Cara Delevingne talks about how she sank into depression

The 30-year-old model, who is now dating singer Leah Mason, nicknamed Minke, 31, began the Covid quarantine with Ashley, a 30-year-old actress with whom she had been seeing for two years, but she became ill in her isolation “bubble” following their breakup in April 2020.

She told the April issue of Vouge in her cover interview for the magazine: “In the beginning, I was living with people in this COVID bubble in LA. We thought it was going to be a weeklong thing, and so it was fun.

“And then I was alone, really alone…it was a low point. I just had a complete existential crisis. All my sense of belonging, all my validation – my identity, everything – was so wrapped up in work.

“And when that was gone, I felt like I had no purpose. I just wasn’t worth anything without work, and that was scary.

“Instead of taking the time to really learn something new or do something new, I got very wrapped up in misery, wallowing, and partying. It was a really sad time.”

But, as things started to get back to normal, single Cara went back to her former routine of putting in long hours and spending her downtime partying.

She added about the ploy leading her to avoid tackling her mental health issues: “I’m classically good at avoiding things, I just didn’t want to deal with my issues. And those are things I’ve been running from since I was a kid.”

Cara added: “I hadn’t slept. I was not okay… it’s heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun, but at some point it was like, ‘Okay, I don’t look well.’

“You know, sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way those pictures were something to be grateful for.”
