Selena Gomez goes on a social media detox again

Singer-actor Selena Gomez has decided to take some time off from social media so that she can ''live her life.''

The 26-year-old former Disney star recently returned to Instagram after a brief break from the app but has decided to step back again.

Selena opened up about her battles with anxiety and depression. The pop star went live on her Instagram this weekend to talk to her fans about the struggles she faces because of her anxiety and depression. "I feel like I've been private so much because I'm so terrified of what these magazines are going to say about me," she shared.

Her video chat with fans came just before the star announced on Instagram she is "taking a social media break. Again."

"Mood laugh out loud (I was looking at myself in the mirror -like an idiot) update: taking a social media break. Again. As much as I am grateful for the voice that social media gives each of us, I am equally grateful to be able to step back and live my life present to the moment I have been given.

"Kindness and encouragement only for a bit! Just remember- negative comments can hurt anybody's feelings" she wrote alongside a picture of herself.
