"Depression has affected me in so many ways. It's something that never goes away."

"Depression has affected me in so many ways. It's something that never goes away," said Lili. "I've experienced depression and anxiety. Not constantly, but I'm still experiencing it.

"I have spells of time where I feel completely unmotivated, I don’t want to do anything and I question myself," the actress revealed, adding, "I don’t know how to handle stress very well."

"I was having trouble going to school every day".

Before Lili shot to stardom, she struggled with social anxiety too. "I was having trouble going to school every day. I was crying before school. I would fake being sick so my mum would let me stay home."

Thankfully, the star has a way of dealing with it. "I find that talking about it and sharing my experience with other people, and reminding myself that I'm not alone has been incredibly therapeutic."

"I will take a pen to paper and write out a list of everything that I’m feeling anxious about, then when I step back and look at my list of things I’m like, 'That’s really not that much to be worried about and there’s really no need for it to be causing you this much turmoil.' That’s how I’ve learned to put things into perspective."
