While attending the Wondermind Mental Fitness Summit on Thursday in honor of World Mental Health Day, Selena Gomez revealed that she doesn’t sleep in her bedroom, per AOL.

The 32-year-old star of ‘The Only Murders in the Building’ explained to the audience that her room was ‘associated’ with ‘a very dark time’.

“I’m a little bit different from my mom because I spent too much time in my bedroom, so I don’t even sleep in my bedroom anymore because I associate it with such a very dark time,” Gomez said.

“Being anxious is so debilitating sometimes, and yes, I didn’t want to leave my bed for years, and part of that was not doing the work,” she continued. “I am a very anxious person. It’s a bit like judgment day, and I think having a positive conversation with yourself, even though it sounds strange, really has an impact.

Gomez then walked the audience through her methods for calming down in high-intensity situations.

“Like before I get out of the car, and there’s going to be a lot of noises and stuff — if that’s the case, I’m not saying that’s every day — but I have to breathe,” the Disney alum added. “And I have to say, ‘This is all a gift, and I may not be in the mood for this, (but) every time I see someone and end up making them laugh, (it) always makes my day. it doesn’t matter how I feel. ”

The “Calm Down” singer also discussed the importance of a close-knit “inner circle.”

“I don’t have many people in my life, (but) I know who my inner circle is. I need to talk things out,” Gomez admitted. “And I also have a therapist, but it’s also nice to have people around you who just listen to you.”

She noted, “There is a freedom in letting go of whatever you’re holding on to and the lump in your throat.”

During the panel discussion, Gomez also reflected on her 2022 documentary “My Mind & Me,” in which she opened up about her bipolar disorder diagnosis and life with lupus.

One major thing that has helped the Rare Beauty founder is taking time off from social media, but at the same time she confessed that she “had to stop defending herself.”

“Because I shouldn’t apologize for being honest, for saying I’m not good, and that’s not a nice thing you said,” Gomez said, before adding that her mother had taught her “that the noise is constantly there will be.”

“But it’s about finding that moment where I physically say, ‘No, I’m a good person, I’m kind, I work really hard and I’m grateful, and I love all the little things in life,’ and I need that reminder.”

However, Gomez noted, “I’m not going to lie, it hurts a little bit. I’m definitely not one of those people who can kind of ignore it.

“I only speak for my generation because it’s crazy how inhumane people can be with their words and things they would probably never say in person. It just hurts.”
