In a posting on her blog, she said: “I have depression. I get it quite badly on a regular basis and kind of cry and get tired and just generally see no hope in the world. When I am very low I still will see a black veil of nothing hanging in front of me, I will still find that point of hopelessness where there is no way forward. my brain gets full and I cannot possibly understand how to empty it or what the way forward is.”
