BUMUBUTI na ang kalagayan ni Chrissy Teigen mula sa nararanasang Postpartum Depression.
Sa bagong panayam sa kanya ng Refinery 29, ibinahagi ng model ang tungkol sa kanyang postpartum depression nitong nagdaang taon at sinabing sa kabila ng ilang “bad days,” positibo pa rin ang kanyang pananaw sa buhay.
Ibinunyag ni Teigen ang kanyang pakikipaglaban sa PPD noong Marso, at ngayon ay nalalampasan na niya, at umaasa na makakatulong sa ibang ina na nakararanas din nito ang pagbabahagi niya ng kanyang kuwento.
“Just know that there’s a light on the other side,” aniya nang tanungin kung ano ang maibibigay niyang payo sa mga taong dumaranas din ng kanyang sitwasyon. “When I was in the midst of everything, I could never imagine myself on the other side of it. Now, I’m able to look at September, October, November, December, and shake my head at how dark and crazy of a period it was.”

“Unfortunately, you can only really do that when you’re out of it,” dagdag niya. “There’s no other way to explain it. And there’s no better feeling than being out of it.”
“You have your good and bad days. I just had a bad day a couple days ago. But the bad days do not outweigh the good days anymore. Just when you think it’s really, really bad, it’s going to get better,” patuloy niya. “So hopefully, if you’re going through something tough you can find some peace in knowing that.”
Ibinahagi rin ni Teigen, na mag-iisang taong gulang na sa Biyernes ang anak na si Luna, ang tungkol sa likas na pagbabago na kanyang pinagdaanan simula nang maging ina – at kung paano, sa kabila ng dagdag na responsibilidad, “you can still be cool.”
“You definitely do have to change. You just have to. But a lot of my friends and I joke whenever I go out, like ‘Oh, here goes cool mom,’ or if I ask for a braid in my hair, they’re like ‘Oh, you want to be cool mom again!’” aniya. “You naturally change because there’s something else that consumes your mind at all times and I don’t think you can help that, but you can still be cool!”
“But, some people are lucky enough to have people around them who are able to help,” paliwanag ni Teigen. “Like, my mom lives with us. It’s an incredible experience that I’m able to have, because I can maintain this balance of still having a life, and being a mother, and being a mother with a life, and my life being a mother.”
“And even if you don’t have a live-in mom, if you aren’t afraid to lean on other people when you need it, I don’t think you have to feel like you have to give everything up. But it does change you, and that’s why I think you have to be completely ready.”
Ngayon sa “in a much better place” at nararamdamang “like everything’s coming together really well right now,” handa na si Teigen na mag-focus sa kanyang sariling mga proyekto.
“I just started working on the cookbook again yesterday. As I talked about in my essay, I was going through a really dark time, so I had started the cookbook, and then I had to completely put it on pause, because it was a lot for me,” pag-amin niya. “So as of yesterday, I started doing really great, and I really got back into the mode of cooking.”
“I’m really starting to feel like myself again. I’m going to try to knock out a bunch of recipes, go on tour with John and Luna, live on this tour bus and then come back, do a few more recipes, shoot the cookbook and then have it out for everybody by the beginning of next year,” dagdag ni Teigen. - ET Online
