Sophie Turner<\/a><\/strong> is opening up about the impact that fame has had on mental health.<\/p>\n

Fans first got to know the Brit as a young Sansa Stark when Game of Thrones<\/em> premiered in 2011, which shot her to fame as a young teen. However, the rise in popularity came at a price says the 23-year-old. <\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> with Dr. Phil<\/a><\/strong>on his podcast, Phil in the Blanks<\/em>, the actress is revealing that negative comments about her character on social media caused a decline in her mental health. “I would just believe it. I would say, \u2018Yeah, I am spotty. I am fat. I am a bad actress.’ I would just believe it. I would get [the costume department] to tighten my corset a lot. I just got very, very self-conscious,” she explains to the host. <\/p>\n

Eventually, these feelings of insecurity led to symptoms of depression, like the desire to isolate one’s self and a lack of motivation. She explains, “I had no motivation to do anything or go out. Even with my best friends, I wouldn’t want to see them, I wouldn’t want to go out and eat with them.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Sophie adds, “I just would cry and cry and cry over just getting changed and putting on clothes and be like, ‘I can’t do this. I can’t go outside. I have nothing that I want to do.'”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While her struggles with mental health continued, the star insists she never considered suicide to be an option, although it was something she frequently thought about. “It’s weird. I say I wasn’t very depressed when I was younger, but I used to think about suicide a lot when I was younger. I don’t know why though,” the Game of Thrones<\/em> star explains. “Maybe it’s just a weird fascination I used to have, but yeah, I used to think about it. I don’t think I ever would have gone through with it. I don’t know.”<\/p>\n

The actress eventually sought therapy and treatment, which helps to make her “feel much better.” She shares, “I’m on medication and I love myself now, or more than I used to, I think.”<\/p>\n

Moreover, the star says she is taking a break from the acting world now that the final season of Game of Thrones<\/em> is done filming. The only plans that Joe Jonas<\/a><\/strong>‘ bride-to-be has is taking this time to “focus” on what is “more important” to her: mental health. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
