In a candid speech at the Women In The World conference, the model-turned-actress opened up about her long battle with depression, claiming she was so low during her school years that she felt "completely suicidal and alone" and wanted "the world to swallow me up".

The London-born star shared: "I had no concept of saying no to anyone, ever.

"After a while I got sick and got a condition called psoriasis. I felt disconnected from myself, but my agency simply shoved me into a doctor's surgery, where I got cortisone shots, but - in reality - I wanted someone to stop me, but nobody did.

"I never felt like I was good enough, that I deserved success. I felt like I was living somebody else's dream. Kate Moss saved me - she stepped in and picked me up off the floor at a stressful time."

Cara, 23, subsequently turned to writing and yoga as a means of dealing with her stress.

The 'Paper Towns' actress said: "At that point I started writing and found yoga. At first I just did it superficially because I wanted to be flexible, but when I first started seeing my tutor I broke through something.



"We were both chanting and I suddenly burst into tears. I looked at him [the tutor] thinking he was a monster - an evil man - for making me cry. But he just laughed.

"See, it wasn't him at all, it was me. Now, we still practice together and I've evolved as a person."
