Selena Gomez recently shared a deeply personal reason behind her decision to avoid sleeping in her own bedroom. In a candid revelation, the Wizards of Waverly Place star admitted that her bedroom has become a space she now associates with a dark period in her life.
During a recent interview, Gomez reflected on her struggles with anxiety, explaining how it had a profound impact on her mental health and her relationship with her personal space. “Being anxious is so debilitating sometimes. I didn’t want to leave my bed for years,” she confessed, describing how the emotional toll had left her retreating into isolation.
The 31-year-old pop star revealed that her bedroom became a symbol of this dark period, as she battled feelings of helplessness. “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,” Gomez explained.
While she eventually found solace, Gomez’s experience highlights the long-lasting effects of anxiety and mental health struggles. She chose to step away from her bedroom to redefine her relationship with the space and focus on her mental well-being.
This revelation offers insight into Gomez’s ongoing journey toward healing and self-care, as she continues to use her platform to raise awareness about mental health issues, a cause she has been actively supporting in recent years.
