It happened at Burning Man

It was in September 2022 when erratic photos of Cara Delevingne at the 'Burning Man' music festival went around the world, worried her entourage, and marked a turning point in her life.

Hitting bottom

"I was not okay," Cara Delevingne confesses to 'Vogue'. After years of excesses with drinks and substances, the model and actress recognizes that she had to hit rock bottom to start her recovery. Seeing herself in that state was the click she needed in her mentality.

Acknowledgement and rehabilitation

"That’s the problem. If you’re not face-first on the floor and ready to get up again," says Cara Delevingne. The next thing was to put herself in the hands of professionals and go through rehab.

Risking her life

The model acknowledges that "there’s an element of feeling invincible when I’m on drugs, I put myself in danger in those moments because I don’t care about my life. It’s a scary thing to the people around you who love you."

Tough stories about childhood

In a hard-hitting and candid interview, Cara Delevingne admits that the first time she started drinking she was 7 years old. It was at a wedding and she had glass after glass of champagne. "I woke up in my granny’s house in my bedroom with a hangover, in a bridesmaid’s dress."

Derived ailments

Over the years, Cara Delevingne began to suffer from insomnia, dyspraxia (a psychomotor disorder that complicates the performance of simple movements), and what she calls "inadvertent self-harm."

An even more complicated adolescence

And if that wasn't bad enough, at age 15 she had a breakdown with a massive wave of depression and anxiety for which she had to be medicated. "I was on medication and it just...it saved my life," she told Vogue.

Everything is changing (for the better)

Time has passed, and Cara Delevingne has found the strength to change her life and overcome traumas and addictions, according to 'The Hollywood Reporter.'

12-Step Program

The actress has done the famous '12 Step Program,' leads a healthy lifestyle, has three meals a day, and does sports, meditation, and group therapy. And she has been sober since the end of 2022. The new version of Cara Delevingne aims for health above all else.

What was wrong with Cara?

In 2022, friends of Cara Delevingne expressed their concerns about the actress/model, as she seemed to be going through a rough patch. After a long absence from the spotlight, Delevingne reappeared at a Paris airport on September 27, 2022. She was incognito and didn't look as glamorous as she used to.

'Mental health issues'

Sources close to Delevingne told TMZ that she has been dealing with mental health problems for some time.

...and addictions

These same sources reportedly showed a growing concern about the model's substance abuse.

They told her to go into rehab

The situation was so delicate, TMZ reported, that Cara Delevingne's friends were convinced that she needed rehab.

A worrying video from LA

Alarm bells went off after the publication of some shocking photos and a video of the model at the Van Nuys airport in Los Angeles.

The video went viral

The images went viral because of the star's erratic and strange behavior. She also had a rather deteriorated appearance.

Erratic behavior

Before the images at the airport, Cara Delevingne had already worried her fans and friends with certain strange interactions and absences from important events.

Margot broke down crying

The Daily Mail US had shared photos of actress Margot Robbie leaving Cara Delevingne's house crying. She had just visited her friend. The two are so close that they even spent part of the summer together in Formentera, Spain.

Supporting in the worst moments

According to TMZ, Margot Robbie was one of the friends who was trying her hardest to get Cara Delevingne into therapy and a rehab center as soon as possible.

Difficult to make the first step into rehab

TMZ reported that the British model kept procrastinating on the matter and was not ready to take the first step for most of 2022.

She was supposed to be in New York but...

On the day that Margot Robbie went to Cara Delevingne's house, the model was supposed to be at the New York Fashion Week.

Missed out on an important event

On that day, Cara Delevingne was scheduled to present her new clothing collection, designed as a tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld. But she never made it to the Big Apple.

She wasn't at the Emmys either

Cara Delevingne was also absent at the Emmy Awards gala, which she was scheduled to attend as part of the cast of the series 'Only Murders in the Building.'

Only Murders in the Building: one of the favorites

In fact, the Disney Plus series was one of the favorites for an award, with six nominations including Best Comedy. (It ended up nearly empty-handed, although Nathan Lane got an award for Best Guest Actor.)

Poppy, her worried sister

Poppy Delevingne, Cara's sister, moved from London to Los Angeles to be closer to her sister in these hard times, The Daily Mail UK reported.

Massive media support

On social media, there has been massive support for the English star. She has nearly 43 million followers on Instagram.

Messages on social media

Fans, friends, and colleagues sent her messages of affection and support. The natural charisma of the actress and model has captivated millions over the last decade.

Her sudden reappearance in Paris

And then, suddenly, Cara Delevingne reappeared at a fashion event, looking radiant. She looked happy and healthy at the Paris Fashion Week on September 27, 2022.

'Cara Loves Karl Paris' event

Delevingne showed off her beautiful smile on the red carpet at the 'Cara Loves Karl Paris' party. It was the celebration of the launch of her clothing collection in honor of the late designer Karl Lagerfeld.

The show must go on

In 2023, after the Fashion Weeks were long past and it had been quiet around the star, she reappeared and said she felt much better. Cara Delevingne has clearly followed a known adagio of Hollywood: the show must go on.
