Anna Clifford: 'My mind has told me that I don't deserve to be here, to live'

'It's a constant battle of self-love and believing in yourself at times when it's gone completely dark'

Anna Clifford, star of RTÉ Player's Ireland's Perfect Pubs

For the first few years of my life, I lived in a communal house in Howth with multiple families.

They were all working in yoga or holistic medicine — it was really fun to be a child of that. That’s where I got my creative streak, because I got to play with lots of other kids and put on shows for the parents.
