Kirsten Dunst checked into rehab earlier this year because “I wasn’t taking care of myself emotionally,” the actress reveals in a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

“Everyone goes through a hard time in their life,” Dunst tells the mag. “They just don’t have to do it in front of tons of people and with our media the way it is. I did, and I’m lucky that I had the resources and the money to take care of myself.”

Dunst says prior to going to Utah’s Cirque Lodge rehabilitation center she was “enormously co-dependent.”

“I wasn’t taking care of myself emotionally. I wasn’t expressing my anger,” she says. “I was making nice all the time.”

Now, she says, “I’m great.”

On her love life, the 26-year-old — who is currently selling her LA home to move to NYC full time — said, “Listen, I’m happy single or not single.

“Now I love me, so I’m okay.”
