Selena Gomez confessed she didn’t ‘want to be alive’ during her ‘psychotic break’
During her 2016 “Revival” tour, Selena Gomez had a “mental breakdown” and contemplated suicide. After 55 shows, the “Who Says” singer called off the rest of her concert tour in August to focus on her mental health.
Somewhere in there, she says, “I don’t want to be alive right now. I don’t want to keep breathing.
In her new Apple TV+ documentary, “My Mind and Me,” Gomez’s former aide Theresa recalls the story. And my response was, ‘Wait, what?’ What Theresa can remember.
It was one of those times when your gaze met nothing but emptiness in her eyes. Nothing except total darkness. This is really creepy. “
You just want to say, “F-k this.” This has got to stop. Let’s get in the car and head back to the house.
Gomez’s best friend Raquelle claimed that the 30-year-“psychotic old’s break” was brought on by the “louder and louder” voices in her head.
Mandy Teefey, the mother of “Lose You to Love Me” singer Halsey, says that the pop star refused to have “anything to do” with her when Halsey had a mental breakdown and that she found out about it from TMZ.

After receiving a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, Gomez checked into a mental health facility to alleviate her suffering. To quote Gomez: “I didn’t want to go to a mental health hospital.”
It wasn’t that I wanted to, but I couldn’t stand being cooped up in my own head any longer. For a little moment, I felt like my existence didn’t matter anymore.
“This is how I’m going to be from now on,” I told myself. When her white blood cell count dropped precipitously in October 2018 due to symptoms from lupus, the “Wolves” singer had another mental collapse.
She was taken to Cedars-Sinai, but she tried to rip out her IVs and demanded to go home.
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) was the treatment of choice at the East Coast mental facility she checked into. While there, she learned techniques like mindfulness, healthy communication and behavioral patterns, emotional control, and more effective responses to bad experiences.
According to sources, Gomez has avoided alcohol since she spent two weeks in rehab in February 2018 for melancholy and anxiety, her third time in treatment for these concerns.
At the beginning of 2014, Gomez checked into the Dawn of the Meadows facility in Arizona. After two years, she entered a facility in Tennessee dedicated to mental health care.
Watch “My Mind and Me” on Apple TV+ starting November 4th.
