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."

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.

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.
