Stars...They're Just Like Us. Twenty Celebrities Who've Talked About Their Mental Health Struggles
Please note that I use "struggles/struggled" because I have no way of knowing whether the people listed here have completely overcome their mental health issues or whether it's an ongoing effort. This is an ONTD Original.
Cara Delevingne
Struggles/struggled with depression.
"I hated myself for being depressed, I hated feeling depressed, I hated feeling. I was very good at disassociating from emotion completely. And all the time I was second-guessing myself, saying something and then hating myself for saying it. I didn't understand what was happening apart from the fact that I didn't want to be alive anymore."
Dwayne Johnson
Struggles/struggled with depression.
"The struggle and pain is real. I was devastated and depressed. I reached a point where I didn't want to do a thing or go anywhere. I was crying constantly. (...) We all go thru the sludge/sh-- and depression never discriminates. Took me a long time to realize it but the key is to not be afraid to open up."

I had a miscarriage in april and I've been dealing with being burned out since then. I've dealt with depression for over 25 years so that doesn't help. This month would have been the month that I was going to give birth had everything gone right. Also my new job is not working out. At all. And there isn't much I can do about it.
This december month is going to suck ultra hard. Having a kitty to take care of helps me more than I could put into words. I have to get out of bed and feed her, clean her litterbox and give her cuddles.
But I do feel like everything failed or is failing.
