“At one point Instagram became my whole world' - SelenaGomez
“I became aware that my little world is complicated, but the picture is much bigger than the stuff I deal with. I have problems with depression and anxiety, and I found it difficult for me to be me,” she told the publication. “I didn’t want to post anything on social media because I realized that I was in a situation where I was extremely blessed. What could I possibly post or say? Then I had the idea of inviting multiple people to be on my Instagram to tell their stories.
Before the 29-year-old began using Instagram in a more constructive way, she admitted that she had an unhealthy relationship with the app and other forms of social media. Gomez recalled it taking a toll on her mental health, and later stepped back as a result. “At one point Instagram became my whole world, and it was really dangerous. In my early 20s, I felt like I wasn’t pretty enough. There was a whole period in my life when I thought I needed makeup and never wanted to be seen without it,” the “Lose You to Love Me” singer explained. “The older I got, the more I evolved and realized that I needed to take control of what I was feeling. I wanted to be able to look in the mirror and feel confident to be who I am.
