Ruby Rose confronts her demons Ruby Rose. RUBY Rose has returned to Sydney after escaping to LA to receive treatment for ongoing depression. The model and DJ, who cancelled a string of commitments last month after announcing she had relapsed into a depressive state, has thanked her friend, Aussie singer-songwriter Sia Furler, for convincing her to "get out Australia, get out of your own head." "At times I've wanted to stop living," the 27-year-old told a woman's magazine this week. I would isolate myself. I would stop calling friends, stop returning any text messages or calls. Sometimes you just need to deal with depression properly. Opening up about her tumultuous childhood, Rose has revealed she was sexually abused as a child and that she first attempted suicide at 12. "I was getting suicidal thoughts when I shouldn't have even known what suicide was at that age," she said. My past involved incestuous sexual abuse - and a turbulent home life which was not always safe. Rose said it took around 60 days to feel better and that she has become estranged from her mother Katia. The former MTV personality appeared in good spirits yesterday while out for a walk at Embarkation Park in Potts Point with a friend and her dog Daisy.
