Selena Gomez Releases Emotional First Trailer For Her Upcoming Documentary ‘My Mind & Me’

On October 10, Selena Gomez shared the first official trailer for her highly-anticipated upcoming documentary, Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me.

According to the Apple TV description, the clip teases a “uniquely raw and intimate documentary span[ning] her six-year journey into a new light.”

The trailer features a montage of the actress’ extreme highs and lows over the past several years, and Gomez narrates the two minutes and 27 seconds.

“Just be who you are, Selena,” she tells herself at the beginning of the teaser. “No one cares about what you’re doing. It’s about who I am, being okay with where I am.”

She emphasizes, “I am grateful to be alive.”

Various reporters’ voices remind viewers of Selena Gomez’s several diagnoses and rumors about her mental health. “Selena Gomez was diagnosed with lupus, depression and anxiety,” they say. “She had a mental breakdown.”

The pop star and fierce mental health advocate has previously publicly discussed her battle with lupus, her 2017 life-saving kidney transplant and her struggles with depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder.

“Let me make a promise: I am going to stop living like this,” Gomez vows during the trailer. “How do I learn to breathe my own breath again? My whole life, since I was a kid, I’ve been working. I don’t wanna be like, super famous, but I do know that if I’m here, I have to use that for good.”

When a friend asks Gomez what’s holding her back from doing so, the singer gets vulnerable about her insecurities. “That I’m not good enough,” she replies. “That’s something that I felt a lot of growing up.”

The Only Murders In The Building star concludes, “Clearly, I’m still here to use whatever I have to help someone else.”

The former Disney star channels her own pain into practically helping others who struggle with mental health illnesses. This year, she launched mental fitness platform “Wondermind” alongside her mother, Mandy Teefey.

She also plans to raise $100 million for mental health services over the next decade by donating some of the profits from her Rare Beauty brand to her Rare Impact Fund.

“Everything that I have gone through, it’s gonna be there,” Gomez accepts during the first look at her documentary. She decides, “I’m just making it my friend now.”

Gomez noted in her Instagram caption that she wanted to share the first trailer in honor of World Mental Health Day.

Selenators have good reason for hope by the end of the teaser. “I am happier and I’m in control of my emotions and thoughts more than I have ever been,” Gomez reveals. She adds, “I know this is the beginning for me.”

Gomez’s featured single in the documentary is available to pre-save now, and you can stream Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me via Apple TV+ on November 4.
