Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Katniss Everdeen in the upcoming "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" film, recently admitted to feeling "more in control" about her whole movie star life by taking prescription drugs for anxiety.
The Oscar-winning actress opened up to The New York Times her initial struggles upon finding fame, saying that for the past years, she felt like she was "drowning" due to her anxiety problems.
"I picture myself drowning. Outwardly, I look like I'm having a blast, and I am, at least on some levels," Lawrence said. "But inside I'm terrified. In an instant - boom - everyone's listening, everyone's looking."
According to the "Silver Linings Playbook" actress, although she felt more "in control" of her anxiety, her fears have now taken a different form.
"I know that there's no point to feeling anxious all day, so I try not to. I'm still scared, but it's about different things," Lawrence said.
"You want to know how I've changed?" she asked. "I'm so scared to say anything now. I can see every negative way that people can take it, and I don't want to sound like I'm complaining. 'Oh, she's so conceited now. Oh, she's so jaded now,'"
Jennifer Lawrence also opened up about the final days of shooting "Mockingjay Part 2."
"On the last day it was so emotional, and we kind of couldn't let go of each other. We were kind of freaked out that something was ending," she said. "And then, a week later, we were hanging out at Liam's house. We were like, 'Oh, okay, so now we can just be friends,'"
The actress also revealed that she and her co-stars had weird dreams about eachother.
"I mean, this was yesterday: Woody (Harrelson) texted me, and said he had a dream about me," she explained. "And I was like, 'Was I amazing?' And then Josh (Hutcherson) called me and told me he had a dream about Woody. And then my friend came over to my house and told me she had a sex dream about Liam (Hemsworth)."
She added: "I didn't dream about anyone, but there's always tonight."
In 2013, Lawrence revealed having mental health struggles, ever since she was a young girl, which is also the reason why she was drawn to her character "Tiffany" in "Silver Linings Playbook."
Right after winning an Oscar Award for the said role, she spoke out about the stigma that society pins on mental illness and the people that suffer from it.
