Dakota Johnson opens up about her 'beautiful' struggles with depression
"I’ve learned to find it beautiful because I feel the world," she said.
Dakota Johnson is looking on the bright side of struggling with mental illness.
In an interview for the summer 2020 issue of Marie Claire, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" actress opened up about her journey with depression, which began when she was just a teen.
"I’ve struggled with depression since I was young — since I was 15 or 14," she revealed. "That was when, with the help of professionals, I was like, Oh, this is a thing I can fall into."
However, over the years, the now 30-year-old brunette has been able to focus on the positive side of her mental disorder.
"I’ve learned to find it beautiful because I feel the world," she shared. "I guess I have a lot of complexities, but they don’t pour out of me. I don’t make it anyone else’s problem."
Johnson also got candid about other emotions she had to work to control.
"I feel the most insane anxiety about our world and our planet," she admitted. "My brain moves at a million miles per minute. I have to do a lot of work to purge thoughts and emotions, and I am in a lot of therapy."
