Demi Lovato: 'Down-Time Can Be Dangerous'

Demi Lovato has revealed that being alone after the buzz of a concert can be "dangerous".

The singer opened up to BBC Radio 1 presenter Natalie Jamieson for special documentary How Young Is Too Young To Be A Popstar?, discussing specifically her battles with bipolar disorder, depression, bulimia and self-harm addiction.

When Jamieson suggested that "down-time" must be hard, the 'Skyscraper' singer agreed: "It can be dangerous. A lot of people dont really know how to deal with that time. You have this crazy high from the concert and then you come crashing down and its it can be dangerous.

"For me, I like to take a bath or get on my tour bus and hang out with my band or my dancers. I like to surround myself with people who keep me having a good time so I dont feel like I have that huge crash."

On the downward spiral she was on before finally seeking treatment in 2010, she continued: "I was suffering from different diseases. I was anorexic and then bullemic and then I was suffering from self-harm addiction. I knew that I couldnt go on with the lfiestyle that I was living and that something was gonna change.I just didnt know what it was gonna take for me to realise that.

"I knew that it would all eventually come to a stop at some point in my life, but I didnt know what my rock bottom would be and what it would take for me to get there, but unfortunately I found out."

The star's third album Unbroken charted at No. 45 in the UK earlier this month.
