Opening up about how hearing other people’s stories has helped her through her own mental health journey, she said: “I think we are not alone.”

“I think sometimes when you’re there listening to a friend going through something, it allows you to understand other people, and having them heal you through listening to what they are walking through… it connects you and bonds you, but you have to trust the right people to do that.” – she added.

Gomez released her documentary ‘My Mind and Me’ last year that spoke to her mental health journey, and she insisted that wasn’t her inspiration or goal when she started her career. However, she’s glad to use her platform to promote such important causes.
