You are my inspiration to continue studying medicine and drug abuse issues~~ Mental illness plus addiction are the worst combination. Hope you could have found a strong family medicine doctor.

I think that people who put there kids on a screen are selfish and shouldn't have those kids anymore. Something so common with child stars is that they say it's hard to say no when they are the breadwinner and that's so sad with all these family channels and knowing how hard it can be for adults to find work so if they can sell their kid to the devil then ya they'd do it if it meant they'd get a bunch of money

I feel like the image that her and her team continues to push of her being a warrior and survivor is their way of trying to control the narrative. I feel like it’s actually harmful to Demi’s recovery, it puts a lot of added pressure on her when in reality recovery is hard enough as it is. Having to be a positive role model when Demi is still actively on her journey of recovery is asking too much of her. She’s the sort of person who wants to be completely open about every part of her addiction and eating disorder but it just makes her feel even more ashamed and guilty when she has relapses (because recovery isn’t a uphill process, setbacks are common). I think if her recovery team really cared for her they would let her know that she should keep her process quiet from the public, even if she thinks she can handle the public scrutiny at the time she may feel differently later when she’s not feeling as strong. She really doesn’t owe the public or media anything, she should be allowed to keep it private if it’s what’s best for her recovery long term.

I was at her show in Newcastle in 2018 must have been less than a month before the overdose. You could 100% tell she wasn’t happy. She looked miserable between every song-like she was going through the motions.

I literally don’t understand why she keeps having to make these documentaries about her struggles and lowest points of her life.. unless of course, for financial profit. That’s sad, she shouldn’t have to do this

Demi is so brave. Our hearts go out to you Demi. This video and “Clover Cage - Thorn In The Side Of The King” are the only two things keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better...We are in this together...I love you...💕

I saw you in Madrid Airport before you flew to Rock In Rio, Lisbon. I slightly came to you and told you that I was flying to Lisbon as well just to see her performing! You smiled at me but, when we made eye contact, I realized that your look was sad.. I pushed a bit back because I did not want to disturb you but then I had a mix of emotions because I felt blessed to have seen you but It broke my heart seeing you like that.. Wishing you the sweetest path of life. and sm love for you

Oh my gosh. Her story about her dad is exactly how it was with my dad. I loved my dad more thank anything but he was an alcoholic and drug user and 4 years ago I had to do the hardest thing and distance myself. Last year in March my dad passed away alone. He was alone until someone found him. We don’t know the exact day he passed as well. It was always a fear of mine that he would pass alone. I totally know how she feels. It’s hard and I’m still struggling with it. Demi is amazing and strong I hope she can pull through the pain. Like I’m trying too.

Demi this literally hit me in the gut with the similarities in the way we grew up. My father was schizophrenic and a h*rion addict. He beat my mom also. We moved away from him and I stopped talking to him in 2010. He died in 2016 by his addiction. He was found in his room. I have been fighting to stay away from his path, but at 16 I was binge drinking. At 17 I had a horrible adderall addiction. I lost 78lbs in 3 months. At 18 I went back to my childhood home and started focusing on my mental health. Stay strong hun 💖 you’re not alone.

To be quite honest, I am not a huge fan of Demi's music however I have been following her story for the last few years. I am glad that she has found outlet and she is able to tell her side of the story. TMZ, tabloids and others new sources tell you what they are allowed to tell. I will never know what its like to be an addict's but I have watched some growing up and its a uphill battle. I refuse to believe that her team is doing this for "clout" I think Demi has gotten to where she knows who is supposed to be around her. I just pray that Demi is strong enough to stay up and/or and I hope that there are those around her who can help her heal.

Well wait one minute, my mother has been on crack off and on since I was a child and it was obvious she was using crack. Now I don’t know what crack Demi was using or even heroin but it definitely wasn’t the stuff the people on the streets are using turning the into Zombies.

Thank u demi for being a role model for me your the most relatable icon I follow shine bright baby cause your the best gods with u 💓.

Es increíble ver que un ser que estaba en la cima, la cual lucho tanto por tenerla se hubiese dejado llevar por aquellas emociones que le costaba dejar salir, solo deseo que te sientas en este momento feliz de seguir entre los vivos y entiendas que el futuro se forja teniendo en cuenta de donde salimos y hasta donde deseamos llegar. Un abrazo muy caluroso desde Colombia.

She should take some time away from all this, in my opinion. I don’t think u can blame the people around her because if she’s telling them something else but feeling different things, they can’t do anything. It’s not the people around her, it’s the world, the pressure of everyone.

I am so sad for her... This gives us a big lesson: just because someone is famous, rich and pretty, it doesn't mean they are not going to have problems. We think that they have everything, but the truth is that they are alone, and loneliness leads most of them to do things that are going to hurt them. She is very lucky to be still alive after all that. Others celebrities weren't that lucky. Hope she understands that if she survived this, it's for a reason. Her life isn't over yet, she still has a lot to do and say. Hope she'll start taking her health seriously, and being sober and out of drugs forever.

This hits so so hard. I'm drug addict. I was addicted to meth for almost four years and finally got clean...now I'm struggling with cocaine and alcohol. The respect I have for demi is unexplainable. Even not knowing her, I look up to her, I feel her pain. I understand the feeling of NOT wanting to do these things, but still do them for some reason...waking up the next morning thinking to yourself about how your not gonna do it tonight. Your done....then the next thing you know, your high.. Demi, your brave. And I'm so so happy for you. So happy. ❤️
