Sophie Turner has been a part of Game of Thrones since she was 13 years old. She’s come a long way since then, and she married Joe Jonas in a joyous ceremony in Las Vegas only a few weeks ago.

Sophie and Joe Jonas’ relationship has gotten a lot of press as they prove they are #couplegoals.

Turner said in an interview with the Sunday Times that becoming famous at such a young age left her feeling “mentally unwell,” and that Jonas was a significant part of why things improved for her.

‘I was going through this phase of being very mentally unwell,’ Sophie revealed of when she first met Joe. ‘He was, like, “I can’t be with you until you love yourself, I can’t see you love me more than you love yourself.” That was something, him doing that. I think he kind of saved my life, in a way.’

Turner said of growing up on Game of Thrones, “Having your adolescence displayed in public, that’s something I really wish hadn’t happened. Being in the age of social media when that’s happening, I think I would be a much saner person if I hadn’t been documented from 13 — your most awkward, uncomfortable, unsure-of-yourself years.”

Turner revealed on Dr. Phil’s podcast, Phil in the Blanks, in April that negative comments about her character on social media had contributed to a decline in her mental health after “five or six years” of battling depression, and that “I used to think about suicide a lot when I was younger.”

In recent months, she has spoken to the public about her struggles with depression and an eating disorder. In a recent interview, she opens up about her struggles once again, revealing that she once shed so much weight that her periods stopped.

She told the New York Times that she needed to start going to therapy when she was 19 to deal with everything on her mind. Her main issue, she admitted, was her body image.

“Suddenly, everyone’s metabolism slows down at 17, 18 and then that’s documented,” she said. “My skin and everything. People commenting on it. I was too aware of my body at a young age. And it just kind of took over my mind, it was all I would think about. Calorie counting, everything. Oh, I’ll just eat nuts today.” Her dietary restrictions began to affect her body as well: “I stopped having my period for a year — that’s when I decided to have therapy.”

It is because of her deep bond with Joe that she is thriving and gaining confidence in herself. ‘When someone tells you they love you every day, it makes you really think about why that is, and I think that makes you love yourself a bit more. So yeah, I love myself,’ she said in an interview with Marie Claire Australia this month.

The actress also disclosed that the pair had once had a one-day breakup.

She told the New York Times, “It was the worst day of our lives. For a second we both had cold feet, then 24 hours later we were both, like, ‘Never mind.’ ”

“I have experienced mental illness firsthand and I’ve seen what it came do to the people around [the sufferers] as well,” Turner told Marie Claire Australia in remarks published earlier this month. Turner also talked about how her figure changed as she got older and how she was pressured to reduce weight by film and television studios.

She stated that she sought treatment and noted, “Everyone needs a therapist, especially when people are constantly telling you you’re not good enough and you don’t look good enough. I think it’s necessary to have someone to talk to, and to help you through that.”

Turner recently spoke with Dr. Phil McGraw about her sadness and the body-shaming remarks she received.

In April, she said, “You see ten great comments and you ignore them, but one negative comment throws you off. People used to write, ‘Damn, Sansa gained 10 lbs.,’ or ‘Sansa needs to lose 10 lbs.’ It was just a lot of weight comments. Or I would have spotty skin because I was a teenager and that’s normal, but I used to get a lot of comments about my skin and my weight and how I wasn’t a good actress.”

Turner said in the interview that therapy, as well as her new marriage, had helped her.

“I feel much better. I’ve been doing therapy at CAST centers, actually. I’m on medication,” she said. “I love myself now, or more than I used to, I think. I don’t think I loved myself at all. But I’m now with someone that makes me realize that I do have some redeeming qualities, I suppose. When someone tells you they love you every day, it makes you really think about why that is and I think it makes you love yourself a bit more. So yeah, I love myself.”

In a March interview with Glamour U.K., the actress expressed a similar stance.

“A lot of [my happiness now] is to do with being with a person I’ve fallen in love with, who loves me more than he loves himself, and who wants to see me find my own happiness,” she said of Jonas.
