Selena Gomez shared the heartbreaking reason why she doesn’t sleep in her own bedroom, as she discussed navigating a mental health journey at her company Wondermind’s inaugural mental fitness summit.

Selena Gomez is sharing insight into how her mental health struggles have impacted her relationship with her home.

Specifically, the Only Murders in the Building star noted why she longer feels comfortable sleeping in her bedroom.

“I spent too much time in my bedroom that I actually don’t even sleep in my bedroom anymore,” Selena said at Wondermind’s inaugural virtual Mental Fitness Summit on World Mental Health Day Oct. 10, “because I associate it with such a really dark time.”

The 32-year-old continued, “Being anxious is so debilitating sometimes. I didn’t want to leave my bed for years and part of it was I wasn’t doing the work. You have to believe in yourself and do the work that will truly enlighten you a little bit.”

Selena also detailed a restless night she had experienced just before the summit.

“As recent as last night, I was in bed and I couldn’t fall asleep ’til about four, and it was just because my mind was simply racing,” she said. “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 feel asleep.

Selenam who had previously spoken about her battles with anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder, said she finds it helpful to talk about her struggles with close friends as well as her therapist and her mother, Mandy Teefey, with whom she cofounded Wondermind.

“I still have days where I need my mom, like, my mommy,” Selena admitted. “And then there are also moments for me, I just allow myself to be vulnerable and cry and just talk it out
