Mischa Barton has spoken out for the first time since she was hospitalized. She claims her meltdown was the result of a “perfect storm” of emotional traumas.
Barton was placed on involuntary psychiatric hold in July after calling cops to her Hollywood home.
Barton claims a “terrible” surgery on her wisdom teeth sent her to rock bottom, just weeks before she began filming “The Beautiful Life.” Yes, sweetie, and I weight the amount listed on my driver’s license.
Because she was forbidden to take painkillers while she worked, the actress was forced to cope with the after-effects of the operation without proper medication.
“I went through a tough spot where everything compounded on me, and it was like a perfect storm, like everything was happening to me at once,” said Barton.
She said the stress led to depression and the emotional turmoil of July 16. However, she denies she suffered a mental breakdown, but admits things got “pretty bad”.
“I was down in the dumps about everything there for a while,” she said. “Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom about things and have to get the most stressed out just to feel better again. I got completely stressed out and couldn’t handle everything, and now I feel really in control.”
She denies it was a mental breakdown, but Barton admits the ordeal “was pretty bad.” Still, she claims it was also blown out of proportion.
“The funny thing is, if all this happened in New York, no one would care. New York lets you be who you are, and people aren’t as judgmental. I’m so glad to be back here.”
