Selena Gomez is turning a new page in her life with a diamond ring in her hand and ambitions in her eyes. The 32-year-old has been accepting her emotions and peeling away layers to connect the dots of her life, with a smile on her face.

Selena Gomez opens up about her mental health

In an interview with Allure, Gomez opened up about her mental health and how she dealt with the emotions when people started pointing out her weight because of her chronic illness, Lupus. The ‘Rare’ singer owns her mental health through dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which is a form of talk therapy focused on accepting the realities and learning to change.

Recalling the thoughts, she said, “I got stung by a person saying I was fat. Why is that [emotion] coming up?” Selena revealed that the comments about her weight has always been sensitive to her, and a triggering cause. After unpacking the thoughts in the therapy sessions, she understood that it stemmed from the time she gained because she was going through medical issues.

Moreover, Gomez started a Rare Impact Fund, allocating a percentage of the profit from her beauty brand to non-profit organizations for mental health education and resources for young people.

Selena Gomez wants to evolve in her new season

“I want to keep evolving and getting better in every area of my life. And I want to experience everything, so it's important for me to keep myself in check,” she said, when asked about what she wants in her new season of life. She ended with a note that whenever her emotions pop up, and she’s able to acknowledge it, that’s the best feeling, as she can be a part of it and swiftly let it go and not let it control her.
