Mena Suvari reveló que lucha contra la depresión posparto “todos los días” a pesar de haber dado la bienvenida a su hijo hace más de un año.
Durante un episodio reciente del podcast “Broad Ideas” de Rachel Bilson , la actriz de 43 años dijo que está cansada de “endulzar” el impacto que la maternidad ha tenido en su salud mental.
“Lucho contra la depresión posparto todos los días”, dijo. “Me haré pruebas de hormonas el próximo mes, así que sí, todo es muy real. Me ocupo de esto todos los días”.
Suvari, quien dio la bienvenida a su hijo Christopher en abril de 2021 con su esposo Michael Hope, continuó diciendo que «está bien tener esas emociones sin importar cuáles sean tus circunstancias».
Since giving birth, one of the biggest challenges for the “American Pie” actress has been accepting that it’s OK to “get out of the house” and have some alone time.
“I remember sitting on our balcony saying, ‘I have to get out of the house. I have to get out of the house.’ My husband, he said, ‘You can go. You can go for a walk.’ But I didn’t think I could,” she recalled, adding that she was “going crazy” after giving birth.
Suvari continued, “I still struggle with that. That I don’t need to be in my son’s face 24/7 to raise a good human being because of my fear. It’s a lot of work.”
Despite “wishing” that she didn’t have these feelings, the actress said a lot of her anxiety and stress came from a change in her birthing plan.
The “Great Peace: A Memoir” author had wanted to have a natural birth but after being in labor for over 48 hours “with an epidural they had to redo again,” she was forced to have a C-section.
“We as mothers are entitled to those emotions and just because I have a beautiful baby who’s perfectly healthy, my husband’s wonderful and we made it out of the hospital, I still feel like I’m allowed to hold some space for being sad over not having that birth,” the “American Beauty” actress continued.
Back in October 2020, the actress — who has been open about her past sexual abuse and drug use — revealed she and Hope were expecting their first child.
“Sigue siendo este proceso para mí de creerlo y aceptar que algo tan hermoso podría sucederme”, le dijo a People en ese momento. “Ha sido una experiencia muy emotiva”.
Suvari se casó en secreto con Hope en 2018 después de dos años de noviazgo. Anteriormente estuvo casada con Simone Sestito del 2010 al 2012 y con Robert Brinkmann del 2000 al 2005.
