Selena Gomez has to get mental health treatment, doesn’t dare to go on social media, all because of Justin Bieber?

In an interview, Selena Gomez rarely revealed a difficult time psychologically after breaking up with Justin Bieber. After the sharing, fans couldn’t help but lament the pain of breaking up the singer’s romance.

The love story between Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber has made fans watch every day, every hour. When the couple “fell in love again” in October 2017, fans had more hope for a fairytale love. And when Selena broke up with Justin in March 2018, disappointment filled fans’ hearts again.

Not only fans, when chatting with Fast Company magazine, the 31-year-old star said that her breakup with Justin Bieber in 2018 caused her to pause on social media for a long time: “My heart was just broken. I don’t need to see what people are doing. Then there were the moments when I no longer felt positive about how I looked because of things I saw on Instagram. I wish my body looked like theirs.”

The same year she broke up with Justin Bieber, Selena was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The singer has been quietly going to psychological treatment for some time. In 2020, she first opened up about mental health in a conversation with Miley Cyrus.

Selena candidly addressed her problems in a recent interview. She said: “I want to start a conversation. I’m not ashamed and I want it to lead to something that can help heal.”

The Slow Down singer explained that she used to want to hide the results of her diagnosis for fear that people wouldn’t like her anymore: “I grew up being a person who always pleased people. I was responsible when I was very young, young people admired me. I didn’t know who I was. Carrying that responsibility makes me very confused. So I think it’s very damaging to tell people who I am. Then it became a threat that freaked me out.”

Selena choked up as she told the story a few years ago: “I was heartbroken when a girl came up to me and said, ‘I almost took my own life but when I watched your documentary, I couldn’t imagine doing it again.’ It’s the best gift to me, but, look at me… It’s crazy to be held accountable.”

Selena herself went through difficult times when she did not fully understand her illness. Later, having received the correct diagnosis, the singer felt more relieved. She thanked the doctors for helping her through each day.

In December 2010, Selena began dating singer Justin Bieber. After the two first broke up in December 2012, they quickly got back together after only a few weeks apart, and very quickly, they broke up again in January 2013.

Selena and Justin Bieber resumed a relationship that lasted for several months in 2013, 2014, and 2015. In late 2017, the two got back together, but then broke up again in March 2018.

In July 2018, Justin Bieber got engaged to model Hailey Baldwin and then got married in September of that year. Around Selena and Justin Bieber’s “fusion, dissolution” affair, the media and public have commented a lot. The fact that the two finally did not get together after nearly a decade of dating has left a lot of regrets for fans.

After Justin Bieber got married, this “3-person story” has been a hot topic on showbiz news sites for many years. In September 2023, model Hailey Baldwin officially confirmed in an interview that she did not “steal” Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez. For her part, Hailey Bieber has also been bullied and harassed online by a section of netizens for years.

After years of living in the midst of hating each other, the two “heroines” finally decided to take an intimate photo while attending a recent event together to dispel ugly rumors. Hailey insists there is no grudge between her and Selena Gomez, who respect each other and what has passed.

Gomez also always sends a message to his fans to act kind, be kind to others, never say hateful or harsh words. This is understood to be a way for her to indirectly express her support for Hailey.

Selena said: “When I started my relationship, I was still too young to understand some of the basics. I think most of my experiences in romance have been subject to a curse of suffering. I always felt like I was inferior to my partner in past relationships, I never felt like I was really their equal.”
