband is bipolar and it’s has caused a lot of problems.
@@atunstall30medication required when they are in tough time I am also diagnosed bipolar 2 but unfortunately I don’t take meds but during tough time its very hard to deal with it
SO proud òf you!!!! You are SUPER brave!! Thank you SO much for taking the courage to be vulnerable and by sharing and being an amazing example to SO many people ❤ Bless you deeply
Selena you are courageous and brave. I can relate, my wife has lupus. My mother, aunt, and grandmother had bipolar disorder. You have such a great opportunity to teach others about these diseases and in doing so make their lives, and yours, better every day. Sincere thanks
I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 over 20 years ago, but just started taking care of myself 5 years ago. I'm always inspired when I see public figures be open about their diagnosis. Sadly, there's still a lot of stigma around mental illness and the best way to combat that is to openly share your lived experience.
For others who were recently diagnosed and looking for support, NAMI and Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance are great resources. Lots of educational material and support groups.
So brave of Selena to share this. I didn't know much about her but what I have been seeing lately and the Show with Steve Martin made me really like and respect her.Wish her all the best!
Thank you to Selena for being an advocate and educating people. Fortunately many people that have bipolar are creative and are aware that they need to spread this message.
She still seems so kind even with all the fame and money. I think she really knows how to be a person- all the pain and failures really humble us
I love this! Thank you for being brave enough to share your story Selena! ❤
Such a strong young woman !! She's been through so much and continues to deal with serious issues, but with strength and grace !! Yay !!
And money YAy zzz
Being a popstar seems to be a common symptom of bipolar disorder.
"What if it happens again," I can relate with that statement.
I dont like when ppl who got a diagnosis for mental illness in a moment of their life think of themselves as broken or say “I’m broken right now, but one day I’ll be whole”
I myself am guilty of this, but as I get older and I’ve lived with my depression and PTSD longer I realize I was never broken, things out of my control happened to me, people treated me in ways they shouldn’t have and my mind did the best it could with the few tools I was given to cope
The aftermath is the physical stuff like the depression or anxiety
But the amazing thing about human beings is we can go through the worst things and witness terrible things but we don’t give up
We may stumble but we keep trying…that isn’t being broken it’s unbelievable strength
Idk who needs to hear this…but I promise it gets better, in the end you always have to be your own best friend, be kind to yourself and never give up on yourself
I love this...
This make me cry😢. I'm not really following celebrity news so I did not know that she's been through a lot. She's so brave and I'm proud of her.
This is very important to destigmatize mental health issues and demonstrate that mental health problems can happen to anyone in any social ladder. Selena is a beautiful and talented person and the way she exposes her vulnerabilities is another reason to admire her.
I think that Selena is quite strong to deal with this disorder that I have too. It's so hard to have it but I'm also glad she's found herself the powerful resources she's needed to survive with it.
She looks exactly like her mom. Both beautiful women💕
Okay, fine. I have bipolar too. And I know that I can live fully happy life. And got remission. But she doesnt say ANYTHING about the meds. And its really important part, the treatment. We dont cure from bipolar. It always stick around. And therapy is really really important because it gives us knowledge about illness and how to cope with it. But its not depression. so its not just therapy, its the meds too. One day we may dont need them if we got remission, but its a long long journey to get there. And in every moment we can got episode. And then,.again, we need meds. I do yoga, i meditate. And i work with people with diagnosis from 9 years. And I think the psychoeducation and changes in the way we live is the most important, right after meds. I live with it from 12 years. And, now I know, that people with bipolar got a little different structure of brain, in some parts. So, what I wanted to say - do not be afraid to go psychiatrist and do not be afraid of meds. You will be, finally yourself. In "between"
I agree with you! I have Bipolar 2, and I was diagnosed at 18. It took me 10 years to finally get treatment. For 10 years, I refused to take any medication, but medication saved my life especially Lamotrigine. Last year was the worse major depressive episode that I’ve experienced and psychosis made it worse. Right now, I feel great. I exercise, eat healthy, and I have a lot of other outlets to help me. I wish her program would help educate people on the importance of medication and seeing a psychiatrist.
@@3amDayDreamer I have a friend who doesn’t always take meds
why aren't you people reading about fecal transplants!
@Magdalena, just because this clip doesn’t show her talking about meds, doesn’t mean she doesn’t ever. Search for other clips, like the one from People Magazine about Selena and Bipolar meds posted yesterday
Why did you assume that she doesn't talk about meds obviously you have to watch the whole documentary to know. Seriously my grandma doesn't take meds either so its not the same for all so please enlist your experience without bringing others down.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 recently been told i may have bipolar 1 so thank goodness for her help and all of her honesty shown raw. 😢 i relate and im hoping to get back up no matter gow many hits the world throws
You're Texan too. Damn, we got all the women. Must be something in our water. Thank you for opening up about bipolar. Your voice does save lives. That's really powerful and I appreciate your position. I'm so proud of you. You're such an amazing person. People knowing your story makes them feel less alone. This interview holds weight and I am happy I saw it.
I' ve never been her fan but the way she has faced life after all she has been through makes me have respect for her (someone who i don't know of btw) I can't deny she is a resilient woman. Hope God helps her always she needs it and she seeks him to cope life. God bless her.🙏🏼
I can really relate to Selena (other than having fame and fortune...or even a job frankly). It's very tough to have both numerous physical health issues and numerous mental health issues and disorders/conditions.
I have a looooong list of things wrong with me and it's so hard for people to understand because it feels like you're the only one out there who has all these issues instead of one or two.
Thank you so much Selene for sharing this. Forever greatful ❤
I am so proud of her courage to share with others bi-polar that is so difficult to cope with!
Selena you’re so brave. There’s so many of us going through mental health issues and when you speak up about yours, it really helps us to realize we’re not alone

Celebrities pening up about these things in public Infront of the whole world are truly so brave, it means so much to so many people, even though there is always people who mis-believe and unreasonably harshly judge them, they share their truth with us and that is empowering to so many of us, i have had my own mental health struggled and diagnosis and i have only ever opened up about them to my closest friend and even then it did not feel easy, to be vulnerable like this is really brave, i am really proud of Selena and of all my fellow human beings who are struggling with mental and physical health issues, you are all doing amazing and i am happy we are able to have more transparent conversations about these topics ❤️
She’s such a sweet girl. Very genuine.
I wish she could talk to me Selena music is so heart felt and takes me places i wonder she's been one of my favorite singers life story is also acway to reach out to people and fans
I have bipolar disorder too. There are times you will feel broken. If you hang on long enough and work towards recovery you'll feel whole again.
I am sorry to be intrusive, but can you tell me what it is. There is information on the internet, but I don't really understand that. Not to say I would be able to grasp it by a single comment anyway, but I am curious to know what it is and what it is like.
I love her ... she is real and true to herself, honest and brave
Adore her. I’m almost ten years older than her but have thought she was a doll since she was on wizards. She’s adorable and so grounded. Seems like such a good person.
She is just the best! Beautiful talent
Such an amazing young woman ! She is true inspiration 🙏
