Demi Lovato Interview in Glamour Magazine Nov. 2016
Demi Lovato on Wilmer Valderrama: "Being Sick Was Always a Part of My Relationship With Him"
![On how her Disney roots still affect her and Nick Jonas: "PTSD. [Laughs.] We used to work so much and so hard for very little that when our schedules get too busy, I immediately think about the past. It gives me anxiety, and it's kinda like legit PTSD . . . You work so hard, and you don't really reap the rewards, or I didn't. But I was on such a platform that gave me the rest of my career — I couldn't complain. [So now] whenever our schedules start to get busy, I start getting triggered because the things I used to do to cope were unhealthy. When I have a long day, I think, if [I went back to those things], I'd be able to get through it. But we now work with our manager, and we have amazing schedules."
On her triggers: "Seeing cocaine in movies. I've never watched The Wolf of Wall Street. I can't. I don't like to go out to clubs, because I find myself seeing remnants of drugs in the bathroom. I did the Victoria's Secret Swim Special, and being surrounded by supermodels' bodies was triggering to me. I remember asking, 'How do you maintain your figure?' Some said, 'I really have to work at it.' Others said, 'It's genetics.' It was interesting to hear that it wasn't through unhealthy [behaviors]. It was a great learning experience. I still felt sexy, having a different body than these women. I had Wilmer there, who loved my curves — that helped."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/ps-image-unavailable.png "On how her Disney roots still affect her and Nick Jonas: \"PTSD.
