Demi Lovato on surviving drug overdose: 'I'm grateful I'm sitting here today'

After her brush with death, Demi Lovato says she's grateful to be alive.

The pop star opened up to CSB News about her 2018 drug overdose that caused her brain damage and partial blindness.

"The doctors told me that I had five to ten minutes and … like, if no one had found me, then I wouldn't be here," Lovato was quoted as saying. "And I'm grateful that I'm sitting here today."

According to CSB News' report, Lovato had woken up at the hospital the morning after her overdose "legally blind." Until now, she suffers from hearing loss, tinnitus and blind spots in her vision.

Despite this, Lovato said she "feels good."

"I feel more joy in my life than I've ever felt because [I'm not] quieting or diminishing any part of myself," she said.

"I also needed to grow up and take control," she added. "And that's something I haven't done until the past two years of my life, which is [why] I'm now in control of my finances. I'm now in control of … the food that I eat, how often I work out."

Lovato tells all in her "Dancing with the Devil" documentary, a YouTube Originals series.

Earlier, she revealed that she was raped as a virgin during her teenage years, while still a Disney Channel actress. —JCB, GMA News
