“It was just self-hatred, low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn’t do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore,” the actress shared at the time about cutting herself and attempting suicide at the age of 15.
“I was crazy. I was actually crazy,” she added. “I was going through a lot of, like, teen angst. And I was also dealing with my depression and my anxiety without any help.”
