selena's conversations with theresa and raquelle are so scary. she was in such a dark place. it's bizzare, all that a person can go through and yet have to keep up an act in the public of being alright. #MyMindAndMe pic.twitter.com/F8kOdtzNi8

We applaud celebrities using their social clout and personal journey with mental health in an educational way. She suffered psychosis after canceling her tour and dealing with complications linked to Lupus, a disease she has also been struggling with since 2016. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

.@SelenaGomez plans to disappear after she’s done promoting #MyMindAndMe:

“This is probably the most you’ll hear about me for a while. I want this to come out, but I also want this behind me. Every now and then it’s important to just disappear.”

So was I. It is hard to find people who are able to show what exactly happened in the moments during and after psychosis. I’ve never really found the words myself.

to rediscover yourself after being through all that she did, is hard and to admit it all is even harder. thank you selana for being vulnerable and letting us see your story, many of us are able to not only relate but feeling encouraged to speak up about ourselves. #MyMindandMe pic.twitter.com/ctTw98FWLA

I do feel seen by her confession of wanting to not be afraid of the diagnosis, so we educated ourselves.

She perfectly captures the days after psychosis. I've never found the words, but the director Alex used cinematography to get it. Wow wow wow. I feel seen. I knew I wasn't alone. Thank you @selenagomez #MyMindAndMe

Follow her journey as she navigates being a recession millennial and creative entrepreneur.

Bipolar disorder affects around 3.1 million Americans and is defined as a serious mental illness characterized by extreme mood swings. They can include extreme excitement episodes or extreme depressive feelings. My husband and family were there for me as well. It was one of the scariest moments of my life and it keeps me always seeking more people who are able to share the truth about what happened. Selena told the truth.
