Selena Gomez Reveals the Dark Reason Behind Why She Does Not Sleep In Her Bedroom

Selena Gomez, the eminent singer and actress is getting candid about her mental health. She just revealed why she no longer sleeps in her bedroom. The Only Murders in the Building actress, 32, opened up about how a dark period in her life is associated with her bedroom and has made her uncomfortable sleeping there. During Wondermind’s Mental Fitness Summit on Thursday, Oct. 10, Selena Gomez got candid about her ongoing struggles with mental health when the revelation of her not being comfortable enough to sleep in her bedroom came. Gomez and her mom Mandy Teefey are co-founders of this mental health platform and at this virtual event, both were key speakers.

When Gomez spoke about the topic, her mom quickly came to her side and revealed that she tends to crawl up in her bed and “do bed rotting” whenever she is anxious about her future. “I’m a little bit different than my mom because I spent too much time in my bedroom that I actually don’t even sleep in my bedroom anymore,” the Wizards of Waverly Place star said. She further revealed that she associates her bedroom “with such a really dark time.” She continued, “Being anxious is so debilitating sometimes. I didn’t want to leave my bed for years.”

Gomez further added that “part of it is I wasn’t doing the work. You have to believe in yourself and do the work that will truly enlighten you a little bit, even if that is watching a show for 30 minutes.” After revealing that she no longer sleeps in her bedroom to avoid evoking those “dark” feelings, the singer said that she still struggles with insomnia. She further admitted that it was difficult for her to fall asleep and that she fell asleep at 4 a.m. before the night of this event. “It was just because my mind was simply racing and I just kept saying over and over again, ‘This will pass, just let it go through your body and it’ll go away.’ And of course, eventually, I fell asleep.”

The ‘Love You Like a Love Song’ singer has always been open about her struggles with mental health and has taken the step to break the stigma around it. The singer released her tell-all documentary My Mind & Me in 2022. The documentary detailed the bipolar disorder diagnosis of Gomez in 2019, and how the star was suicidal for quite some time, leading to her hospitalization in 2018.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the singer opened up about her mental health journey. “In the beginning, it seemed hopeless,” she told the interviewer about her dark feelings at the time. “Sometimes it was a challenge for me to even get out of bed. I was like, ‘Why can’t I be like you guys?’ Over the years, I’ve finally found my rhythm, but it took me time.” She continued, “I’ve tried a ton of different things, but the one thing I’ve never stopped doing is asking for help. That was the hardest part, but I truly believe that that’s why I’m stronger. This is something that is the most important thing in the world to me ’cause it’s my mental health.”
