The 'Anyone' singer suffered a heart attack and 3 strokes after her 2018 overdose

Demi Lovato is continuing to open up about her near-fatal 2018 overdose.

The singer, 28, recently spoke to People magazine, revealing that she "wouldn't change a thing" about how the events transpired following the overdose. 

"Everything had to happen in order for me to learn the lessons that I learned," the multihyphenate told the outlet at a Television Critics Association panel. "It was a painful journey, and I look back and sometimes I get sad when I think of the pain that I had to endure to overcome what I have, but I don't regret anything."

Lovato noted that she is "proud" of who she is today and expressed excitement for people to see her upcoming four-part YouTube documentary, "Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil."

"I wanted to reveal it all for my fans and say this is who I am and this is where I'm at today and this is the journey that got me here, and if it helps you, then I hope that it can because that was ultimately my purpose in putting this out," she continued in her interview with People.

Lovato said that she also had a hard time reading because her vision was so blurred. It took about two months, she said, for her to "read out of a book."
