Singer Adele Talks About Her Experience With Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression is a disorder that affects thousands of women worldwide. It’s something that can happen to any of us.
An issue of Vanity Fair magazine published what the singer said about her pregnancy and the birth of her son Angelo.
The 6-year-old baby is now a source of love and inspiration. However, the mother went through difficult times after her birth.

Today, the singer is dedicated to music and motherhood. She is also concerned about the taboo on postpartum depression.
“I was obsessed with my baby. I felt insufficient, I felt I had made the worst decision of my life ”

She revealed that she is not afraid to talk about her condition. On the contrary, he wants other mothers to feel free to do the same thing.
Sometimes this disease is treated very severely, as if women do not have the right to feel bad and be able to express their feelings.
Postpartum dissatisfaction or postpartum depression
Adele declares that her knowledge of postpartum depression in England meant not wanting to be with a child.
She worried that she might harm her baby and felt that her job as a mother was not good enough.
However, he didn’t comment to anyone. He was very scared. Her husband advised her to seek support from other women.
She resisted at first, but was soon surprised to learn how many women were in the same situation.
Not only did they go through the same situation, they were also afraid to talk about it.
However, she says that four of her friends who had the same types of feelings were not ashamed to talk about it.
The singer did not actually take antidepressants, instead being inspired by women who had more patience.
Mainly, it was inspired by the courage of pregnant women who had other children.
The decision to overcome your postpartum depression
Although most of Adele’s songs are melancholy and sad, she assures her that her personality is generally not like that.
Another difficult episode was when he overcame a very sad phase with the death of his grandfather, when he had to undergo therapy.
In that postpartum moment, the singer was faced with a similar feeling and, therefore, decided to overcome it.
“I’ll give myself an afternoon for myself, without my baby!” This comment did not please her friends who questioned the reason for the decision.
In addition, she also explains that talking to someone at this stage doesn’t work because you’re tired and you feel like everyone else is judging you.
One of her main problems was feeling guilty about maintaining her professional life and motherhood at the same time. In this case, no one could help her, let alone understand her.
She thinks that having a child-free day can make her feel bad, but not doing it is much worse. She always takes him on tours and tries to fully fulfill her role as a mother no matter what the conditions.
However, he still suffers when he doesn’t arrive in time to take his child to bed. She can’t get over the idea that she’s failing and that she’s not the best mother.

The singer confesses that she would like to do something else and that every minute she can have for herself is a blessing.
She is praised for her decision to become a mother right in the middle of her successful career . The singer says that courage is one of those who don’t have children and believes that women who don’t feel pressure to be mothers are courageous.
“I love my son more than anything, but on a daily basis, if I have a minute or two, I would want to do what I want, whenever I want. I feel that way every day. ”

As for depression, she says it’s her ticket out of prison. As long as you suffer for it, you may have a space to free yourself.
