The BBC reports that J.K. Rowling told an Edinburgh University student magazine that she once contemplated suicide before writing Harry Potter.She says it occured in the early 1990s, after separation from her first husband, Portuguese journalist Jorge Arantes.
“We’re talking suicidal thoughts here, we’re not talking ‘I’m a little bit miserable,’ ” Rowling told student Adeel Amini
“Mid-twenties life circumstances were poor and I really plummeted. The thing that made me go for help was probably my daughter …
“She was something that earthed me, grounded me, and I thought, this isn’t right, this can’t be right, she cannot grow up with me in this state.”
“The funny thing is, I have never been remotely ashamed of having been depressed. Never … I think I’m abnormally shameless on that account because what’s to be ashamed of?”
