The 30-year-old star’s new Apple TV+ documentary My Mind & Me gives fans a candid and powerful insight into her health battles, and she can be seen trying to come to terms with her health battle with the autoimmune disease, which left her in pain ‘everywhere’.

Like, in the morning when I wake up, I immediately start crying because it hurts, everything,’ she said during an emotional moment in the film. ‘I think my past and my mistakes, that’s what drives me into depression.’ Selena’s doctor told her the pain comes from an overlap of lupus and myositis, which has caused painful and weakening muscles. He prescribed the Only Murders In The Building star another dose of Rituxa, an intravenous drug which he said would stop her joint pain for a ‘year or so’. Selena added: ‘I just always feel better when I have answers, but the Rituxan was really hard to do last time. It’s about four hours, five hours. It’s really hard on your system at first, but it’s OK.’ Later in the documentary, the former Disney child star can be seen receiving treatment, and she explained that physicians gave her a drug to relax her because she ‘can’t stand being still’.

The star has previously hit out at people for speculating she was in rehab when she previously took a break, when it was actually for her chemo treatment. ‘That’s what my break was really about,’ she told Billboard in 2015. ‘I could’ve had a stroke… I wanted to so badly say, “You guys have no idea. I’m in chemotherapy. You’re a–holes.” ‘I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again.’
