Adele About Her Experience Of Postpartum Depression

Postpartum depression is a disorder that affects thousands of women around the world. It’s something that can happen to anyone. In this case, we will talk about the singer Adele who has shared with the world about her experience of postpartum depression. She too has gone through it.

One in an issue of Vanity Fair, the singer talked about her pregnancy and the birth of her as Angelo. Her son, who is now  four years old, is her love and inspiration but his birth made his mother go through a tough time. 

Adele is a 28 year old woman who has won 10 Grammys and an Oscar. She is known for her award-winning ballad Skyfall which became well known through the James Bond film of the same name. Today  she focuses on her music and motherhood, but she is worried about the taboo that surrounds postpartum depression.

As the artist revealed  is afraid to talk about his condition. On the contrary, she wants other mothers to feel free to  do so. This disorder is sometimes treated with numbness as if women do not have the right to feel upset and to express it.

Baby blues or postpartum depression

Adele says that to her knowledge of postpartum depression  , it means in England that you do not want children. It worried her that she might be able to cause harm to her child. She did not feel satisfied with her efforts as a mother. She thought she was not doing a good job.

Even so, she did not tell anyone. She was very scared. Her husband suggested that she seek help from other women. She rejected the idea at first but  later realized how many other women were actually in the same situation. In fact, not only had they gone through the same experience. They were also afraid to talk about it.

However, she said that four of her friends who had the same feelings were not ashamed to say so. She was not comfortable taking antidepressants, so instead  she was inspired by women who possessed more patience. In particular, she saw herself reflected in the fashion of pregnant women who had other children.

The decision to overcome their postpartum depression

Although the majority of Adele’s songs are melancholic and sad, she assures that her personality is not like that. Despite this  , she tells a sad story about her grandfather’s death and how she went into therapy  afterwards to work her way through it.

At this point, she felt something similar but she decided to deal with it: I will give myself an evening just for me, without the baby! Adele’s friends did not like this comment and challenged her because of it.

She also explains that it does not work to talk to anyone in this phase because you are tired and it feels like everyone is judging you. One of her biggest problems was that she  felt guilty for participating in her professional life and motherhood at the same time. On this level, no one could help her and even less understand her.

She concluded that  spending a day without her son made her feel bad, but not doing so made her feel much worse. She always takes him on tour and completes her mother role but it does not matter. She still struggles with herself and difficult feelings when she does not arrive in time for bedtime. Adele cannot overcome the idea that she is failing as a mother, that she is not the best mother.

Adele maintains that she does not like motherhood

The singer admits that she would rather do something else and that every moment she can have for herself is a blessing. She has been congratulated on her decision to become a mother in the middle of a successful career. She says that the brave are really those who do not have children. She believes that it is braver not to be forced to become a parent.

As for her depression, she expresses that it is her “get out of jail” card. While struggling with it, she can have time and space to free herself. She says that she has no future desire to become a mother and that she feels complete with her son and her partner’s daughter. Regardless, there have been recent gossip about a second pregnancy for Adele.
