Anne Hathaway's depression confession
Feb 7, 2007, 8:00 GMT
Anne Hathaway suffered from anxiety and depression as a teenager.
'The Devil Wears Prada' actress was crippled by the conditions but refused to take medication and battled through her dark times with sheer will power.
Anne told People magazine: "I said to my mom the other day, 'Do you remember that girl? She has now gone now, gone to sleep. She has said her piece and she is gone. But then I thought, 'I so remember her but she is no longer part of me.' I just got through it.”
Anne, 24, regrets spending so much time obsessing about herself and would never allow herself to become self-obsessed again.
She explained: "I am sorry she was hurting for so long. It's all so negatively narcissistic to be so consumed with one's self."
In her new movie, 'Becoming Jane', Anne portrays celebrated British author Jane Austen.
Surprisingly, the actress almost turned down the role before meeting British actress Emma Thompson - who starred in the 1995 film adaptation of Austen's novel 'Sense and Sensibility'.
Anne admits she was too scared to tell her idol that she was going to snub the chance to play the acclaimed writer.
She said: "I was having doubts, but then I met Emma, who asked me what I was doing. I couldn't tell her I was not going to play Jane Austen. So I just did it."

HI
Here is the remady for Depression
TREAT YOUR DEPRESSION LIKE A 'GIFTED TOY' FROM THE ALMIGHTY.
A GIFTD TOY (tame the monster within)
I was rushing down the road
Singing jumping all along in a joyous mood.
On a sharp corner, foggy day and far away
I bumped in to a monster blocking my way.
I was knocked down, bleeding on the roadside
The monster was laughing loud and wide
I lay there for the days unknown
Woke up to see the rainy afternoon
There were rains, lighting and thunder storms
I have to lay there, for the reason unknown
Rain stopped and rainbow sighted
Birds seen flying, singing and delighted.
There was joy in all woods around,
But I was scared, looking at the monster around
Few boys came around, I did not say anything but
They lifted me up and took me to a hut.
I met my GURUJI, whom I know as a mentor
He gave me food, medicine and shelter.
He taught me the ways and means
How to live happily once again.
“Still I am scared GURUJI , once I screamed
I always see a monster in my dream”
“Why do you think so”, said GURUJI,” “monster blocking you?”
“I t is now inside you and you only are blocking your way”
“Learn the ways and art of life,
Take the monster in your stride”
“Make it your best friend, O my boy,
It is a blessing in disguise and a GIFTED TOY’.
love you
A.J.DAVE
