Selena Gomez partnered with Instagram on Tuesday to give fans a tour of her home and share how she's caring for herself while in self-isolation.
"I think right now it is more important than ever to talk about mental health, which is a subject that is very personal to me," the 27-year-old singer says in the video, which she created in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.
She continues, "I'm asking you guys to take a break with me, and I'm going to show you some of the things that help me stay positive during this time and see if any of it resonates with you."
Gomez then leads viewers on a tour through her house, admitting that "there isn't really one easy way to get through" the pandemic or "tackle mental health in general." However, she attempts to show her fans how she's tried to stay positive and maintain her mental health during the pandemic.
"Some of the things that helps me is my DBT books (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). And every single day, I'll look at a worksheet, or if there's something I'm working on, a chapter that relates to me," she says while holding up the book.
She then heads outside toward her at-home recording studio, which she says she visits when she's "feeling creative."
"This is how basically I write or work on music that needs to be worked on," Gomez explains as she shows off the "makeshift studio."
Gomez also let viewers in on her "unwinding process," which she explains while sitting on her bed with her dog Daisy.
"I usually take a walk at night because I can get rid of the day a bit. And then I come home, take a shower, wash my face, and then when I get into bed, my friends laugh at me, but I have a heating pad. It's almost like an anxiety blanket," she says. "It feels really nice. I will sometimes journal. And I have these beautiful little like, face sprays, rosewater, a candle to help me as well."
Once she's ready to sleep, Gomez reveals that she turns off all of her electronics.
The former Disney Channel star has been candid with fans about her mental health struggles in the past.
During an Instagram livestream with Miley Cyrus on April 3, Gomez revealed that she'd been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had recently gone to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.
"Recently, I went to one of the best mental hospitals… McLean Hospital, and I discussed that, after years of going through a lot of different things, I realized that I was bipolar," she told Cyrus.
Gomez also explained that as she educates herself and learns about her condition, she's started to feel more comfortable.
"When I go [to the hospital] to know more information, it actually helps me. It doesn't scare me once I know it, and I think people get scared of that," she said.
