Selena Gomez explains the heartbreaking reason why she doesn't sleep in her own bedroom
Los Angeles, California - Pop icon Selena Gomez opened up about her personal journey with mental health at Wondermind's inaugural Mental Fitness Summit on World Mental Health Day.
Selena is once again breaking down barriers in mental health awareness!
The Only Murders in the Building actor revealed at the virtual summit – which she co-founded – that she doesn't feel comfortable sleeping in her bedroom anymore.
"I spent too much time in my bedroom that I actually don't even sleep in my bedroom anymore," the 32-year-old singer admitted, "because I associate it with such a really dark time."
Selena also discussed the challenges she faces with anxiety, admitting that it can be "so debilitating sometimes."
The former Disney Channel star, who has previously spoken about her intense battles with depression and bipolar disorder, shared how important it is to seek help and support.
She shared that she finds it helpful to talk about her issues with close friends, her therapist, and her mother Mandy Teefey.
Selena Gomez still has days where she needs her "mommy"
"I still have days where I need my mom, like, my mommy," the Calm Down artist admitted.
She also discussed how freeing it has felt to open up about her mental health journey so far.
"I tend to isolate," she explained.
Selena continued, "I didn't accept help, I just wouldn't. And I found complete freedom in sharing everything I've been walking through because I know that other people feel that way too."
Selena has done a lot to end the stigma surrounding mental health, but the star still feels like more education on the subject is needed.
