For Lena Dunham, the past year has been as difficult as it has been liberating. Indeed, in the wake of his separation from Jack Antonoff, the creator of Girls , who knew a lot of health concerns, developed an addiction to Klonopin, an anxiolytic. And as she confided to Cosmopolitan, celibacy was a real therapy.
"For me, sobriety does not only mean not taking drugs," said the actress. It also means that I must refrain from being in a negative relationship. I took a break from relationships, which was great for me. I have been totally single for 14 months. "

Positive abstinence
"For young, ambitious, independent women, our gender relationships are complicated," said Lena Dunham. As soon as my body started to go bad, I no longer had this option, and I felt very vulnerable. I realized that, until I was in a dynamic with someone who made me feel safe, I didn't want to do it. People used to say to me, "oh my gosh, you haven't had sex for more than a year", and I was there, "no, actually it was the most saving thing". "
