Demi Lovato Rehab: “Why Couldn’t I Have Been Normal?”

Demi Lovato is out of rehab – and has changed her life for the better. The 18 year-old sat down with Ryan Seacrest to talk about her struggles, and how music keeps her going. Here’s the scoop from E! News:

“I wasn’t going to continue to be alive if I continued to treat my body the way I was,” she said. Demi entered rehab last October for help with anorexia, bulimia and cutting.

“It’s a daily journey and it’s definitely going to be a struggle that I’ll have to deal with for the rest of my life,” she admitted. “Sometimes I think, ‘Why couldn’t I have been normal?’”

“I’m not going to be perfect, but…if I can make it through the day, that’s all that matters,” she said. She actually recorded two versions of her latest single, “Skyscraper,” one when her voice was weaker, and one post-rehab. Ultimately, they decided to go with the first one. “For me it was…so symbolic,” Demi said.

We’re so happy you’re back, girl!

  3. she’s a freak

    • A freak that you would never have a chance with. Grow up.

    • Hater of "thatguy"'s says:

      I knew there was going to be some jerk-off who was going to say something moronic and infantile, though I wouldn’t have ever thought you would choose a title of “thatguy”. You are the epitome of rude, insensitive, hateful, senseless, uneducated pile of scrap tin spat out by the machine that is society. You have regressed in intelligence to the point that you can’t understand anybodies pain but your self’s. If you retort and say that it’s an unintelligent way of handling pain, let me counter respond and say that everyone deals with pain there own way. Some people eat a tub of ice-cream, some smash there hand through walls, some run until there exhausted, some watch television listlessly, others have a crying fest and/or call there loved one’s to cope. You have absolutely every right to say “she’s a freak” since it’s your opinion and probably the opinion of every psychologically uneducated persons out there, but my opinion is that each and every one of you are stereotypically labeling someone and in an extremely negative and unhelpful way while simultaneously ignoring your own subconscious or conscious unintelligent quirks.

      Since I will never read any of the replies because I don’t keep up with these random “you can say any shit you want” I just want to say that I wasted a lot of time into bashing that douche-bag and though it makes me feel lots better, I feel that he’ll be one of those stereotypical lazy fucks who won’t check back on what he’s said. It’s too bad really. He’ll be declining in intelligence until he’s a drone, “Sir, yes sir. I agree with everything you say, though I don’t understand what you’re saying. It doesn’t matter. I still agree.”

      • Im sorry, but that whole statement claiming that “thatguy” is not intelligent was rendered ignorant when you used the wrong “their” in your sentences…. Don’t try to act smart and bash somebody else by saying they’re unintelligent when you yourself fail to use proper grammar…

    • ur a freak! thats one of the reasons she tried to kill herself! u r pretty much trying to kill her! SHUT UP!!! this poor girl was tring to kill her self cuz of people like you!

    • its good that you guys are standing up for her, but he’s just a no life troll, really shouldnt pay any attention to them :3

    • your a jerk i was bullied i felt the same way to were it was almost suicidal thoughts so please dont judge untill you have a chance to be in her shoes it hurts being bulied rips your heart to shreads

  4. feeling lyk a loser says:

She is one of the most talented people in this universe. i wish her happiness and joy and love and peace for all of eternity. and to “thatguy” , stop being such a douche bag and go try to find help for your self and all because u have personal problems does not mean u can just go around adding to other people’s problems. its people like u that poison this world. u should know your words actually hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!
