Last February, 38 year old star Ashley Judd endured over a month’s-long stay at a Texas treatment center to overcome serious issues she’s grappled with her entire life.

Depression, isolation and co-dependent relationships are but a few of the problems Judd underwent treatment for, she admitted to Glamour magazine.

“I was in so much pain,” she says, “I needed help.”

Help came, and now she says she’s able to take life one day a time. A quotation attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, Judd says these words allow her to take responsbility for her own feelings.

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
