Selena reveals it all

Reportedly, she said that she thinks that people are better when they tell the truth so this was her truth. She said that in the previous year she suffered mentally and emotionally. She added that she was not able to stay 'all kept up and together' and she felt like all of her pain and anxiety washed over her all at the same time which was one of the scariest moments of her life. She further revealed that she required support and doctors were able to give her a clear diagnosis and that was the moment when she got that information and actually felt equal parts of terrified and relieved. She also said that she was obviously terrified due to the cover being lifted but also relieved because she had knowledge of why she had suffered for so many years with depression and anxiety.
