Miranda Kerr Opens Up About Depression Following Orlando Bloom Split
"I never understood the depth of that feeling."
Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom separated in 2013, and now seem pretty happy in new relationships. That said, their breakup took a toll on Kerr, who says she struggled with depression in the aftermath.
"When Orlando and I separated, I actually fell into a bad depression," she tells Elle Canada. "I never understood the depth of that feeling or the reality of that because I was naturally a very happy person."
Kerr started meditating, doing yoga, watching her diet, and using aromatherapy to battle her symptoms, which appears to have made a huge difference in her mental well-being. "When I wake up and when I go to bed, I have that attitude of gratitude, and I say, 'Thank you for this beautiful day, for this roof over my head, for the fact that I have my health, and my son has his health, and thank you for our family,'" she says. "What I have found is that everything you need, all of the answers are deep inside of you. Sit with yourself, take a few breaths and get close to your spirit."
Kerr is currently engaged to Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel, about whom she has this amazing musing:
Preach, Miranda Kerr.
