Personally, things started to get on track again as she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In a Seventeen interview, she said, “You can’t just take your mind and your body into the shop and get it fixed. It doesn’t come out repaired. It’s not like a car. It takes time—pace yourself. Every day is a new opportunity to change your life and be who you want to be.”
