Winona Ryder had an "extra-large breakdown"

Winona Ryder has revealed she had an "extra-large breakdown" when she was
20.
The 37-year-old actress struggled to cope when she was catapulted to
worldwide fame following the success of her hit 90s movies 'Dracula' and
'Edward Scissorhands'.
Winona - who was arrested for shoplifting in 2001 - said: "I had just done
'Dracula' and 'Edward Scissorhands'. I had just had my first real break-up,
the first heartbreak. And I think it was really ironic because everybody
else thought I had everything in the world. I had no reason to be depressed,
everything was sort of at its peak, but inside I was completely lost. I
remember feeling, 'I can't complain about anything, because I'm so lucky,
I'm so lucky...' After that I realised I needed to take time off more
regularly."
Winona - who dated Johnny Depp - also revealed she was bullied at school
because she looked like a "gay boy".
She told Elle magazine: "We only shopped at the Salvation Army, and I would
get these three-piece, 1970s little boy suits. I had really short hair and
the third day of seventh grade these kids basically jumped me in the hall
because they thought I was a gay boy, and they roughed me up. I think when
that happened, I kind of went into a movie in my head because I couldn't
deal with what was happening.' "
