Selena Gomez has shared an emotional first look at the upcoming documentary about her life, My Mind and Me.

The film is set to follow the pop superstar, 30, over the past six years of her life with a focus on her mental health journey amid her rise to stardom.

The former Disney star posted an official teaser of the documentary to her Instagram and it’s an emotional rollercoaster.

‘My Mind & Me. We don’t get along sometimes and it gets hard to breathe… But I wouldn’t change my life’ she wrote.

The trailer shows brief snippets of the star’s life, including scenes of her performing and spending time with family and friends, as well as crying in some of her darker moments.

The words ‘every breath’ and ‘a breakthrough’ appear over the footage as poignant music plays in the background, and the footage fades to black before revealing the title of the film.

The documentary is directed by Alek Keshishian, who also directed the critically acclaimed documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare.

The film is the second collaboration between AppleTV, Lighthouse Management Media, and Interscope films after the release of the Emmy-nominated documentary Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry.

The official synopsis for the documentary reads: ‘After years in the limelight, Selena Gomez achieves unimaginable stardom. But just as she reaches a new peak, an unexpected turn pulls her into darkness.

‘This uniquely raw and intimate documentary spans her six-year journey into a new light.’

As a recording artist, Selena has sold more than 210 million singles worldwide and amassed over 45 billion global streams of her music.

She has also starred in various movies and TV shows, including Ramona and Beezus and Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place in which she became a breakout star.

In recent years she starred alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short in the hit Hulu series Only Murders In The Building, for which she received an Emmy nomination at this year’s awards.

The star has been open about her mental health struggles, previously revealing she felt ‘a huge weight’ lifted after she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

The singer and actress told Elle magazine she had faced a ‘struggle’ with depression and anxiety before being diagnosed with bipolar in 2019.

‘My lupus, my kidney transplant, chemotherapy, having a mental illness, going through very public heartbreaks – these were all things that honestly should have taken me down,’ she told the magazine.

‘Every time I went through something, I was like, ‘What else? What else am I going to have to deal with?’

The star said that deciding to help others is ‘really what kept me going.’

She explained: ‘There could have been a time when I wasn’t strong enough, and would have done something to hurt myself.’

Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me is set to be released on Apple TV+ on November 4.
