Demi Lovato no longer drives as she is still suffering from the effects of brain damage as a result of her drug overdose in 2018.<\/p>\n

In the new trailer for her highly-anticipated YouTube docuseries Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil, the pop star revealed she had three strokes and a heart attack during her health emergency, which still causes her issues to this day.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters after the teaser’s premiere on Wednesday, she said, “I was left with brain damage and I still deal with the effects of that today. I don’t drive a car because of blind spots in my vision…(and) I had a lot of trouble reading.”<\/p>\n

Despite hitting rock bottom, Demi insisted she wouldn’t change a thing about her life’s journey to date.<\/p>\n

“They’re still there to remind me what could happen if I ever get into a dark place again. I’m grateful for those reminders,” she shared. “It was a painful journey, and I look back and sometimes – I get sad when I think about the pain I had to endure, but I don’t regret anything. I’m so proud of the person I am today.”<\/p>\n

The four-part docuseries marks the first time Demi has openly addressed her near-fatal overdose, and she wanted to use the opportunity to set the record straight once and for all – and to offer hope to anyone battling similar struggles.<\/p>\n

“I wanted to reveal it all for my fans and say, ‘This is who I am and this is where I am today,'” she explained. “If it helps you, then I hope that it can. That was ultimately my purpose in putting this out.”<\/p>\n

But the drug addiction and overdose aren’t the only subjects featured in the project.<\/p>\n

“I touch on so many topics in this documentary that’s not just about substances…,” she continued. “(It also addresses) past traumas that I’ve dealt with but have never spoken about.<\/p>\n

“Waking up in 2018, I realised there is still so much work I have to do on myself… It’s about self-acceptance, it’s about not conforming to what other people think you should conform to. You are who you are.”<\/p>\n

Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil will open the South by Southwest Film Festival on 16 March, and premiere on YouTube on 23 March.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
