This Is Why Demi Lovato Cut Herself

Demi Lovato has been very forthcoming when talking about why she went to rehab — “emotional and physical issues” — but has been evasive about discussing her cutting problems. She finally opens up about it to Self magazine (via PEOPLE).

“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.”

In addition to cutting, Demi Lovato also had an eating disorder and is bipolar. So if you were wondering how Wilmer Valderrama managed to hook up with her, there’s your answer.
