Or how about celebrities going through the same problems as a million other people dont act like they're some inspirational story. Since they pulled through thanks to millions of dollars, virtually endless resources, millions of adoring fans, and all around just 100x more than the average person. Much less average drug user. It's difficult no matter who you are, but I have endless more respect for someone pulling themselves out of the gutter than someone who was already on top and went through this with money falling out of their pockets.

“How much heartbreak can you have at 16?!” Stuff like this bothers me so much. Adults truly believe you have nothing to stress over or be sad about because you’re young. Age doesn’t mean a thing when it comes to pain. And it’s not a competition on who’s been through more pain than the next. What I’m going through may be the worst thing IVE ever experienced because it’s ME. When adults say stuff like that or, “you have nothing to be stressed about, I have to pay bi-“ it just makes me so upset and leads me to just keep everything to myself until I have a mental breakdown.

[@gabrielam.3598]

And people dont seem to get that what now can sound shallow to you, for a teen, it's their first time going through that, their mentality is different, they have different mechanisms to deal with things. You cant judge yourself or anyone for something from the past using the mentality you have now.

[@victoriarose8158]

exactly! and pain is relative too! like someone who has been through a lot may take something a lot better than someone who has had a decent life up until something bad happens and they totally breakdown because they have never experienced something like that before. Everyone feels pain differently and it isn’t fair to discredit someone and their experiences because you dealt with it better than they did. I wish adults understood this.

To the 33,000 people watching no matter where you are please be kind to yourself, your doing great!! You’ve survived 100% of your worst days *keep going*

[@a_2502]

@Ali Abr stop spamming people's comments.

[@samalarkey]

wow i've never thought of it in that way - "you've survived 100% of your worst days." thank you so much for this, this has really opened my eyes, i hope you have a great life 💜

[@lenaklipp1236]

I just wish I could talk to her myself 🥺 I know so many of us out there have felt/feeling what she is and she’s truly inspiring me and I’m sure so many more people out there on their road to recovery. Thank you Demi for sharing your story 💕

[@michelabonzio]

I feel terrible for her friends too. Some fans never know when and how to stop and they don’t realise how they can ruin her friends’ life. Most of us clearly don’t know what happens behind closed doors. Hearing that her friend lost all her jobs and clients is heartbreaking too

[@samantharosales1756]

it’s crazy how sometimes we as fans think the artist is doing so great until we see an inside of their lives. also the fact we don’t know it but we put pressure on artists and they think they have to be perfect for us. we love you Demi through the ups and downs, that’s being human and we rather see the human you than an impossible thing like the “perfect role model” 💞

[@saelmael7654]

Exactly 😔

[@a_2502]

That's why I never understand when people leave crazy, nasty, hateful comments. You literally never know. No one will ever be perfect and we shouldn't make people feel like they need to be

[@samantharosales1756]

@@a_2502 I agree. I know people can have their own opinions and I understand. But what I don’t understand is hating them so disgustingly without knowing the things they are going through or the effect it will have on them.

[@afckingmess]

It makes me sad that fans loving her so much pushed her to make these “healthy” decisions that she ended up hating and making her miserable. I hope she knows that despite how much everyone loves her, it’s her honesty during her mistakes that make us fans. Not her failures or status as a “role model”.

This just shows how powerful addictions are. And how very genetic. Her father, a massive addict. Her mum grappled with pill addiction.

[@michelleberrios7852]

And both her mom and grandma had eating disorders.

[@riase]

@@michelleberrios7852 I did not know about grandma. So sad. On one side she is incredibly talented and hard-working and on the other there is this genetic predisposition for addictions and eating disorders. So she is lucky but also unlucky.

[@7techno77]

I wouldn’t say genetic, but we are relational creatures and relationships influence us. Father/mother, brother/sister, romantic, etc. It effects how we react to certain people or situations, how we perceive the world. I love Brene Brown and all the stuff she has on shame and vulnerability , about telling our story.

[@D-raytheg]

To each their own both my parents are alcoholics and yet I wouldn’t drink even if it meant saving my life it’s really about the person and their will to do or do not

[@OnCamWithCami]

@@7techno77 scientifically speaking, if your relatives have the addiction, you are genetically more predisposed to develop addictions. Usually the result of inherited trauma, and mental illness.

[@sherirettew]

So much love for Demi using her voice and platform to share her experience with abuse and addiction and hope. She is a role model if there ever was one - relapse and all. The recovery journey is lifelong and there are going to be relapses, but as long as your heart is beating, there is always hope. Big love!
