On being “relieved” to receive her bipolar diagnosis…

“I was so relieved that I had finally had a diagnosis,” Demi recalled. “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.”

They continued, saying, “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?’”

If you missed it, Demi recently opened up about their new album and a problem they were having with it.
