​Ashton Irwin off of 5 Seconds of Summer\'s opened up about his battle with depression and anxiety; revealing that he hit a new low during the boys\' Rock Out With Your Socks Out tour and sought help from his bandmate Luke Hemmings.

Speaking candidly about his struggles Ash told The Daily Telegraph that, despite putting on a brave face on stage, he was actually finding it difficult to cope with all the travelling and being away from home for such a long time.

Luke admitted in the latest issue of Rock Sound that living out of a suitcase can be pretty tough, and it affected Ashton so much he became \'depressed\' five months into the ROWYSO tour.

Chatting to the paper, Ashton said: "I told Luke "I\'m f***ing depressed, I f***ing hate this, we\'ve been on tour for five months, I\'m living out of this piece of s*** suitcase with only three wheels on it." 

This obviously isn\'t the first time Ashton\'s opened up about his ongoing battle. Back in June he told the Sydney Morning Herald that he\'d \'dealt with anxiety and depression in my life.\'

He also tweeted fans some advice back in August, saying: "Some days your head will be a whirlpool of depression and anxiety! In those days you gotta breath and focus on everything great in life!" before adding: "You aren\'t on your own!!! You can find the greatest things in life in the smallest and simplest things, you just gotta take a moment" [sic].

Ashton isn\'t the first member of the band to speak out about mental health issues, either. Michael admitted he\'d been \'fixing some problems\' with his mental health on the Michigan date of the boys\' tour in August.
