Selena also reflected on her mental health in an interview recently, and was asked what she does on a bad mental health day.
The star, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2020, said that she will reach to friends and people that she ‘trusts.’
‘Sometimes isolating myself when I’m not feeling great can be scary. I think all these thoughts. But if I’m around people that make me feel good, and make me feel like I can say anything, that always helps me,’ Selena said, via Page Six.
She also noted that she does speak to her therapist during these moments of feeling low mentally, but she doesn’t ‘want to call my therapist too much,’ she said.
The star also said that she loves to talk to her younger sister Gracie, 11, because she’s ‘very sweet and innocent and she makes me feel very grounded.’

‘I think it’s very important where I just don’t speak to anyone and just stick with myself.’
