I would much rather be healthy and take care of myself and my medications are important
and I believe they are what helps me.
Selena Gomez getting real about her struggles with lupus.
I'm very honest though in general.
The star goes live on Instagram to explain how medication for her diagnosis affects her
body.
I tend to hold a lot of water weight and that happens very normally and then when I'm off
of it I tend to kind of lose weight.
She also takes a moment to send a heartfelt reminder to fans.
I just wanted to say and encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for
exactly what they're going through and nobody knows the real story so I just want people
to know that you're beautiful and you're wonderful.
But doesn't hesitate calling out the haters too.
Thanks for supporting me and understanding and if not go away because honestly I don't
believe in shaming people for body or anything.
I've heard it all before at least a million times.
I want to forget you.
Yeah, Sel's no stranger to addressing online trolls, but it's her commitment to spreading
kindness that's never wavering.
With kindness.
I'm constantly somebody that likes to grow and feel like alright what could I be better
at what could I do better at where could my confidence be stronger.
And in her documentary My Mind and Me, the singer doesn't shy away from sharing her challenges
with lupus.
Then just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did.
My lupus.
You're in pain?
Give me a hug.
I'm sorry.
You did great.
I love you.
They're going to figure it out.
You're going to feel better.
It just hurts.
Like in the morning when I like wake up immediately I start like crying because it hurts.
Yeah.
Everything.
In a weird way I feel like it is it's a time capsule of a period of my life where I look
back and I actually feel bad for that version of myself.
And I think that it was good for me to see how I was responding to my body the way I
was acting the way it was so irrational at moments and I think it was really healing
for me to see that and get it out I think so.
I never actually was afraid to tell people that I want to take time for myself.
I never thought that was a bad thing so to be sharing to be sharing something honest
and saying hey I'm taking a break because I need it.
I'm being honest and I think that's just who I am.
