Lindsey Morgan really opened up about her struggles with depression in Style Verify‘s new issue.
The 100 actress got in depth about how her anxiety attributed to a deep depression and even led to her quitting acting — but it wasn’t for long.
“I remember I had a low point when I was working on a soap opera, General Hospital, five years ago,” Lindsey recalls. “It was my first real job, and it was so overwhelming. You would work five days a week and have to learn sometimes up to 30 pages of new dialogue a night, then have one take to shoot it all, THE NEXT DAY.”
“It was like performing a new play each DAY, with high emotional stakes and situations. I was playing a character that was very far from who I am as a person. So, it was always more work to understand her and justify her, but I had also replaced an actress, so I was receiving so much internet hate and scrutiny from fans who loved the girl who played her before me.”
The pressure of the job, plus the online haters didn’t do much to help the situation at all.
“I never told anyone how unhappy I was because I was also grateful I had a job versus so many people that didn’t,” Lindsey adds. “I did not think I was allowed to be miserable, but I was overworked, sleep-deprived and just lost.”
