Here is what an Australian Magazine wrote about a "Supermodel's Sad Burnout"............ Everything on this page is quoted. " It's late at night in a west London restaurant and in a dark corner a young woman is confiding her problems to a group of friends. She looks tired and distressed. Half an hour later she slips away, a fragile figure dressed in black with a floppy hat hiding her famed good looks. The nest day, she checks in to the exclusive and expensive Priory Clinic - under a false name - to be treated for nervous exhaustion." "A month earlier, she had been confidently striding down a Milan catwalk, dressed in Verscae and wowing the audience with shocking pink hair. Fashion experts noticed her skin wasn't quite as glowing as usual or her smile quite as radiant, but few would have predicted that, within weeks, supermodel Kate Moss would have reached the end of her tether." " 'I wasnt happy with the way my life was going,' says Kate from the clinic. 'I decided to step back and assess my life and future. I've been doing alot of hardwork and too much partying.'" "The supermodel admits to having a 'bit of a problem' with alcohol but denies shes seeking help for drug use. The official line is that Kate is getting over a hectic few weeks of working hard and playing hard. But the truth may be much darker." "At only 24, after having experienced more than many people do in a lifetime, Kate Moss has reached a turning point. With modelling losing its allure and an unhappy lovelife she is facing an uncertain future. 'Kate is totally stung out' says a friend. 'She feels that for the past 10 years her feet haven't touched the ground.' 'She talked alot about how everybody thinks she has the perfect life, but sometimes all she wants is the normal things - nights in front of the TV, walking out into the street unnoticed, and having somebody there for her when she needs them.' "Behind the scenes of her glamorous career though, all was not well. Kate had always harboured a dream of marriage and children. But Johnny was capricious and, at times, police had to be called to curb his notorious temper - he once trashed a New York hotel room with a terrified Kate inside." "The couple split last year, with Kate left heartbroken. But in April she appeared at the Cannes Film Festival on Johnny's arm. Rumours of a reconciliation, however were swiftly dispelled when Johnny confirmed that the two of them were not together anymore. 'I didn't give her the attention I should have done,' she said only last week." "Kate recently told friends she'd never been able to get over this relationship and many think it explains her manic partying. Sarah Doukas, now one of Kate's closest friends, describes her as 'incredibly down to earth, incredibly normal and an incredibly sweet-natured girl,' who has remained relatively untouched by her fame.' "Yet Kate herself admits to experimenting with drugs and is also the first to say she uses alcohol to relieve stress. As a close friend reveals, the combination of failed relationships with and pressure to perform would drive anyone to drink and drugs." 'For the past 10 years, Kate has lived in a completely mad world. Anyone in her situation needs some point of stability' she says." 'And, although she is very close to her mother, Linda, Kate has always wanted a secure relationship. She thought she had it with Johnny, but he just took her on an emotional roller-coaster which has seriously affected her confidence and her psyche.' "Another clue to the supermodel's increasing dejection could be found a few months ago when she commented that she felt like a commodity. 'When I look at a billboard of myself in Times Square, I dont see myself anymore, just an image of what someone is trying to advertise,' she said." "She has tried to downsize her life, doing less modelling, trekking in India and renovating her new London house. But, as a friend who has known Kate since she was 16 points out, she did not do it soon enough. "At parties and at social gatherings, she's not always in good form, always joking and laughing. It's obvious that she has just let go so many bad things go over her head, and now she has come to the point where she just cant ignore them anymore."
