Johnny Depp has revealed his personal struggles with both depression and alcohol.

Depp, who has been riddled with personal and professional issues, explained how life had left him feeling “low”. Depp ended a messy divorce with his now ex-wife Amber Heard, the model and actress claiming “during the entirety of our relationship, Johnny has been verbally and physically abusive to me.”

Following the divorce, Heard filed for and obtained a temporary restraining order against Depp.

Discussing his life in a new interview with Rolling Stone, Depp said: “I was as low as I believe I could have gotten. The next step was, ‘You’re going to arrive somewhere with you eyes open and you’re going to leave there with you’re eyes closed. I couldn’t take the pain every day.”

“I poured myself vodka in the morning and started writing until the tears filled my eyes and I couldn’t see the page anymore,” Depp said, explaining how his personal diary helped up through.

He added: “I kept trying to figure out what I’d done to deserve this. I’d tried being kind to everyone. The truth is most important to me. And all this still happened.”
