Ruby Rose discussed her depression struggle before hitting it big in Orange is the New Black. Over the weekend, the beauty was honored at the GLAAD Media Awards and and discussed revealing her depression after a fan brought up an old Instagram post where Ruby admitted losing her battle with depression. “It was a real spinout when I got sent that, and it was something I had posted three years ago, you know, when I was really really depressed and I didn’t think that I could live another day or want to live another day, let alone live my dream,” Ruby told E! News.
She continued, “So, my message was really just that, to really reflect on how many people in the world right now feel like they don’t want to go on another day, or they can’t go on another day, and they’re just seconds or minutes or days away from reaching their full potential and blossoming and being free and happy,” she explained. “I just thought that’s got to be millions of people and that’s just my message. Just hang in there, like one day at a time, and it does get better. I know that’s cliché, but it just does.”
Taylor Swift surprised the crowd when she handed Ruby her the The Stephen F. Kolzak Award, “Tonight I’m here to honor someone who, through her words and through her actions, proves that she is a force of nature. She tells the world that no one can judge us and no one can stop us. She is a woman of many talents. She is my friend.”
