On October 10, during an appearance at Wondermind's Mental Fitness Summit for World Mental Health Day, the Wizards of Waverly Place actress admitted she associates certain places with difficult memories.
"I actually don’t even sleep in my bedroom anymore, because I associate it with such a really dark time," she shared. "I am a very anxious person. It’s kind of like doomsday, and I think having a positive conversation with yourself, even if that sounds weird, it’s really impactful."
'I have SIBO in my small intestine. It flares up,' Selena Gomez shared after people made cruel comments about her weight.
Gomez noted how being a public figure has heightened her stress, however, she has learned to manage and appreciate the privilege she has despite some of its downfalls.
"Like before I step out of the car, and there’s going to be lots of noises and stuff — if that’s the case, I’m not saying that’s every day — but I have to breathe, and I have to say, ‘All of this is a gift, and I may not be in the mood for this, [but] every time I see someone and end up making them smile, [it] always just makes my day no matter how I’m feeling,'” she explained.
Selena Gomez has been publicly dating Benny Blanco since December 2023.
Gomez confessed that her friends and family have helped her get through the tough times.
"I don’t have a lot of people in my life, I know who my inner circle is,” she stated. "I have to talk things out. And I have a therapist too, but it’s also nice to have people around you who will just listen to you. There is a freedom in letting go of whatever it is that’s keeping you stuck and that lump in your throat."
