The 30-year-old pop star has revealed that she felt a sense of relief when she received her diagnosis, because it helped to explain her emotional struggles
Demi Lovato opened up about the relief she felt after getting her bipolar diagnosis at the Hollywood & Mind Summit in Los Angeles on Thursday (May 18th). According to People, the "Heart Attack" singer told audience members, "I was so relieved that I had finally had a diagnosis. I had spent so many years struggling, and I didn't know why I was a certain way in dealing with depression at such extreme lows, when I seemingly had the world in front of me just ripe with opportunities." She continued, "It was things like, I remember being 15 years old on a tour bus and watching fans follow my bus with posters and trying to get me to wave outside the window. And all I could do was just sit there and cry. And I remember being in the back of my tour bus watching my fans and crying and being like, 'Why am I so unhappy?' " Lovato added that she revealed her diagnosis publicly in order to "help others with their journey."
