Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me

Selena's documentary had me hooked from the beginning. I love how open and honest she was about her internal struggles with her health, fame, philanthropy and mental health. I think what makes this so special is that her thoughts are so relatable. The documentary makes you, the viewer, feel like you a friend on her journey.

I've always been a Selena Gomez fan and this experience just confirmed why she is one of my favorite celebrities. The future of fame is vulnerability and Selena is a leader in bringing authenticity back in all walks of life. I highly recommend everyone to give this watch even if you don't know her or not a fan.

I will admit, I cried a few times watching this one. It was heavy and vulnerable in a way I wasn't even entirely prepared for. It was an extremely human documentary, not polished up with anything. Very little, almost no, sit down interviews and commentary about what we're watching unfold. Nobody is spoon feeding us their takes or opinions. We are just watching Selena go through all she went through, learning so much along the way.

I've always liked Selena Gomez but I haven't been like her #1 fan. I'm happy to say I've never said one negative thing about her. And I'm glad, because she used this documentary to show why human beings need room to breathe and live their lives, celebrity or not. People have to get to make mistakes, struggle, get back up again, and be respected.

Well done to the filmmakers of "My Mind & Me." The journal entry readings, the footage chosen, the way it was all left on the table, will all have an impact on me for a long time to come.

It was raw. It was emotional. It was honest. I applaud Selena for deciding to speak to the world in this way. I have always admired her for the many things she is and does. This movie took it to a whole new level. I've been battling with my own mental and physical health and knowing that it's gaining more visibility by people, it's becoming a bigger conversation, thankfully to Selena and people with her platform, it means a lot. Mental health pains is not a monster we should hide. What Selena is doing is important and so necessary. Every such conversation is a beat that keeps our hearts alive.

Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me is an engaging and engrossing view into the life of a pop culture machine that both nurtures and deprives the protagonist of her most valued need for connection and authentic living. The documentary takes us through Selena's life; from her humble beginnings as a child actor, to her struggle with autoimmune disease at the height of pop stardom, to a mental breakdown that lands her in in-patient treatment.

As a mental health professional who also struggles with anxiety and depression, this is one of the most raw and honest depictions of mental health I've ever seen. One of the more poignant themes is how much Selena is affected by being caught up in an existential struggle for authenticity, in which she surrounded by yes men and people who don't appear to have her best interests at heart. There are many poignant moments in the documentary, and I am not a good enough writer to explain them all. I just know that there is something uniquely special on display here.

If you struggle with your mental/physical health at all, this is a good documentary to watch to see how our struggles are all essentially the same; that we all struggle with stress and pressure and how we are all at our center living life for moments of connection, peace, and meaning.

As a victim of Mental demon, This documentary tells more than explanation and imagination. Mental illness is so cruel, if you have physical problems with that...i can't even imagine that! She's so strong after all this. I always proud myself for being alive, in her case I feel more than that. She use her position rightfully to speak and support to millions for making all strong by saying YOU'RE NOT ALONE!

The song itself broke anyone. Nov 3 eve 6pm(India) I heard for the 1st time in my bed...immediately my mind rewinding my past 2 years of dark times and never stop that song for 6 hours and cry endlessly throughout that time. It's my honest review people!

I just say THANK YOU SO SO MUCH to do that❤
