Motivational Success Story Of Selena Gomez - How She Fights Depression & Anxiety And Doesn't Give Up

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.”
You need to fight your depression. Start by creating small task that you can accomplish with a bit of an effort.Start by not laying down in bed. Get up! Use some positive affirmations to help you start your day. I can do this! I am strong! I am powerful! If you do it long enough your brain will believe it.
Pets can help you cope with your depression. Pets will remind you that you're not alone, they're here to comfort you and give you unconditional love. And that is very important when you feel lonely, depressed or isolated.
This journey of heeling will be hard, but You will start to feel better..
Just one step at a time.

Are you tired of being unhappy, unfulfilled, not confident? It’s time to change your mindset! Do you need just a little bit of motivation to change things? The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same.
You're on the right place.

I was a smart , talented , fearless girl but ever since I was bullied by my classmates for the way I dressed up , I lost my confidence . I became shy and stupid . It's becoming worse in college . I finally told my parents that it's getting worst . I am going to see a therapist tomorrow. I hope everything goes well

[@inspireyourselfnow]

I hope your therapist will help you. You'll see that, that beautiful , talented, fearless girl is still in you. You just need to dig deeper to find her. ❤️❤️❤️

Depression & anxiety are silent killers. It takes away your will to do almost everything. Many people would have told you to just get over it but it's not that easy & it's not forever either. You just have to get through one day at a time. And one day you will wake up & your depression won't be in control any more. It will be you who controls how your every day goes. It all starts in your mind. Strength it everyday 💪🙌. You are strong and will not only survive. You will thrive! Believe it :)

[@inspireyourselfnow]

Step by step.. It's hard path, but is worth going!

She is one and only living legend. I love you babe 😍😘. We Selenators will be always by your side no matter who comes. Shine bright like this always.

[@nishtha1315]

I watched this video when it was released and I was struggling with depression then. I saw this video and found every thing so damn true like whatever she said about depression that it takes a lot just to get up and do certain tasks in life. From then I've helped myself a lot in getting myself out of depression, gaining confidence and realising my worth. And I was just scrolling on KZbin and I found this video again . I watched it again and the things that I felt when I watched it the first time came in my mind. I'm so proud of the fact that I made it through even if it took a little long. So I would say to all of you going through depression and anxiety that don't you ever give up. I've been through the same and I could say that it seems impossible to get out of it but do it for yourself plz. You do not deserve to be like this and you all deserve to live a better life. You all deserve to feel confident about yourself. Like she said take a step at a time but don't stop until you feel better... You are not alone... ❤❤❤
