Work Saves depression,divorce,emma thompson,fame,oscar awards From Depression
The fifty years-old Oscar winner opens up about her life and explains how she began suffering from depression.
"I think my first bout of that was when I was doing Me and My Girl, funnily enough," says Emma.
I really didn't change my clothes or answer the phone, but went into the theater every night and was cheerful and sang the Lambeth Walk," Emma goes on.
"That's what actors do. But I think that was my first bout with an actual clinical depression."
She also explains her experiences in the life including the five year period during the 90's when she starred in seven films, the nomination for five Academy Awards and the split up with her husband Kenneth Branagh. "I don't think I did stay sane, actually. It was tough. I think I probably should have sought professional help long before I actually did, for all sorts of reasons."
She says that divorce and fame, both became a painful business for her. She was getting a public property in a way that was not always comfortable.
According to Thompson, scripting the movie adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, helped her beat another period of severe depression when her first marriage broke down. Thompson had starred alongside Wise and Kate Winslet for the movie.
"The only thing I could do was write. I used to crawl from the bedroom to the computer and just sit and write, and then I was alright, because I was not present. Sense and sensibility really saved me from going under, I think, in a very nasty way," reveals Thompson.
She said acting was an escape from herself, which she is ashamed to say that she enjoys very much.
"Oh, you know, the voices in my head. The constant "must do better", "must try harder", plus "you're too fat and not really a very good mother," was her answer when she was asked about what she was escaping. "That punitive conscience is part of my psychiatric problem," discloses Emma.
