Billie Piper felt her life was over by the time she turned 18.
The singer-turned-actress - who enjoyed pop success as a teenager with
'Because We Want To' - says being a "vain" washed-up pop star proved almost
too much to live with.
She told Stella magazine: "I used to cry myself to sleep every night -
crying about the mess I'd made of my life. I also realised that I'd become
what I most despised. I was vain and controlling and I had this terrible
eating disorder. It all made me feel like s**t.
"I couldn't take care of myself."
Billie says she constantly battled with self-confidence and never felt good
enough to achieve chart success.
She revealed: "I was a jumped-up young girl, full of neuroses and a bit mad.
And all the time I had these voices of self-doubt niggling away in my head
telling me that I couldn't hack it, that I didn't have the voice of Mariah
Carey and that I had no business pretending to be a musician."
Billie admits she has only recently built up her self-esteem.
She said: "For a long time I felt like I was a pawn in other people's games,
everything was plotted out for me and basically I just did what I was told.
"It's only recently that I've stopped feeling like a complete charlatan and
sorted myself out and found my self-esteem again."
