Demi Lovato Speaks About Her Nervous Breakdown

Demi Lovato has signed on to be a contributing editor for Seventeen and she will post articles twice a month on the website. In her first edition she is finally opening up about her trip to rehab a couple of months ago.

On her breakdown: “I basically had a nervous breakdown. I was really bad off. My parents and my manager pulled me aside and said, ‘You need to get some help.’ It was an intervention. I wanted freedom from the inner demons. I wanted to start my life over.”

On being tempted to bounce back: “Yes, there have been times when I definitely have been tempted to get rid of my dinner. But I will deal with it for the rest of my life because it’s a life-long disease. I don’t think there’s going to be a day when I don’t think about food or my body, but I’m living with it, and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it.”

On how she stays strong: “I don’t let anyone’s insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that’s all that matters to me. And it’s okay to be selfish like that sometimes, when it comes to your well-being. Do what makes you happy, and don’t care what others think.”

On top of writing for Seventeen she has also teamed up with the Jed Foundation to help teenage girls suffering from the same issues that she faced herself. I know most people, including myself, don’t really care or know much about Demi Lovato but I do have to hand it to her for opening up and wanting to help other people.
