Lily Allen is undergoing therapy to reassure her she is not a "bad person".
The 'Hard Out Here' singer, who has children Ethel, two, and Marnie, 15 months, with husband Sam Cooper, claims speaking to a therapist helps her with "complicated relationships" and admits the busier she is, the more she struggles.
She told Thebeatjuice.com: "I had a session last week for the first time in a year.
"It helps get my relationships in order. I have quite a lot of complicated relationships.
"Lots of weird co-dependencies. And when I'm busy, things happen. I get quite confused about my place. I sometimes need someone to tell me I'm not a bad person."
The 29-year-old singer - who previously checked into The Priory clinic after suffering depression - admitted she has had issues with troublesome friends, and the pressure of relaunching her career after a four-year break "got a bit much", prompting her to seek help.
She continued: "I try to mother everyone. And trying to do that while relaunching a pop career and looking after two children got a bit much for a minute. I'd been so manic."
Lily lost her godfather, musician Roger Pomphrey to liver cancer in January, which inspired her to quit smoking and she is hoping never to go back to the deadly habit.
She explains: "I looked at my cigarette and thought, 'What am I doing?' I want to do it as best I can. I don't want to be a smoky-cokey mum. I hope I can keep it up - it just kills you."
The 'Not Fair' star sees drugs, alcohol and cigarettes as "distractions" and claims they don't often agree with her and the party lifestyle isn't always as glamorous as it appears.
She added: "No one would ever say I'm at my best when I'm really high.
"It's never as glamorous as it looks. It's fun, until 2am.
"I never once woke up and thought, 'God, I had such a good chat with that person at 5am - I'm so glad I had unprotected sex with them."

Victoria and David Beckham wore matching outfits to the Met Gala in New York City last night (05.05.4).
The 40-year-old fashion designer and her former soccer star husband, 39, both arrived at the star-studded charity event at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing cream-coloured outfits and posed happily for the cameras.
The former Spice Girls star - who has four children with her spouse - wore a stunning floor length gown, while her husband, who retired from soccer last year following a stint at French club Paris Saint Germain, paired his black bow tie and trousers with a cream suit jacket.
And the couple had a great time at the annual event, with Victoria later tweeting: "So much fun tonight at the #MetGala Thank u team VB, amazing dress!!! I love u all x (sic)"
Meanwhile, 'Drunk in Love' singer Beyoncé was seen dropping a ring she was wearing on her right hand on the red carpet.
Her husband, 'Holy Grail' rapper Jay Z, swooped in to pick it up and stage a fake proposal, which the mother of his 2-year-old daughter Blue Ivy happily accepted.
Other couples in attendance at the annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute included 'X-Men' star Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, 'Gossip Girl' actress Blake Lively and her 'Green Lantern' star husband Ryan Reynolds.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West - who recently featured on the cover of Vogue magazine - were also guests at the prestigious event and posed for a photograph with the magazine's editor Anna Wintour.

'EastEnders' hunk Ben Hardy used to be a "bit chubbier".
The actor - who plays Peter Beale in the soap - hits the gym up to six times a week to keep himself in shape and admits that getting rid of his "body fat" was difficult.
He told Attitude magazine: "I was a bit bigger actually. Yeah, I was a bit chubbier as well. So that was the thing, getting rid of the body fat, that was [hard]."
Talking about his gym routine, he added: "I go through phases, sometimes I go six times a week sometimes four.
"I do lots of weights and I do lots of cardio. I used to play rugby when I was younger and I do think what you do when you're younger affects you when you're older. I feel like now I've got some muscle, that's probably just laid there, embedded in my genetics, from doing rugby and I find it harder to stay trim than I do to put on muscle."
Ben insists his former co-star David Witts (Joey Branning ) has the best body out of the cast.
He added: "He was ripped but he was bulky as well."

Emma Thompson has been cast in 'A Walk in the Woods'. The British actress, Nick Offerman and Kristen Schaal are the latest stars to join Robert Redford and Nick Nolte in the independent comedy, based on bestselling travel writer Bill Bryson's 1998 mem...

Lily Allen wanted to return to music using her married name.
The singer, who has children Ethel, two, and Marnie, 15 months, with husband Sam Cooper has released her comeback album 'Sheezus' after a four-year hiatus and wanted to use his surname before being persuaded against the idea by management.
She told Q magazine: "You pick your battles. At the time I would have [changed my name], but in retrospect I quite like having Lily Allen back."
Talking about her new record, she said: "This album's like a vomit of stuff that's happened to me over the last four years.
"It felt like a fair representation of everything that's happened since I've been away."
Lily admits she can be an "argumentative little sh*t" with a self-confessed "mass of contradictions" but insists she's not as bad as she used to be.
Lily explained: "When you're a parent your ego is halved. The things that affected me were like, 'I can't believe people are saying horrible things about me'. But as long as people are saying horrible things about me and not my children. It's not about me. I'm not even a real person any more. I'm just their mum."

Charlotte Crosby is hopeful Sophie Kasaei will return to 'Geordie Shore'.
The bubbly brunette was devastated when her best pal in the Newcastle party pad was axed from the MTV reality show over a race row, and is crossing her fingers Sophie will be allowed to return for the next series.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm definitely missing Sophie. I still talk to her all the time, we always go out together. She's my best friend now so she'll always be in my life.
"It's a bit sad that she won't also be in my work life as well because we had such a laugh."
Probed whether Sophie could be back in future, Charlotte sighed: "I know... it would be me dream that that would happen, but I just don't know."
The 24-year-old star scoffed at rumours new cast member Aaron Chalmers had £12,000 worth of plastic surgery to fit in with the boys in the house, and says he is far more of a "gentleman" than girl-obsessed stars Gary 'Gaz' Beadle and Scott Timlin.
She explained: "He's just had a nose job because he had a bump on his nose. I know Aaron from Newcastle, everyone knows everyone in Newcastle! He's a lovely lad, he's a gentleman. Well, I say that, but I mean he's just not like Gary and Scott. He's really nice.
"He's not always out trying to pull girls. Aaron's actually Gary's really good friend so he's not left out, he doesn't look any different, he's just not really that interested in going out and having sex with a different minger every night!"
'The Charlotte Crosby Experience' airs Tuesdays at 9pm on TLC.

Jennifer Lopez will receive the Icon Award at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards.
The 'On The Floor' hitmaker is set to become the first woman to be honoured for her lifetime achievement to music at the ceremony held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 18.
The star is the only the fourth recipient of the Icon Award ever, following on from Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder and Prince.
Larry Klein, producer of the Billboard Music Awards, commented: "Jennifer Lopez is one of the most iconic performers of her generation.
"We are thrilled to honour her historic career with the 2014 Icon Award and will be on the edge of our seats like everyone else when she takes the stage."
The sexy songstress is also going to take to the stage during the ceremony to debut her FIFA World Cup anthem 'We Are One (Ole Ola)' with Pitbull, as well as performing her new single 'First Love'.
The 'American Idol' judge took to Twitter over the weekend to reveal her upcoming eight studio album will be called 'A.K.A.', as well as sharing the artwork for the new record, which shows her clad in a bondage-style red leather dress.

Bryan Singer has been hit with a second sexual abuse lawsuit.
The 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' director has now been accused by a British man of allegedly abusing him at a London hotel with Broadway producer Gary Goddard when he was just 17.
The unnamed man's lawyer, Jeff Herman, announced during a Los Angeles press conference yesterday (05.05.14) that his client, now in his 20s, had decided to take legal action after reading Michael F. Egan's similar claims last month.
The 31 year old recently alleged he had been made to perform sex acts on the filmmaker at the age of 15 during a Californian house party after being plied with drugs and alcohol.
Holding up a picture of his unidentified client posing with Bryan and Gary at the 2006 premiere of 'Superman Returns' in London's Leicester Square, Jeff - who also represents Michael - said: "He did this to support Mike, he realized he wasn't the only one this happened to."
According to The Daily Beast, the two men are accused of luring the British teen into bed by promising him a future career as a Hollywood actor.
Jeff's new client claims he was first contacted by Bryan via social media in 2003 when he was 14 and says he partook in nude webcam sessions with the filmmaker when he was 15.
Bryan is then said to have invited the boy to the London 'Superman Returns' premiere after-party when he was 17, where he reportedly attempted to engage in sexual acts against the boy's will in a hotel room.
Bryan and Gary's legal representatives strenuously deny the claims, insisting they are "totally untrue".
The director's lawyer Marty Singer commented: "After the substance of [attorney Jeff Herman's] previous defamatory and fabricated filing in Hawaii was disproved based on unassailable evidence, Mr. Herman's desperation has led him to fabricate these new anonymous accusations against Mr. Singer, which we will also prove to be completely false."
As a result of the allegations, Bryan, 48, has decided to bow out of the upcoming media tour to promote his new 'X-Men' movie, which stars a host of A-listers including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry.

Emma Stone is hurt by 'skinny' jibes.
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' actress has opened up about her slender frame and the constant media speculation about her body, revealing she finds it increasingly tough to keep weight on as she gets older.
She told the new issue of Seventeen magazine: "It can be really challenging in today's world for anyone - especially girls and women - to feel good about their bodies. No matter how things look from the outside, we can all be super critical of ourselves and of our image in the mirror.
"I've seen articles or comments that have addressed my weight, or 'caving to pressure to be thin'. Keeping weight on is a struggle for me - especially when I'm under stress, and especially as I've gotten older. That's the way my genes have decided to go, and things will change as time goes on, as does everything."
The 25-year-old actress insists she is happy and healthy and tries to focus on the truth rather than listening to cruel comments.
She explained: "When completely untrue statements are made about me or my health, of course a part of me wants to defend. Thing is, people have a right to imagine what they want to imagine.
"My job at those moments is to tell myself the truth. Am I taking care of myself in a healthy way? Am I respecting myself and being responsible? And over and over, I answer yes to that question."
Emma, who hit the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City alongside her boyfriend and co-star Andrew Garfield last night (05.05.14), also shared her top tip for ignoring the naysayers.
She added: "I remind myself to be kind to myself, and as slightly ridiculous as it may sound, to treat myself in the same gentle way I'd want to treat a daughter of mine. It really helps."

Drew Barrymore plans to make more films with Adam Sandler.
The 'Charlie's Angels' star first starred alongside the comedian in 1998 film 'The Wedding Singer' followed by '50 First Dates' in 2004 and is currently playing the mother of his children in 'Blended'.
She insists it would be fun to work with him again when their own children are teenagers.
The screen beauty told Red magazine: "When we did '50 First Dates', I was so confused about love but he was about to marry Jackie [Sandler]. I was like, how do you make a relationship work and stay?
"When we did 'The Wedding Singer', we were such young kids with barely a care in the world, there was that joy.
"So it will be interesting to see what our next film together will be. Parenting teenagers next, I think."
The 39-year-old - who has two daughters with her 'Friendly Fire' actor husband Will Kopelman - also hinted that father-of-two Adam could be looking to stray from the comedy genre that he is so well known for.
She added: "A musical would be really fun!"

Daniel Radcliffe admits he rarely speaks to Emma Watson.
The 'Harry Potter' star grew up with his co-star but they haven't spent much time together since completing the final movie.
He told US OK! magazine: "I haven't spoken to her in quite a while. I'm sure we'll see each other at some point. We were all together for 10 years, so we're excited to meet new people now."
Daniel doesn't miss playing the iconic young wizard.
He said: "I still sign 'Harry Potter' books, and I still meet people who are huge fans of the books and the films. I don't want that to drop off, really. But I think people are starting to see me as an actor who came out of that series rather than just Harry Potter."
The 24-year-old actor isn't suspicious when it comes to making new friends but would never date a fan.
He said: "That would be a horrible move. It would make me very strange."
But he added: "I've always had relationships. It's easy to tell if someone is genuine or not."

Matthew McConaughey helped Zac Efron find a work/life balance.
The hunky actor has credited his 'The Paperboy' co-star - who is a doting husband and father to three children - with sitting him down and helping him realise there's more to work than making back-to-back movies.
Zac told GLAMOUR magazine: "During filming, Matthew and I had a lot of time to talk. We talked about life. He got me thinking, because for the past few years, I've been so focused on movies and work. I guess I'm compulsive like that.
"Matthew was the first person to sit me down like a big brother and say, 'Are you happy? What do you want to do with your life, man?' He'd say, 'Let's go do something fun today.' All I'm thinking is, 'Let's go rehearse!' I realised that there was something else I wasn't tuned in to."
One thing that keeps Zac grounded is a good workout, and he often hits the gym to lift weights.
The 26-year-old star said: "That's my thing. It's part of my life. It's what I do and always have done."
Zac also enjoys taking trips to remote locations by himself.
He added: "I like to sneak off to really remote places in the world and just chill. I kind of feel that travelling is how I'm able to stay real and grounded."
