Hayden Panettiere is getting genuine about her experience with postpartum anxiety.
In an unique interview with E! News’ The Rundown, the Scream 6 star openly shared how the psychological obstacles she dealt with after inviting child Kaya, now 8, impacted her battles with dependency.
“I wish I knew about postpartum depression. I wish I knew to look out for it,” she informed host Erin Lim Rhodes “I just thought there was something seriously wrong with me, so I thought, ‘Fireball will fix this—duh!’ And it didn’t. It does for a moment, but then it makes everything worse.”
For Hayden, her experience with postpartum anxiety felt particularly separating due to the fact that she had not become aware of it prior to her pregnancy.
“And then it hurts for you,” Hayden, who shares Kaya with ex Wladimir Klitschko, described. “You’re like, ‘I should be able to get over this all by myself.'”
Now with the understanding that it prevails for brand-new mamas to experience postpartum anxiety– signs, according to the Mayo Clinic, consist of serious state of mind swings and trouble bonding with your child–Hayden feels it is necessary to share her story and let others understand how they’re not alone.
