Now that she’s back to her regular routine, she still goes to therapy and is in a different state of mind. “I go to therapy. I believe in that and talking about where you are,” she says. “But I’m in a really, really healthy place.” She didn’t want her fans to have a negative view of taking care of yourself, so this is why she decided to go get the help she needed. After she came back she was asked to go to the American Music Awards and it was an overwhelming experience, so much that she felt her back was sweating.
One of the biggest things that affect her is social media. “Because of social media, because of all the pressure that girls have, it’s so difficult. It’s good to be connected, to see things, and to get a sense of what your friends are up to,” she explains. “But it also allows people to think they need to look or be a certain way.”
Selena Gomez is in a much better place now and one of the reasons she’s so open about her personal struggles is because she feels that she’s at a place where if she can use her voice to speak out on a variety of issues, whether it be about health or happiness in order to help others, she’s definitely going to say something.
