Hinting at her split, she added: "I feel a bit down these days. I don't feel like I've been myself for a decade, in a way, which I don't want to get into."
Jolie added that being a mother has kept her going in her darkest of days.
"I think, recently, I would've gone under in a much darker way had I not wanted to live for them. They're better than me, because you want your children to be."

She and Pitt share Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15, together.
She said working on her fashion line has been 'therapeutic' for her.
Pitt and Jolie married in 2014, but filed for divorce two years later in 2016 after 11 years together.
Last year, Jolie alleged her ex-husband was physically abusive towards her and two of their six children on a flight in 2016 in a legal filing.
The fight between Jolie and Pitt on their private flight in 2016 has long been known as the catalyst for the dissolution of their marriage.

It was previously reported that Pitt was accused of ''looting'' the French château he once jointly owned with Jolie.
Opening up about his divorce and heartbreak, Pitt previously told GQ: "I think all our hearts are broken."
"I always felt very alone in my life, alone growing up as a kid, alone even out here, and it's really not till recently that I have had a greater embrace of my friends and family."
