Demi Lovato revealed to Popstar! how she copes on days when she feels down in the gutter: 'When I'm having a bad day, I read. I know it sounds totally weird because you'd think I'd write music, which I do, but sometimes music can actually make you focus more on a bad day when you're writing about it.

I will read a book and totally escape from whatever I'm dealing with. Sometimes there's been days when I've been so superdepressed that I'm just crying about something and I'll call Selena or something and they cheer me up as much as they can, but it's still kind of difficult to get happier.

So you drown yourself in a book and it takes your mind completely into that world and you don't even realize that you're being transported into someone else's life story.'
