Could Selena Gomez be considering an early exit from rehab?

According to a new report, 24-year-old Selena Gomez, who has faced rumors regarding her alleged visitors in rehab, has been feeling “like hell” at the facility where she is currently treating symptoms of lupus.

Selena Gomez “is really feeling like hell inside her rehab,” Headlines & Global News revealed to readers this week, adding that her ill feelings about treatment have led her to consider leaving the facility or heading to an outpatient center.

In Touch Weekly also spoke of Selena Gomez’s rehab struggles, claiming her desire to leave the facility has left her friends and family concerned for her health. The magazine’s source also hinted that Selena Gomez’s condition was actually far worse than anyone realized.

Selena Gomez first announced she would be taking a break in a statement to People Magazine. At the time, the singer was in the midst of her “Revival World Tour.”

“As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways,” Selena Gomez told the magazine in a statement. “I’ve discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges.”

Selena Gomez was diagnosed with lupus years ago and while she claimed her mental illness concerns were the result of the disease, rumors quickly swirled in regard to Justin Bieber’s involvement and possible drug use. Still, the singer insisted that her struggles were prompted by her illness and revealed she would be taking the steps necessary to move forward and get to a healthier place.

“I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off,” she continued, not clarifying how long her career hiatus would be. “Thank you to all my fans for your support. You know how special you are to me, but I need to face this head on to ensure I am doing everything possible to be my best. I know I am not alone by sharing this, I hope others will be encouraged to address their own issues.”

As for the rumors of a possible drug addiction, Selena Gomez had nothing to say but in a statement to the magazine, a source claimed the singer was absolutely not suffering from an addiction to drugs or alcohol and said she had simply not been feeling like herself.

Weeks later, an Us Weekly source confirmed Selena Gomez was treating her symptoms just outside of Nashville, Tennessee, at a “private and quiet” rehabilitation center that was also described as “super intense.”

“[Selena Gomez] is dealing with lupus, but this break is to focus on her mental health,” a source close to the pop star told the magazine. “She can go to a very dark place.”

Since admitting herself into the facility, Selena Gomez has been spotted in the area numerous times. In early October, Selena Gomez was photographed at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Alcoa, Tennessee, where she was reportedly enjoying a meal with her mother, Mandy, and stepfather, Brian. During her outing, Selena Gomez posed for photos and videos with her fans and the staff of the restaurant. Then, the following day, Selena Gomez was seen out for breakfast with her parents.
