Selena Gomez opens up about her mental health struggles in her new documentary.

The 30-year-old pop star Selena Gomez opened up about her experience of living with bipolar disorder – which causes her extreme mood swings – in her new documentary, ‘My Mind and Me’.

In a preview clip from the documentary, Selena Gomez shares: “When I first got out, I didn’t know how I’d cope with my diagnosis. What if it happened again? What if the next time, I couldn’t come back? I needed to keep learning about it. I needed to take it day by day.”

Despite that, Selena Gomez shares that now she is in a good frame of mind.

Gomez recently confessed that she feels “nervous” about sharing her “difficulties” in her new documentary. Selena Gomez explained: “As nervous as I am to put out something this personal, in my heart I know now is the time.

“I hope that by sharing my experiences and difficulties, it will help people feel inspired to share their own stories. And to have hope that things can and will get better.”

The documentary looks at the pop star’s mental health journey, and Selena admitted that the project “took on a life of its own”.

She said: “It was never this thought-out plan thinking we were going to capture these very personal parts of my life. It just evolved from there.”
