Selena Gomez is facing the sad news that she may never know what it is like to carry her own children due to her bipolar disorder medications.
“That’s a very big, big present thing in my life,” Gomez, 30, said. “However I’m meant to have them, I will.”
After a 2018 psychosis episode and bipolar diagnosis, Gomez was prescribed multiple medications, but her psychiatrist pulled her off all but two.
“I had to detox, essentially, from the medications I was on,” Gomez recalled. “I had to learn how to remember certain words. I would forget where I was when we were talking.”
Gomez has recently been speaking openly about her struggles with mental health before her “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me” documentary release on Friday. She has also reflected on feeling gone before detoxing from her meds.
“There was no part of me that was there anymore,” she said.
While sharing her plans to make a family on an episode of “Giving Back Generation”, Gomez said, “I hope to be married and to be a mom.”
While celebrating her birthday over the summer, Gomez had a wedding-themed bash because she thought she’d have tied the knot by now.
“I grew up thinking I would be married at 25,” Gomez said. “It wrecked me that I was nowhere near that, I couldn’t be farther from it. It was so stupid, but I really thought my world was over.”
“My party is a mixture of sophisticated and hysterical,” she explained. “We had lovely drinks, and it was beautiful, and then my friend Cara Delevingne comes in and brings strippers.”
Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, Francia Raisa, Camila Cabello and Billie Eilish also attended the star-studded affair.
Gomez claims that she plans to disappear after “My Mind & Me” comes out.
“This is probably the most you’ll hear about me for a while,” she said. “I want this to come out, but I also want this behind me.”
