Demi Lovato Talks About her Troubled Past

X Factor judge and former teen star Demi Lovato opens up in the August 2012 edition of Self magazine where she graced the cover. She looks stunning and is basting in her new found curves

The troubled singer talks about her woes and how she felt when she had a meltdown almost two years ago on an airplane where she snapped and punched one of her dancers.  

At the time, Demi Lovato was suffering from complications from a undiagnosed bipolar disorder, an eating disorder and engaging in self-harming.

She tells Self Magazine-

"I've spent the past two years getting over an eating disorder and issues like self-harming and bipolar disorder.  Unlike a person who doesn't have these problems, I have to work on this stuff every day.  I'm reminded of that whenever I eat or feel down"

Demi Lovato even got candid about her troubled time when she became a cutter.  She explains why she felt like she had to do the self-harm -

"There were times I felt so anxious, almost like I was crawling out of my skin, that if I didn't do something physical to match the way I felt inside, I would explode.  I cut myself to take my mind off that.  I just didn't care what happened. I had no fear."

Demi also talked about her friendship with her former BFF Selena Gomez and how it's not what it used to be, she admits that although they talk once in a while, they are not in the same place they used to be-

"Selena and I aren't as close as we used to be, but she'll always have a place in my heart."
