Selena Gomez recently reflected on her 2022 Apple TV+ documentary, My Mind & Me, which delved into her mental health struggles. The documentary captured Gomez's battle with suicidal thoughts, leading to a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. During a panel discussion at SXSW in Austin, Texas, Gomez expressed regret over the negative self-talk she engaged in during the filming of the documentary, emphasizing the importance of speaking to oneself with kindness.
My Mind & Me, shot over six years, documented Gomez's challenges with body image issues, living with lupus, and the burnout she faced as a high-profile celebrity. Despite feeling 'terrified' to release the documentary, Gomez ultimately found a sense of release in sharing her story authentically, without hiding behind a curated image.
