Posted May 31, 200718 yr WINEHOUSE OPENS UP ABOUT DESPERATE TIMES British singer AMY WINEHOUSE has revealed her "desperate" and "depressed" past led her to start mutilating herself. The Rehab hitmaker opens up about the slash marks left behind on her forearm in a revealing new Rolling Stone interview, which earned her the cover of the U.S. rock magazine. She attributes the blues to the fact she grew up in the shadow of an older brother, stating, "I did a lot of that 'Oh, life's so depressing' stuff before I was even 12. That's when I would be reading J.D. Salinger... and feeling frustrated (sic)." But Winehouse adds her cutting started later, explaining, "That's really old... Just from a bad time, I suppose. Desperate times."
