"I think it was right after I got out of rehab in 2018. I saw an article somewhere that said I was morbidly obese, and that is the most triggering thing that you could possibly write about somebody with an eating disorder," Lovato told Paper Magazine.

She continued, "That sucked, and I wanted to quit, I wanted to use, wanted to give up. And then I just realized that if I don't look at those things then they can't affect me. So, I stopped looking and I just really try not to look at anything negative. I think the positives outweigh the negatives. I think that if they didn't, I wouldn't be doing this."

 Demi Lovato says 2018 overdose led to three strokes and heart attack

In the first episode of her new YouTube documentary, Dancing With The Devil, Demi details the events surrounding the night of her terrifying July 2018 drug overdose. Lovato reveals that she was sexually assaulted and "left for dead" by her drug dealer.

"I didn't just overdose. I was taken advantage of. When they found me, I was naked, blue. I was literally left for dead after he took advantage of me," the singer shared in her documentary Dancing With The Devil, set for release on March 23.

She continued, "When I woke up in the hospital, they asked if we had had consensual sex, there was one flash that I had of him on top of me. I saw that flash and said, 'Yes,' it wasn't until a month after the overdose that I realized, 'You weren't in any state of mind to make a consensual decision.'"

The singer confirmed that she suffered three strokes and a heart attack as a result of the overdose, and continues to encounter issues with brain impairment and vision loss. Lovato is now in recovery from her eating disorder and substance abuse issues.

"Having been in recovery from eating disorders, body image and perfectionism are not friends in my eyes, and so it's been difficult to balance. But for the most part it's just something that you have to walk through with as much grace as possible," Lovato told Paper Magazine.

Demi's new album, Dancing with the Devil... The Art of Starting Over, will be released on April 2.
