Harry Styles' family heartache has been revealed as his older sister Gemma opens up about her severe depression battle. The popstar's sister Gemma has opened up about experiencing suicidal thoughts and being diagnosed with depression. She works as a writer and podcaster and says she felt "hollow and unworthy" and is now sharing her story in her book Why Am I Like This? Gemma said: "One of the things shown to have the most positive impact on people having suicidal thoughts or in the depths of depression is to share stories when you go 'that happened to me.
I felt like that, and I feel better now'. I didn't actively want to die but I so badly wanted to opt out of what my life had become it boiled down to the same longing." Gemma gave birth to her daughter earlier this year with her partner Michal Miynowski and despite feeling well now, she is worried that her depression could return.
She said: "In the back of my mind, sometimes I think that could happen to me again but I try not to dwell on it. I have come though it before and I could do it again." Gemma has said in the past that her famous brother Harry has been there to support her through her depression.
She also revealed that he is a hands on uncle despite being here, there and everywhere with his job. In an interview with The Sunday Times Gemma explained that her brother is always there to give her a "pep talk" when she needs it. She also thanked their mum Anne Twist for her support and "endless wisdom".
She explained that.
