Motivational Success Story Of Selena Gomez - How She Fights Depression & Anxiety And Doesn't Give Up
This motivational success story will help you realize that depression never discriminates. That depression is a constant battle and even celebrities like Selena Gomez, whose life sounds perfect, can suffer from depression and anxiety.
But what's different is that Selena Speaks about depression openly and tries to use her celebrity status to raise awareness of how important your mental health is and how important is to seek treatment, seek help and not stay silent, voiceless, because of shame or judgement.
She was 5 years old when her parents got divorced. She and her mother moved to Los Angeles and struggled financially. They were very, very poor.Her mother had to work 3 jobs just to get by.
While watching her mother prepare for stage productions, Selena's love for pursuing the same career was born.
Her first break came in 2002, with the show, 'Barney and Friends'. She became very popular soon and got many acting roles. Also she has a very successful singing career.
But her troubles and problems didn't end with her popularity. Unfortunately, they got worse..
“I was depressed, anxious. I started to have panic attacks right before getting on stage, or right after leaving the stage.”
“Depression was my life for 5 years straight. Depression and anxiety were the forefront of everything that I did in my life. Every single thing. I would make myself have the courage to just keep going.”
She spent 90 days in the treatment center in Tennessee. She underwent a dialectical behavior therapy. The main focus of this therapy is acceptance and mindfulness, also working on changing the negative behaviors with a therapist.
“DBT has completely changed my life, I wish more people would talk about therapy. We girls, we’re taught to be almost too resilient, to be strong and sexy and cool and laid-back, the girl who’s down. We also need to feel allowed to fall apart.”
