Demi Lovato blocking out triggering negatives in her life
23 March 2021
Demi Lovato has blocked out negative press because mean comments about her appearance are the most likely things to trigger a relapse in her recovery.
The pop star suffered a drug overdose in 2018 and spent months in rehab, and she's desperate not to get to a place where she feels she needs to use, which means she can't take criticism right now.
"I think it was right after I got out of rehab in 2018, I saw an article somewhere that said I was morbidly obese, and that is the most triggering thing that you could possibly write about somebody with an eating disorder," Lovato told Paper magazine.
"That sucked, and I wanted to quit. I wanted to use. I wanted to give up," the Sorry not Sorry hitmaker recalled.
Explaining: "I just realised that if I don’t look at those things then they can’t affect me," Lovato said she has stopped looking at anything which sparked her feelings of low self-worth.
"I just really try not to look at anything negative," she said.
But the singer insisted her life has always been more positive than negative, adding: "I think the positives outweigh the negatives. I think that if they didn’t, I wouldn’t be doing this."
