“I feel like I am in control now, where my whole life I wasn’t in control,” Lovato said at the inaugural Hollywood & Mind Summit.
actress recalled feeling deeply confused about their mental state. “It was things like, I remember being 15 years old on a tour bus and watching fans follow my bus with posters and trying to get me to wave outside the window. And all I could do was just sit there and cry,” Lovato said.
“I was so relieved that I had finally had a diagnosis,” Lovato added, noting that it wasn’t until she sought treatment for anorexia and bulimia that she found out about her bipolar disorder. “I had spent so many years struggling, and I didn’t know why I was a certain way in dealing with depression at such extreme lows, when I seemingly had the world in front of me just ripe with opportunities.”
Now that they’re in a better place, Lovato explained that doing things like ignoring comments on Instagram — even positive ones — are important to preserving that inner peace. “If I see something negative, it’s going to hurt my feelings, and if I see something positive, it’s going to feed into that outside validation that I’ve worked so hard to not need, and that goes back to my child star days of needing outside validation,” the musician said.
“I’m learning more about myself every day,” Lovato added. “That mentality of setting boundaries then taking a step back and [realizing], ‘No, this is actually what I want,’ is a journey I encourage everyone to [take].”
