Cara Delevingne: “I’m Not In Hell Now."

The model turned actress and writer has bravely opened up about how she was dragged to hell and back as a teenager battling with depression and ADHD.

“I’m not in hell now. The things that stick with all of us the most are the darker times, the more traumatic times," she said yesterday during a TV interview.
"Those are some of the points I remember the most. I didn’t know how to communicate my emotions.
“I was very ashamed of the way I felt. I had a very privileged upbringing, I was very lucky, I went to an amazing school.”
She added: "And then the guilt of feeling that way and not being able to tell anyone because I shouldn’t feel that way and I shouldn’t feel bad. It’s the guilt."
She said that things got so bad during her formative years that she "didn't want to live anymore".
“I hated feeling depressed, I hated feeling. I was very good at disassociating from emotion completely. And all the time I was second-guessing myself, saying something and then hating myself for saying it. I didn’t understand what was happening apart from the fact that I didn’t want to be alive anymore."
“Being a teenager can feel like you’re on a rollercoaster to hell, that’s what it honestly felt like to me – but you can get through it
“Time moves on, feelings pass, it does get better.”

When you're feeling sad, the best medicine is a good giggle. Thanks Dad for putting this up...… https://t.co/mTJVOAYRx4
