Gwyneth Talks Postpartum Depression: ?I Felt Like A Failure?

Snarksters who like to call Gwyneth Paltrow the worst, get ready to feel bad—turns out the actress briefly agreed with you. Gwyneth told Good Housekeeping all about her experience with postpartum depression in their new cover story.� “I felt like a zombie. I couldn’t access my heart. I couldn’t access my emotions. I couldn’t connect,” she says about the months after her second child, Moses, was born. “It was the exact opposite of what had happened when Apple was born. With her, I was on cloud nine. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t the same. I just thought it meant I was a terrible mother and a terrible person.” Keep it down, peanut gallery.
Gwyneth says it was her husband Chris Martin that forced her to admit she had a problem. “I thought postpartum depression meant you were sobbing every single day and incapable of looking after a child. But there are different shades of it and depths of it, which is why I think it’s so important for women to talk about it. It was a trying time. I felt like a failure.” Understandably, she sounds grateful for the boost. “I can depend on [Chris]. He makes me laugh. He’s really appreciative of me. You know, he makes me feel special.” Woah, Gwyneth acting like one wouldn’t naturally be appreciative of her? What happened to the GOOPster we knew and were annoyed by?
