Katie Stevens is reviewing her experience with postpartum anxiety.
Nearly 6 months after the Bold Type star invited her very first child Rome with hubby Paul DiGiovanni, the 30- year-old is detailing her individual journey.
“If any of you have listened to the episode of the Hold My Hair? podcast that I did, I talked a bit about how I battled with some postpartum anxiety,” Katie stated in anAug 14 Instagram Story video. “I feel like people don’t talk about it enough. It looks different for everyone.”
As she kept in mind of her experience, “For me, my anxiety got way worse. I was just overwhelmed all the time. And I personally have a severe allergy to asking for help, so I didn’t want to do that.”
Katie went on to describe that another layer she felt wasn’t discussed frequently was “not recognizing yourself.”
“Obviously, my role as a mother is one of the best jobs I’ve ever had in my entire life,” she stated, “but you go through a period that no one told me about where you just don’t recognize yourself.”
