"Let me make you a promise, I will only tell you my darkest secrets," the promise Selena Gomez makes at the beginning of Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, her revealing new Apple TV+ documentary. While the 30-year-old has been open about her major health crises such as her Lopus diagnosis, and recently spoke about her bipolar disorder, Selena has never been more vulnerable than in the film, which opens Nov. 4.
Indeed, throughout My Mind & Me, Selena gets completely candid. In fact, the artist has even spoken about her stay in a psychiatric facility in 2016. In addition, he has recounted the devastating way in which his mother, Mandy Teefey, learned that she was seeking treatment. On the other hand, there has also been a crushing confession, she wonders if she will ever be "good enough" on her own or if she will always be inextricably linked to her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber. But ultimately, My Mind & Me is the story of a young woman learning to accept, embrace and love herself.
"I found that having a relationship with bipolar and myself is going to be there," Selena says. "I'm just making her my friend now. I think I needed to go through that to be who I am and I'm going to move on, but I'm very happy. I'm at peace. I'm angry. I'm sad. I'm competent. I am full of self-doubt. I am a work in progress. I am enough. I am Selena." The last few years for Gomez have undoubtedly been very difficult and have had different stages; from The Revival Tour, which exhausted her physically and in fact, mentally, to the fact that her friends feared for her life.
