The cover story features Selena Gomez' secret life.

In the interview inside, which will be available in the March special issue, the American singing sensation bares her heart about all things personal.

Among many revelations, she also opened up about dealing issues like depression and anxiety.

I've had a lot of issues with depression and anxiety, and I’ve been very vocal about it, but it’s not something I feel I’ll ever overcome," Gomez told Katherine Langford of Harper's Bazaar.

"There won’t be a day when I’m like, “Here I am in a pretty dress -- I won!" I think it’s a battle I’m gonna have to face for the rest of my life, and I’m okay with that because I know that I’m choosing myself over anything else.

"I’m starting my year off with that thought. I want to make sure I’m healthy. If that’s good, everything else will fall into place," she said.

Speaking about overcoming the anxiety, Gomez revealed how she felt more confident and comfortable about herself now.

"I’m way more confident than I would’ve been in the past. I’m not focused on the things that I used to be like, "Do I look old enough? Do I look sexy enough? Do I look cool enough? Am I nice enough, graceful enough?” Those sorts of things would come into my mind, but now I feel a little more liberated."

Well, kudos to you girl! Hope you continue to inspire many.
