Selena Gomez: “I have a lot of problems with depression and anxiety“

In Selena Gomez's most recent interview with fashion magazineHarper's Bazaar, for the first time the female singer shared about her current life and her long-standing concerns.

When asked what was the most important thing in her career in 2018, the 25-year-old singer affirmed: "Currently, I no longer care too much about the things that I used to care about like "Am I getting old? Do I look sexy? Am I "cool"? Am I beautiful enough, graceful enough?". Now, I feel more comfortable and relaxed.

Famous since her teenage years, but Selena shared that she was self-conscious about her life at that time and she considered "being famous too early as a trade-off for my current life".

Dubbed the "Queen of Instagram", she also expressed concern about the negative impact on young people when they overuse social networks: "I have a complicated relationship with Instagram.It gives me the opportunity to share my thoughts amidst the noise that many people make to control my life. It gives me power because I can use my words and my truth.

The only thing that worries me is that people our age are overvaluing social media. It's a great platform, but it also gives young people, including myself, a false sense of what's really important. So it's a complicated relationship, probably one of the most difficult relationships I've ever had."

Sharing about her career in 2018, the female singer believes that this will be a successful year for her: "This year will be a year with many better things, I believe that because of myself. People who know me know that I always take my health seriously. I have a lot of problems with depression and anxiety.

I've sung about it but I know it's not something I feel like I'm going to get through. There's not going to be a day where I can say, "I've won." I think it's a battle that I'll have my whole life and I feel okay because I know I'm making the right choices. I started the new year with that in mind. I want to make sure I'm healthy. If my health is good, everything else will be okay. I don't set goals for myself because I don't want to be disappointed if I don't achieve them but I'm still going to keep working on my music.

Right now, I don't have any plans to make a new album. People ask me why, and I honestly say: Because I'm not ready. I mean, at this point, I don't feel confident enough about my music. If it takes another 10 years, I'll wait. I don't care. Right now, I just want to focus on what I'm doing."

Selena's life is very simple, she usually spends every Saturday night with her 4-year-old half-sister Gracie or goes to dinner at the popular restaurant Chili's with friends./.
