In 'Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me,' the 'Rare' singer opens up about her mental health journey, including her bipolar diagnosis. Scroll down for 10 emotional revelations.
"Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me" begins back in 2016, with a frustrated Gomez prepping the stage show for her tour in support of her second studio album.
"At one point she's like, 'I don't want to be alive right now, I don't want to live,'" Gomez's former assistant Theresa Marie Mingus recalled."And I'm like, 'Wait, what?' It's one of those moments where you look in her eyes and there's nothing there. It was just pitch-black and it's so scary." Their relationship strained at the moment, she continued,"You hang on as tight as you can and try to help them with their treatment and that's the hardest thing to do, to just go to bed and hope that they wake up the next day. It's a miracle she got out but there's always that fear that it's going to happen again."Prior to receiving her bipolar diagnosis, Gomez recalled being"so mean" to the people close to her, especially her mother and stepdad, Brian Teefey.
Gomez shares that she has been having"bad dreams" about her past and mistakes she feels she's made."It's what drives me into depression," she explained."I just wanted to quit sometimes so I could just be happy and be normal like everybody else." After years of being asked about her relationship with Bieber because"everything was so public," Gomez, who never acknowledges the"Sorry" singer by name, admits,"I felt haunted by a past relationship that no one wanted to let go of. But then I just moved past it. I wasn't afraid anymore.""I feel like I had to go through the worst possible heartbreak ever and then just forgetting everything at the drop of a hand, it was really confusing," Gomez says.
After her time in Kenya, Gomez travels directly to London and Paris to promote her music, but she struggles to adjust to her life as a celebrity."It just seems like such a waste of time," she said."What am I doing right now?"
