Demi Lovato has revealed that there's a lot she decided to leave out of the honest documentary about her near-fatal overdose.
The powerful four-part YouTube documentary titled Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, told how the singer and former child actress cheated death in 2018.
And although it was painful for her to revisit such a dark time in her life, Demi has revealed that there's actually more to the story she decided not to share.
Speaking to Drew Barrymore on her chat show, Demi emphasised the importance of sharing her story while establishing and maintaining firm boundaries.
"I like to say I'm an open book with boundaries," she explained.
"I do wear my heart on my sleeve but I've also learned how to protect myself from people intruding too much on the personal stuff," she added.
She went on: "It's never too late to set a boundary with the world. I learned that. I've continued to set boundaries where it seems like I've talked a lot about my life but I didn't talk about everything. That's where my boundary is."
"There's things I'll never share with the world because no one will benefit from them. And that's okay. That's for me and my treatment team."
Songstress Demi had been sober for six years when she relapsed and went onto even harder drugs that almost claimed her life.
After her overdose, the star spent two weeks recovering in hospital before returning to rehab for a number of weeks until she felt well enough to head back into the real world.
The global music sensation has been on a programme of recovery and has made quite a turnaround in the last two years for the better.
Demi's documentary - which was released on YouTube on March 23 - looks at her rise to fame as a child to her battles with mental health and sobriety.
During the candid film, Demi says that the overdose led to her suffering three strokes, a heart attack and her brain was damaged so much that she couldn't see when she first came around.
She still has blind spots in her vision and can no longer drive.
