Selena Gomez is getting real. The chart topper has opened up about her “scary and lonely” struggle with depression as she is launching a new mental health campaign. Here’s what she has to say.
Selena, who has always been open about the ups and downs of her life, wants her fans to know that mental health matters and that’s why she’s launching Mental Health 101, a new campaign for Rare Impact by Rare Beauty, dedicated to connecting people with the resources they need to get support and educate themselves on mental health.
Selena Gomez Opens Up About Her Scary And Lonely Struggle With Depression
Selena opened up about her campaign on social media and said that the initiative is something that she holds very close to her heart because of how she’s had to deal with her own personal struggles for years.
“I know first hand how scary and lonely it can feel to face anxiety and depression by yourself at a young age,” she wrote. “If I had learned about my mental health earlier on – been taught about my condition in school the way I was taught about other subjects – my journey could have looked very different.”
Selena also sent a message to “anyone who is hurting right now.”
“I hope you know that you are not alone,” she stressed. “I’m a believer in seeking help. Getting support and educating myself on mental health has changed by life, and it can change yours, too.”
Selena said that the first time she felt burnt out and stressed was when she went to rehab in 2014.
“I knew I couldn’t go on unless I learned to listen to my body and mind when I really needed help,” Gomez explained, before revealing that she still dealt with “late-night anxiety.” “I start thinking about my personal life, and I’m like, ‘What am I doing with my life?’ It becomes this spiral.”
