Those were the days Superwoman Lilly was fighting depression and trying to find a way to express herself. The reason for her depression, well, she herself doesn’t know. To quote Superwoman’s interview with People magazine, “I didn’t have goals. I didn’t feel like eating. I was upset for absolutely no reason, I told myself, you have a choice: Either continue feeling this way or do something to change your life.” When asked how she fought depression, she says – “People ask how I got out of my depression, and I don’t know. Something in my brain just switched.”
