Demi Lovato has had a hard year.

Demi Lovato completed her rehab just a few months ago and the tough times just keep coming. Sources say the singer/actress and her boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama, 31, split recently and Lovato’s mom, Dianna Hart de la Garza is now headed to rehab.

“The age difference meant they were in completely different places in their lives,” a source has said.
“It has been a tough year for Demi, and her mom has been a constant source of support. But fame has also taken its toll on her family,” the source went on to say. “Now [that] Demi is strong again, her mom could take some time to deal with her own issues.”

Lovato, 18, supported her mom through rehab and she is back home with the family now. Lovato has been battling depression, bulimia and anorexia and admits that she suffers from bipolar disorder. Her mom stayed by Lovato’s side during her rehab as well, even going as far as getting mother/daughter matching ‘Stay Strong’ tattoos.

Demi Lovato is diagnosed bipolar disorder.

Actress Demi Lovato has revealed that she suffers from bipolar disorder. During a recent interview, the 18 year old said, “I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar.” Lovato underwent treatment for three months for bulimia, depression and anorexia.

“Looking back it makes sense,” she said about her diagnosis. “There were times when I was so manic, I was writing seven songs in one night and I’d be up until 5:30 in the morning. I feel like I am in control now where my whole life I wasn’t in control,” she went on to say.

Lovato Twittered her support for Catherine Zeta-Jones a few days ago when she went public with her diagnosis of the disorder. Lovato wrote, “I don’t know Catherine Zeta-Jones personally but what she has decided to do it SO brave. And SO difficult but worth it… I’m proud of her.”

.”If you are going through that dark period, go to your family and closest friends,” she said in another interview. “Don’t put yourself in danger.” She continued saying how important it is to have supportive family and friends.

Wednesday, Zeta-Jones said she hoped that going public with her disorder would help others to seek the treatment they need. “This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them,” Zeta-Jones told a source. “If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it. There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help.”

Sources say, Zeta-Jones is in Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Conn. for treatment.

Demi Lovato is leaving show biz for her singing career.

Teen star Demi Lovato is leaving her show, ‘Sonny with a Chance’ on Disney to focus on her music. Lovato said during an interview, “I don’t think going back to ‘Sonny’ would be healthy for my recovery. Being in front of a camera would make me nervous.”

Lovato was in a rehab facility late last year for “physical and emotional issues” related to her eating disorder. ‘Sonny with a Chance’ was placed on hold while the 18 year old star of the show was in rehab. She was on tour with the Jonas Brothers when she decided to get help and forced from taking herself out of the show.

“We respect Demi’s decision to focus full time on her music and not immediately return to her acting career,” the Disney Channel said in a statement. “She is a talented young woman, and our hearts are with her as she continues to take action to improve her health and bounce back from adversity.”

“It made sense for me to go ahead and leave the show to focus on my music,” Lovato said during the interview. “It’s kind of sad for me that a chapter of my life has ended, but there couldn’t be a better time for me to move on.”

Demi Lovato opens up about her eating disorder.

In November 2010, actress Demi Lovato entered a rehab facility for “emotional and physical issues”. During a recent interview, Lavato says the fight with the dancer on her tour was only a part of the problem. Lovato says the main reason for her reaching for help is that she has a eating disorder.

“I don’t think there’s going to be a day when I don’t think about food or my body, but I’m living with it, and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it,” Lovato told Seventeen magazine.

The 18 year old actress has had a very hectic career and says that she has found a balance in her life that she hopes to keep.

“There have been times when I definitely have been tempted to get rid of my dinner,” she admits. “I will deal with it for the rest of my life because it’s a life-long disease.”

“It’s very crucial that you get your feelings out – but don’t ever inflict harm on your own body because your body is so sacred,” says Lovato.

She went on to say, “If you are going through that dark period, go to your family and closest friends. Don’t put yourself in danger.”

So, maybe next time keep a secret.” At the time, it felt like a great idea, recalls Lovato: “You want to say to your fans, ‘Guess what, I’m so in love with somebody.’ You want to shout it from the rooftops.
