The author of the Harry Potter books does not hide the fact that she went through a dark period before experiencing the summit of her triumph. She has never revealed these details in the past.
According to People, the 42-year-old star opened up and admitted she thought about ending her life at the beginning of the 1990s after separating from her first husband, Portuguese journalist Jorge Arantes.
Rowling stated, "We’re talking suicidal thoughts here, we’re not talking ‘I’m a little bit miserable."
Before starting to write about the young wizard, the author explained that her friends needed to pay her rent. She added that it was because of her daughter that she was able to ask for help. She did not want her daughter to see her in that state.
