Model Cara Delevingne Reveals her Struggle with Depression in Emotional Twitter Post

 

23-year-old model Cara Delevingne revealed in a series of tweets recently that she suffers from depression.

The ‘confession’ came after she released photos from her Saint Laurent campaign the day before. The ad surprised many as it had appeared that Cara had quit modelling entirely, however she quickly cleared the matter up.

Can we just set the record straight…

I never said I was quitting modeling

I suffer from depression and was a model during a particularly rough patch of self hatred

I am so lucky for the work I get to do but I used to work to try and escape and just ended up completely exhausting myself.

I am focusing on filming and trying to learn how to not pick apart my every flaw. I am really good at that
