    Selena Gomez has opened up about how she manages her mental health

    Revealing the small but important steps she takes to stay grounded on tougher days, the singer and actress, 33, spoke to People at the Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles, saying even on her low days, she finds comfort in allowing herself to feel her emotions.


    She said: "Some days you just have to let yourself get it out, and then afterwards, a good laugh."

    The Only Murders in the Building star attended the event - held at NYA Studios West - alongside her husband, Benny Blanco, less than five weeks after the couple were married in Santa Barbara, California.

    The benefit supports her Rare Impact Fund, which was established through her cosmetics brand Rare Beauty to help raise $100 million for youth mental health services worldwide.

    Selena said she has no single formula for maintaining balance.

    She added: "I don't know the key. I just know what works for me.

    "I like to maybe just see one friend... and talk to my therapist, and look for people that help in the situation."

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

    Selena said she was proud of what her organisation had achieved so far, saying: "I hope that we continue to raise for what we're doing all over the world."

    She added: "We are reaching two million young people a day. It is something I couldn't be more enthused about because it's something that we're actively seeing on the ground that people are working on, so it's amazing."

    Selena - who began her career as a child actor on the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place before becoming a global pop star - has spoken candidly in recent years about her struggles with anxiety, depression and lupus.

    Her 2022 Apple TV+ documentary My Mind and Me chronicled her mental health journey and her efforts to balance fame with personal wellbeing.

    In addition to her acting and music career, Selena has built Rare Beauty into one of the most successful celebrity-founded cosmetics brands.

    The company's mission places mental health advocacy at its core, with one percent of all sales directed to the Rare Impact Fund.
