“I was lying in a bed in my parents’ apartment under two blankets, in the same pajamas I’d been in for three days, and I was like, ‘This isn’t me.’ It wasn’t that I was suicidal. I felt nothing. I didn’t want to live,” she told Cosmopolitan UK.
The “Tiny Furniture” star said that the last five years “have been the happiest of my time on earth so far.” Dunham credited her sobriety to being supported and able to access resources, both “medical” and “spiritual.”“For so many people, the difference between sober and using isn’t their willingness, or their strength- it’s their resources,” she explained.”We don’t have a system that makes this easy for those who are already struggling to make their lives work.”Friendly House
