Fans are now sharing moving stories about the impact Demi has had on their lives through the hashtag #HowDemiHasHelpedMe. From inspiring people with her lyrics, her honesty about mental health and her openness about her struggle with addiction and her journey to sobriety, people are thanking Demi for inspiring and even saving their lives.
#HowDemiHasHelpedMe when I was at the worst part of my life and I just wanted to give up completely, Demi’s speeches and music and book just kept me going and helped me be able to finally ask for help. I just recently passed 5 years clean and I credit that partially to her. ❤️

If you didn’t follow Demi in the Unbroken era, you probably haven’t seen this. She is an angel who battles her demons while holding every else up. I will always support her. I hope she can be there for herself. #PrayersForDemi #HowDemiHasHelpedMe pic.twitter.com/wVJUyQmos0

Demi sharing her story has taught me that is okay to have mental illness and how she inspired us to go forward in life no matter. Her music is so an inspiration and describes what she really feeling in her soul. She is my idol #HowDemiHasHelpedMe

She helped me ask for help. Her music has been there with me in waiting rooms before counselling, her music has been there for me in all my hospital stays. She has been there for me in my dark times and I am so grateful for her #HowDemiHasHelpedMe

i was bullied at school and i’ve always been insecure/shy. demi helped me so many times and one day i was in a really bad day, so i posted a letter saying how i was feeling about myself and she commented this. i have no words to say how much i love her. 😔❤#HowDemiHasHelpedMe pic.twitter.com/EYOp6UHjMQ

her story really changed my perspective on so many things. i was so ignorant about mental health, not only in general but also about my own, and her raw honesty opened my eyes. #HowDemiHasHelpedMe

Honestly everytime I wanted to give up on life and end it I’d put on Demi Lovato songs and it made me feel like I wasn’t alone. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be here. Because of this I got “Now I’m A Warrior” tattooed on me 💕#HowDemiHasHelpedMe

she’s my role model. diagnosed with mental illness is not easy, but she’s the one whom helped me with her story, her songs, and honest words. without her i’d be gone long time ago. she helped me how to survive and fight the monster inside me. @ddlovato #HowDemiHasHelpedMe
