Cara explained she had just returned home from Burning Man festival and hadn't had much sleep; 'I was not okay.'
'It’s heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun, but at some point it was like, okay, I don’t look well.'
'You know, sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way those pictures were something to be grateful for.'
“You don’t recover, and that’s okay,” @caradelevingne says. “I prefer healing.”
For Vogue’s April issue, Delevingne opens up about turning 30, the moment she realized that she was “not okay,” and why she’s taking her healing “second by second.” https://t.co/uRNqf5YZJm pic.twitter.com/sjbmB3kTgh

Later in her wide-ranging chat with Vogue, Cara said, 'From September, I just needed support.'
'I needed to start reaching out. And my old friends I’ve known since I was 13, they all came over and we started crying.'
'They looked at me and said, ‘You deserve a chance to have joy.''

Late last year, she checked herself into rehab.
She admitted, 'I hadn’t seen a therapist in three years. I just kind of pushed everyone away, which made me realize how much I was in a bad place.'
'I always thought that the work needs to be done when the times are bad, but actually the work needs to be done when they’re good.'

'The work needs to be done consistently.'
'It’s never going to be fixed or fully healed but I’m okay with that, and that’s the difference.'
