‘I just thought I’d film the rest of it as me getting upset. I just want you guys to know that Instagram isn’t reality. We all have emotions and not everyone posts them.
‘As someone in the public eye, I just want to let you know I am not a superhuman, I am just a human. I have feelings too.
‘I love you guys so much, I just hope that me being like this and being open can inspire you. Hopefully you can relate. Just so you know, it’s OK not to be OK.’

Healing: Demi revealed that her ‘beautiful’ Zoom session with her ‘beautiful’ friends had helped her
She previously said: ‘I find this time is really healing. I’ve never had the chance to sit here, not be able to move. I kind of sweep it under the carpet and get on with it. I’ve had time to think about things I haven’t really got over, I’ve never really grieved.
‘I’m trying to think about the positives with this time. If you’re feeling a lot, you’re trapped in your home, trapped with your thoughts, try and think about it like you need to feel this way, get over it to be better.’
