A look inside the complicated life of Selena Gomez. The superstar documented her career and health journey from 2016 to 2020 in Apple TV+’s My Mind & Me, which starts streaming on Friday, November 4.The documentary kicked off with the then-23-year-old preparing for her Revival tour in spring 2016.

As she broke down over wardrobe, stage design and more, Gomez admitted that “the pressure” to succeed was “overwhelming because I want to do the best I can.”She ultimately canceled the tour after 55 dates, checking into a treatment center following a “psychotic break,” according to her best friend Raquelle Stevens, who is by her side throughout the film.After being in and out of treatment for three years, the movie picked up in 2019.

Gomez, who was diagnosed with lupus in 2015, explained that while she “loved” working when she was on Barney and in her early Disney days, she felt “vain” and “lonely” as she got more successful.

Going on tour made her feel worse.“After I got out of the last treatment center, I knew what made me happy was connection,” she explained as she re-explored her hometown in Texas in 2019.While only mentioned by name from Gomez once in the film, her on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Bieber is a clear theme throughout the doc.
