Here's 11 stars who fought their demons and won to take back control of their own lives.

Jade Thirlwall: Anorexia

Jade from struggled with anorexia as a teenager and it took a shock wake-up call to help her take back control over her eating disorder.

She wrote about her experiences at 13 in Little Mix's book, Our World, which was released in 2016, saying her problems were due to bullying and problems at home.

"They sat me down in the clinic and were quite tough at first, spelling it out, 'You're destroying your body and if you keep doing this you will die.'"

She says therapy sessions and regular hospital visits helped her beat the disease.

Adele Roberts: Diet and exercise

Radio 1's Adele Roberts embarked on a gruelling 30 day challenge in 2016 to improve her health and fitness.

Adele admitted when she was younger she tried fad diets, but online how it changed her relationship with food entirely.

"Looking back I think food was a comfort thing for me," she said.

"I would feel sad or emotional and my first go-to was eating. Now I’ve replaced it with going to the gym.

"People always said that it could make me feel good but I had never got to that point with the gym. But just being in your own space, listening to your music is really calming."

Emma Stone: Anxiety

La La Land star Emma Stone took practical steps to tackle her anxiety issues, writing her own self-help book and visualising the demons that were troubling her.

"I wrote this book called I Am Bigger Than My Anxiety that I still have: I drew a little green monster on my shoulder that speaks to me in my ear and tells me all these things that aren't true,"

"Every time I listen to it, it grows bigger. If I listen to it enough, it crushes me.

"But if I turn my head and keep doing what I'm doing – let it speak to me, but don't give it the credit it needs – then it shrinks down and fades away."

She also told the magazine that by throwing herself into her acting career she also learned to focus more on a world of make believe instead of problems in the real one.

Olly Alexander: Depression

Olly Alexander from has spoken openly about his own struggles with mental health and he told Radio 1 that the only way to start taking back control if you're struggling is to talk about your problems with others.

"We all know what it’s like living in the modern world with social media and with friendship groups," Olly said on a previous episode of The Surgery.

"There’s a lot of stigma attached to saying you’re not feeling as great as you should be whether it’s in a workplace environment or in a school.

"Celebrities don’t ever want to tell anyone how to live their life, but the more we can share our experiences, the more we can help each other out."

Lena Dunham: Depression

Girls star Lena Dunham also encourages telling others about mental health issues as the first step to taking back control.

that sufferers need to "raise awareness" of their own issues and suggests that social media could help people struggling find support.

"Tweet, write about it, talk about it—don’t hide with it," she says.

Daniel Radcliffe: Alcohol

Daniel Radcliffe struggled with alcohol problems while he was still filming the Harry Potter movies.

He says never expected to turn to exercise to help him exorcise his demons but he says working out helped him take back control.

"Like the cliché of anybody who is quitting something, I really got into exercise,"

"In fact these are the first two days I haven’t trained twice a day for the last two weeks, so I’m slightly having a moment of, oh man’."

Kendall Jenner: Anxiety

Kendall Jenner is young, successful and beautiful, but even she suffers from anxiety.

"I once had a really bad attack on a plane and just had to ride it out,"

"I felt my heart beating a million miles an hour and I even went a little numb."

Kendall says she tackles her anxiety by telling herself that the problem is all in her head and focusing on other things.

"I've learned that it's all mental, so I try to prevent anxiety attacks by bringing my mind somewhere else," she says.

Lauren Mayberry: An abusive relationship

frontwoman Lauren revealed in 2016 that she had once been in an abusive relationship.

She wrote in Lena Dunham's Lenny magazine that she felt the relationship changed slowly and that she eventually found the strength to leave the relationship and speak about what she had experienced.

"I thought I couldn’t be a victim because I am a strong, shrewd person, but there is no typical victim," she wrote.

"I know that the boundaries I create deserve to be respected. That self-care is not the same as selfishness. That this is my life, my voice, my body, my rules, and that no one gets to determine my narrative apart from me."

Cara Delevingne: Depression

Cara Delevingne confessed to suffering from depression on Twitter and says her work in the fashion industry made things especially difficult.

She says she took back control by focusing on her work being a little less harsh on herself.

Dan Smith, Bastille: Anxiety

Dan from is a sufferer of anxiety and says the pressures of being in a successful band can leave him struggling.

But that the support of his bandmates has helped him take back control over his issues.

"Me and Kyle [Simmons, keyboard player] have always been more nervous than Woody and Will," he says.

"I think it's important if you're in a band to have a good support network and people that try to understand."

And having a good support network is important for anyone, not just for musicians and pop stars.

Kesha: Bulimia

says she suffered from bulimia because she wrongly believed being skinny was part of her job as a pop star and musician.

She was admitted to rehab and started therapy which she said left her "terrified" at first but which helped her on the road to recovery and to take back control of her life.

I feel stronger now," wrote Kesha in a 2014 article

"Strong enough to admit that I needed help and strong enough to have faced it head on.

"Even I need to be reminded that we are who we are."

Lady Gaga: Money troubles

is one of the biggest pop stars in the world but at the height of her fame she admits she lost control of her money and went bankrupt during her Monsters Ball tour between 2009 and 2011.

"I put everything into the show and I actually went bankrupt after the first extension of the tour," Gaga told The Financial Times in 2011.

"And it was funny because I didn't know."

"I called everyone and said: 'Why is everyone saying I have no money? This is ridiculous. I have five number-one singles'. And they said: 'Well, you're $3 million (£1.8 million) in debt'."

But Gaga's faith eventually paid off. She had spent her own money on the tour because of her belief in herself and eventually made back much more than she invested.
