Selena Gomez Opens Up About How She Takes Care of Her Mental Health

 

Singer and actress Selena Gomez has once again spoken candidly about her mental health journey.

At the Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles, the 33-year-old star shared with People how she manages to stay emotionally balanced, even on the toughest days.

“Some days, you just need to let yourself feel everything—and then laugh it off,” Gomez said with a smile.

The Only Murders in the Building actress attended the event at NYA Studios West with her husband, Benny Blanco, less than five weeks after the couple’s intimate wedding in Santa Barbara, California.

The charity benefit supports the Rare Impact Fund, an initiative launched through her beauty brand Rare Beauty, which aims to raise $100 million to expand access to youth mental health resources worldwide.

When asked about her personal approach to mental well-being, Gomez said there’s no universal solution:

“I don’t think there’s one key. I just know what helps me — spending time with friends, talking to my therapist, and surrounding myself with people who truly understand.”

Now in its third year, the Rare Impact Fund Benefit was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and featured live performances by The Marías and Laufey.

Gomez expressed pride in how far her foundation has come:

“We reach about 2 million young people every day. It’s so inspiring to see the impact our work is having around the world. I’m beyond grateful and excited for what’s next.”

Over the past few years, Selena has been open about her ongoing battles with anxiety, depression, and lupus. Her 2022 Apple TV+ documentary, My Mind & Me, offered an unfiltered look into her struggles and growth while navigating fame and personal healing.

Beyond her music and acting, Gomez’s Rare Beauty has become one of the most influential celebrity-founded brands, promoting not just beauty — but emotional well-being, confidence, and self-acceptance.
