"[When I'm taking it, I] tend to hold a lot of water weight, and that happens very normally. When I'm off of it, I tend to lose weight," she said in a TikTok video posted in February. "I just wanted to say and encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for exactly what they're going through, and no one knows the real story.
"I just want people to know that you're beautiful, and you're wonderful. Yeah, we have days where maybe we feel like shit, but I would rather be healthy and take care of myself. My medications are important, and I believe that they're what helps me."

Selena and Nicola – and Brooklyn Beckham – have become close in recent months, and jokingly call themselves a "throuple". But Selena is also still close friends with Taylor Swift, and celebrated Fourth of July with her long time pal this past week.

Selena shared the polaroids taken inside of Taylor's Rhode Island kitchen, revealing that they spent the day in high spirits, including, eating rocket popsicles, and enjoying a dance party as they used wooden spoons as microphones, and captioned her post: "Sometimes you need to be around empowering, kind and kick ass gals. I needed that."
