As someone with BPD I can relate to this so so much. Having a crisis whilst having a diagnosis like that can be brutal. I always describe it as "becoming possessed by demons". It's like someone else takes over and you are not in your body anymore and that demon starts going after what you love the most. You become cruel and nasty and there's almost no force that can stop you from hurting the ones you love the most. The worst part is snapping out of it, wakin up and looking at the aftermath of it all...all the damage, all the pain, all the destruction. It's horrible. I'm glad her loved ones can see through all that because it's not easy. I hope she feels better now.
EDIT: I KNOW SELENA HAS BIPOLAR DISORDER AND NOT BPD! What i meant is: I can sympathyze because we share the symptoms she's describing in the video.

I’m so glad she’s sharing this and doing better but as someone who suffers from mental illness myself it makes me realize what real support looks like and I’ve never had that. No one has ever stuck by me or even cared enough to be invested enough to want to know what’s going on with me. She is super lucky to have people who encouraged and cared for her and I know she is grateful for that.

So glad she’s sharing this with the world.

I have BPD and I regret a lot of thing that I said to my parents and friends, some friend I've lost because of that, and after I got the diagnosis I felt a relief cause I was consumed by guilty and regrets, I really thought I was crazy and mean person, I hated myself wildly, I've attempted, and when I realized that everything that I have is a disorder everything made sense, and saw a light at the end of the tunnel, I've started my treatment with regular therapy and remedies and I'm feeling better now. Selena saying about this out loud might help a lot of people who don't know what's going on inside themselves, will help people to acknowledge and get professional help.

Glad she was able to go through this process. She's lucky she had that immediate Support from her family. I can tell she's Grateful of that.

When you have bipolar disorder and are in the phase of mania, you might get angry really and kinda freak out, curse everyone, broke objects, you really get out of control very easy. And then a week after you are laying in your bed in depression phase, thinking about taking your life, not eating, and regretting everything you did last week. It's really exhausting having this change of humor so suddenly, it puts a lot of pressure into your body and your brain. I have BPD, I know how it feels like.

My family has bipolar. I was diagnosed at age 50, my mother is severely bipolar, my brother ended his life in 2012. My mother called me a little bitch since I was young. She recently ruined another party and cursed me out. My mother is very mean when manic and has said awful things to me my whole life without an apology or remorse for her actions. It is really healthy and admirable that you realize when you’ve done something wrong and own it and apologize. That means you’re conscious and in touch with the truth which I believe is a wonderful way to heal. I run more hypomanic and put a lot of energy into my work. I am aware most of the time when I start feeling irritated and sleep less and I do my best to not bite back. Often, I’ll withdraw during those times and focus on art and writing. I did have 1 manic episode when I was leaving my abusive ex and my fear of him manifested into a full blown manic episode with psychosis. I had kept inside for 16 years that my ex was abusive to me and my sons. I didn’t recognize the abuse because my mother was mean. I thought Love meant being forgiving. Love is kind. Now I know and have done a lot of work to love myself. Thank you for sharing. We all love you and care very much

When I got diagnosed with thyroid issues I felt such relief because I finally knew the root of the problem, my behavior and everything else. I knew what was causing me the hell I’ve been experiencing for years. The answer to that “why” when I’d loose my control. From that point I took the control back. That was such a liberating moment that I bursted into tears from the relief I felt. I relate to her in ways, that her story is comforting to hear. It’s as if realizing finally that whatever you are struggling with you are not alone.

So happy that Sel has that support and love that she has and she realises the importance of it. Love that she's being candid and truthful, no matter how it makes her look, this will help so much people. We love and support Sel. #truehero #realperson #loveSelena.

"You are the best that you've ever been. And we will never give up on you"

[kathy]

I finally watched it and all i can say is wow. Such a beautiful person. The way this woman genuinely communicates with others is so hard to find in people.
When she ended the conversation with "I'm so happy to know you" to the WE College girl, my eyes welled up seeing that college girl smile. Something about those words resignated with her, and even with me at home. Selena, if you're reading this, we're happy to know you too.

[seaweedjones]

oh my god. all these years i have hated myself and carry so much guilt for my actions, seeing someone else talk about makes me feel so much better and maybe I’m not an awful human. maybe I’m just sick. sending so much love to those who relate❤

[TheFigrsker]

I went through the same rollercoaster in the same exact same years. Very scary ordeal to experience. I feel for you. I could sense your heart and soul at unease. I'm so happy for your recovery now xx

[mimihappy]

We love you Selena thank you for telling your story. I can relate. Everything will be ok. Sending you healing and love.

[somkhitkoza]

How wonderful to have a family like that.

I am an avid mental health awareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my YouTube channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. ❤️

[fatimachowdhry]

Selena ! I love you for being so brave and you have guts and integrity to talk about this .May God Bless and heal you always!

[lotuslife]

I am so thankful for Selena Gomez, thank you.

[mnkfjxb]

This means so much to me, that someone as graceful as her becomes open about battling mental health issues. I am forever greatful Selena.

[ryanbugaren]

This is so hard to watch, because I never understood before. Thank you for sharing. I’m struggling right now to find my own diagnosis with professionals, but this makes a lot of sense.
