Demi Lovato’s life was
not really as smooth as it seemed. She had a hard life during her earlier
carrer. Demi had suffered from depression, an eating
disorder, self-harm, and being bullied before she
went into rehab at the age of 18. On the 1st of November 2010, Demi entering a treatment facility for "physical
and emotional issues". It was reported that she decided to
enter treatment after punching female dancer Alex Welch.
On
the 28th of January 2011, Demi completed inpatient treatment at Timberline
Knolls and returned home. She admitted that she had had bulimia, had harmed
herself, and was drugs and alcohol addicted. She added
that she "basically had a nervous breakdown" and was
diagnosed with bipolar disorder during her treatment. Demi
later said that she had used cocaine several times
a day.
In
her documentary on You Tube called Simply Complicated, she revealed that her treatment at Timberline Knolls was not entirely successful. She still struggled with alcoholism and a cocaine addiction.
She
agreed to resume treatment and counseling for her addictions. She moved to a sober-living facility in Los Angeles with roommates and
responsibilities to help her by her drug and alcohol
struggles. She also did good activities, like Jiu-jitsu to distract her from her addiction. Now, she also try to recover from her eating disorder. She has not overcome her problems, but, she is getting better in time.
So
Demi Lovato has inspired me in so many ways. I have learned that we always have
to be strong and do everything to overcome our problems. Also as a teenager I
always have to do right and useful activities with good people. Life is hard
but we have to live it, face it and make the best of it.
