It’s not like I don’t have a life of my own. It’s been horrible for my work at times, but at others, it’s like, “Now I can talk about things like my depression and anxiety, things that I’ve fought with and am completely honest about because I believe in seeking assistance.” But, aside from that, what keeps me grounded is that I try to stay away from it. What’s kept me afloat is the knowledge that it’ll be someone else eventually-and I don’t mean that negatively. SELENA GOMEZ: The unfortunate thing is, I can’t recall a period when that wasn’t the case. It’s impossible to cough without becoming hot news. Because you have such a magnifying glass on you, I want to be really cautious in this interview. I listen to mine, and it advises me every day not to do Zumba. SCHUMER: Pay attention to your body’s signals. SELENA GOMEZ: I was planning on doing Zumba later, but it’s not going to happen. SELENA GOMEZ: Last night, I had Chinese cuisine. Here’s the conversation between AMY SCHUMER and SELENA GOMEZ.ĪMY SCHUMER: What did you have for breakfast this morning? Gomez assures her pal, comedian Amy Schumer, that she will be OK. The song was the lead single from Rare, an intimate dance-floor confessional that converts vulnerability into strength and failure into success. Gomez returned to the public eye last year with “Lose You to Love Me,” a self-empowerment hymn that alchemized personal anguish into public catharsis, following a known struggle with anxiety and depression and the therapy that followed. It turns out the answer is a resounding yes. There were doubts about whether a girl from Grand Prairie, Texas, could handle it. She’s also a lupus survivor, having been diagnosed with the inflammatory condition in 2013 and requiring a kidney transplant in 2017.

She is a worldwide pop star with three number-one albums, the fifth-most-followed person on Instagram, an actor since the age of 7, an exec director of documentaries and t.v, a tabloid fixation, a philanthropist, a mental health advocate, and, most recently, the founder of an inclusive beauty line, all at the age of 27. Selena Gomez has been on the planet for a very long time.
