Demi Lovato has opened up about her mental health struggles, a year after taking an overdose at her Los Angeles home.
In her first major interview in over a year, the 27-year-old star described herself as a “fighter” as she focused on her personal battle of the last 12 months.
Demi was rushed to hospital in July 2018 after being found unconscious at her Hollywood Hills home following a suspected opioid overdose.
Speaking to Teen Vogue editor in chief Lindsay Peoples Wagner at the Teen Vogue Summit in LA this weekend, Demi said:
“What I see in the mirror [is] someone that's overcome a lot.The Sorry Not Sorry singer went on: “I think it's been a very introspective year for me. I've learned a lot, been through a lot.”
"I've been through a lot and I genuinely see a fighter.
“I don't see a championship winner, but I see a fighter and someone who is going to continue to fight no matter what is thrown in their way.”
Demi also revealed that she is no longer putting stress on her body, choosing instead to spend most of October in the gym.
She said: “For so many years I dealt with an eating disorder. What I wasn't ever open with myself about was, whenever I was in the gym I was doing it to an unhealthy extreme.
“I think that's what led me down a darker path - I was still engaging in these behaviours. Embracing my body as it is naturally is why I took the month of October off the gym.”
