The "Life in a Year" actress also revealed that she was initially resistant to interventions from concerned friends, but she eventually acknowledged the need for support and therapy, noting: "If you're not face-first on the floor and ready to get up again, you won't. At that point, I really was."

She added, "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.'"

Recognizing the importance of consistent self-care, she checked herself into rehab.

She opened up about embracing the journey towards healing and acceptance, noting: "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."

During the conversation, Delevingne also shared her commitment to a more sustained approach to healing, embracing the 12-step program for its depth and sense of community.

She acknowledged past tendencies for quick fixes, stating: "Before, I was always into the quick fix of healing, going to a weeklong retreat or to a course for trauma, say, and that helped for a minute, but it didn't ever really get to the nitty-gritty, the deeper stuff."

At the time, the cover girl revealed she prioritizes manageable changes, focusing on self-care essentials like outdoor time, regular meals, and consistent yoga and meditation practices.

While longing for instant results is natural, Delevingne recognizes the value of gradual progress and deeper self-discovery, admitting, "It doesn't happen overnight."

She explained: "Of course I want things to be instant—I think this generation especially, we want things to happen quickly—but I've had to dig deeper."
