Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock you\u2019ve surely seen Demi Lovato\u2019s name in the press a whole bunch over the past week following the story of her suspected overdose whilst news outlets try to jigsaw piece together just what happened from conflicting accounts and a lack of official statement from her teams. Demi Lovato has always been a role model of mine- these past few weeks have been absolutely no exception. Here\u2019s just a few of lessons we can learn from Demi Lovato and the songs your should listen to if you need a little reminder.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

Relapse happens.<\/h2>\n

And that\u2019s okay. Recovery is not a linear path. Living with mental health issues and addiction is a constant battle that you can\u2019t just wake up on day and be cured from.\u00a0 With multiple stays in rehabilitation and treatment centres, and hopefully another coming up soon, for issues from addiction to eating disorders Demi has proved more than anything that she is a fighter. It\u2019s okay to get knocked back or to hit rock bottom, the important thing is finding your way to get back up again.<\/p>\n

Listen to:<\/strong><\/em> Sober<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to ask for help.<\/h2>\n

Demi\u2019s openness about her therapy and treatments is a perfect model of how if you\u2019re struggling it\u2019s important to get help, professional help. Whether that\u2019s in the form of a 24\/7 intensive care or weekly therapy it\u2019s important to know that you shouldn\u2019t struggle alone and there are ways to feel better. It’s also so important to have a support system, Demi consistently shows her gratitude for her family, her team and her fans. Although she is strong it\u2019s important to have people to help hold you up sometimes.<\/p>\n

Listen to:<\/strong><\/em> Tell Me You Love Me<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

Strength.<\/h2>\n

Demi is undeniably strong, and she proves it time and time again. Mental health issues and addiction can be absolutely debilitating and yet, she manages to live a full life despite them. She also supports her fans inner strength, of course many of us credit Demi for inspiring us and saving our lives.<\/p>\n

Listen to:<\/strong><\/em> Skyscraper<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Sexuality<\/h2>\n

Though she hasn\u2019t publicly slapped a label ( cough, bisexuality, cough) onto it, Demi makes clear shes not straight, from her documentary showing her dating app being on men and women, lyrics like \u2018got a taste for the cherry\u2019 and statements of \u00a0\u2018I love who I love” to that<\/em> video on tour with Kehlani, Demi is far from ashamed of her sexuality.\u00a0 Although, yes, a lot of us hope for her to chuck a label on it for the sake of representation, it\u2019s up to her! It\u2019s important to remember she\u2019s a 25 year old- nobody should be pressured to come out in any kind of way.<\/p>\n

Listen to:<\/strong><\/em> Cool For The Summer<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

What\u2019s Wrong With Being Confident?<\/h2>\n

Demi\u2019s dealt with her eating disorders and body issues so openly but she\u2019s been absolutely thriving lately in loving her body- and not loving it because it\u2019s gone through any kind of weight loss transformation- loving it by being body positive at however it looks, openly posting makeup free photo shoots,\u00a0 videos of stretch marks and cellulite, and being open about her struggles. She shows that being happy and sexy is being healthy and confident.<\/p>\n

Demi Lovato is on all of our minds and in all of our hearts right now. Whilst we sit and hope that she gets the treatment that she needs let\u2019s also all look within ourselves for the lessons that we can learn from her story.<\/p>\n
