Singer, Selena Gomez Makes Sh0cking Revelation About Her Struggle With Bipolar Disorder

American singer, Selena  Gomez has disclosed that she had suicidal thoughts and checked into 4 different treatment centers during her struggle with bipolar disorder.

She made this shocking revelation during an interview with Rolling Stone, she said; “I think when I started hitting my early twenties is when it started to get really dark, when I started to feel like I was not in control of what I was feeling, whether that was really great or really bad.”

Selena also recounts having extreme highs and lows for weeks or months, before understanding her bipolar diagnosis.
She explained that at times she would have symptoms of mania, like feeling the need to buy everyone in her life a car so she could share her “gift“, but then she’d fall into a deep state of depression and not be able to get out of bed.

And in her darkest moments, she said, “I thought the world would be better if I wasn’t there.”
After a 2018 episode, she says she ended up on a ton of meds, which helped her psychosis, but made her feel unlike herself.

She also struggled to vocalize her issues with friends who weren’t famous, and admitted to feeling like an outsider amongst the cool celebrities.

“I never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities. My only friend in the industry really is Taylor [Swift], so I remember feeling like I didn’t belong. I felt the presence of everyone around me living full lives. I had this position, and I was really happy, but … was I? Do these materialistic things make me happy?” she said.

“I just didn’t like who I was, because I didn’t know who I was.”

Selena started hearing voices in 2018, which eventually led to an episode of psychosis that landed her in a treatment facility.

The singer remembers little of this period of time, yet knows she spent her time in the treatment facility experiencing extreme paranoia for several months. She was eventually diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and was taking numerous medications prescribed by doctors hoping anything would work.

“It was just that I was gone,” she said of the effect the medications had on her. “There was no part of me that was there anymore.”

Eventually she left the facility and started working with a psychiatrist who removed her off all but two of her medications.

“He really guided me,” Selena said. “I had to detox, essentially, from the medications I was on. I had to learn how to remember certain words. I would forget where I was when we were talking. It took a lot of hard work for me to (a) accept that I was bipolar, but (b) learn how to deal with it because it wasn’t going to go away.”
