Selena Gomez ADMITS Why She No Longer Sleeps in Her Bedroom | E! News

Selena Gomez gets candid about her mental health. The Only Murders in the Building star reveals why she no longer feels comfortable sleeping in her bedroom, sharing insight into how her mental health struggles have impacted her relationship with her home, saying at Wondermind's inaugural virtual mental fitness summit on World Mental Health Day October 10th, I spent too much time in my bedroom that I actually don't even sleep in my bedroom anymore because I associate it with such a really dark time. Before continuing, being anxious is so debilitating sometimes. I didn't want to leave my bed for years, and part of it was I wasn't doing the work. You have to believe in yourself and do the work that will truly enlighten you a little bit. She also details a restless night she experienced just before the summit. As recent as last night, I was in bed and I couldn't fall asleep till about 4, and it was just because my mind was simply racing, and I just kept saying over and over again, this will pass. Selena, who has previously spoken about her battles with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, said she finds it helpful to talk about her struggles with close friends as well as her therapist and her mother, Mandy Teefey, with whom she co-founded Wondermind, admitting I still have days where I need my mom, like my mommy, and then there are also moments for me I just allow myself to be vulnerable and cry and just talk it out. The former Disney Channel star also spoke about the freedom she discovered in opening up about her mental health journey. For me personally, for years, I tend to isolate. There are moments, of course, where you need to be on your own and feel things, but for years I would just walk as much. 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, and I hope no one ever looks at me and thinks, oh, her life is perfect, because that's just simply not true. I'm very grateful, and I have a very blessed life, but we're all humans, and feelings are very real, and I think it definitely needs to be talked about, and we need to educate people more about it.
