"Although I don't necessarily agree with her choices, Angelina Jolie is entitled to do whatever it takes to relieve her own fear of getting cancer. What saddens me however, is that because she is a public figure, her choice has received global attention and is triggering fear of breast cancer in millions of women around the world, who are now considering following her example and doing the same if they have a family history of cancer. That, to me, is a much bigger issue than what Angelina is doing with her own body. We have been, and continue to send the wrong message about cancer. Just because you have breasts does not make you more susceptible to cancer!!

It's time that ALL of us, particularly those in the healthcare profession, take responsibility, and shift our focus from being cancer obsessed to one of health instead. We have become obsessed with cancer awareness. If we talked about health as much as we talked about cancer, if we poured as much money into health awareness as we do into cancer awareness, we'd have a very different reality. So let's talk about health instead of cancer. Let's talk about what it takes to be healthy, what does it look like, what does it feel like. Even those suffering from cancer would benefit from this! Let's put those fear based cancer dialogues to bed for a change." ♥

Angelina Jolie – is this really prevention? May 16, 2013

Angelina Jolie se cortaba los brazos

Así lo ha confesado la propia actriz durante una entrevista a la revista Parade:

"Solía cortarme o saltar de aviones (wtf) tratando de encontrar algo nuevo que me diera un empujón porque algunas veces todo se sentía demasiado fácil. Estaba buscando algo más profundo, algo más. Trate de todo. Siempre me sentí como en una jaula, encerrada, como si estuviera golpeando cosas que no estaban ahí. Siempre he tenido mucha energía para estar encerrada en una habitación"

Pues vaya que cortarse con un cúter para sentir ese "algo" no suena como muy buena idea, se hubiera puesto a practicar deportes extremos y ya está (aunque creo que sí que lo hizo por aquello de saltar de los aviones).

Lo bueno es que después encontró a Brad Pitt, ya que al parecer éste le da toda la dosis de "ese algo más" que pudiera llegar a necesitar. "Él me ama, los niños me aman. Ellos saben todos mis defectos y mis rarezas, y los aceptan. De esa manera yo puedo sentirme completa", asegura Jolie en la misma entrevista.

Angelina Jolie has told how she used to self-harm because she felt 'caged'.

The Oscar-winning actress said she was always seeking new thrills - forcing her into more and more extreme behaviour.

But she claims she has changed as she focuses on her new role as a mother.

She said: 'I used to cut myself or jump out of airplanes, trying to find something new to push up against because sometimes everything else felt too easy.

'I was searching for something deeper, something more. I tried everything. I always felt caged, closed in, like I was punching at things that weren't there. I always had too much energy for the room I was in.

'I went through a period when I felt my film characters were having more fun than I was.

'It might partly explain why I ended up tattooed or doing certain extreme things in my life.'

Pointing out bodywork on her arm - one of her 13 tattoos - she added: 'The wild heart caged. I unlocked my cage years ago. I want my children to have that freedom. I want that for other people, too.'

A tattoo on her left arm reads: 'A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages.'

In a candid interview with America's Parade magazine - to be published in full on Sunday - the 35-year-old star also talks at length of her love for partner Brad Pitt, 46, whom she says loves her for all her 'oddities'.

And she said that while the couple's six children - adopted Maddox eight, Pax, six, and Zahara, five; and biological kids, Shiloh, four, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 23-months-old - help cement their partnership, there needs to be more than that to make it last.
