"I was in a situation where I loved and trusted this person more than I trusted myself.
"So when that person is telling you that you have a distorted sense of reality, and that you are impossible, and that all the stuff that you think is going on is not going on, your life gets really confusing really quickly."
She explained: "I was in a situation where in the end, I had the unique experience of finding out that everything I thought was going on was in fact going on.
"So I had this kind of springboard for feeling and recovery that a lot of people don't get."
In 2009, Anna entered a romance with her Scott Pilgrim vs the World director Edgar Wright.
By March 2013, the former couple called it quits and went their separate ways.
In 2012, reports surfaced about Anna and her rumored romance with her End of Watch co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.
The two never dated but Anna did mention their chemistry while they were in character.
Regarding their on-screen chemistry, the actress told E! News: "It felt incredibly intimate. You're in character all the time because you're shooting all the time.
"So Jake and I would be holding hands and suddenly we'd be like, 'Oh, we're not filming.' I'm actually blushing, it gets all sexy time with us."
