The singer also believes that within the first 10 minutes of her day, she can determine if it would be a mental health day for her, and like everyone, she too has bad days and accepts them. She finds comfort in the innocence of her 10-year-old sister.
Her advice to anyone who is struggling with mental health issues would be, "I don't love giving advice because I don't have all of the answers. I'd say, though, find a friend or a family member you feel comfortable talking with and open up about what you are feeling. It's very freeing to open up to someone. There is so much strength in being vulnerable."
In conclusion, Selena Gomez advised all her readers, "Please know you are enough, and you are not alone." Mental health is a sensitive subject of discussion and getting help for the near and dear ones is mandatory from the early signs. Making them feel like they are not alone, as suggested by Selena becomes important.
