Halle Bailey has shared her experience with severe postpartum depression three months after giving birth to her son Halo. In a recent Snapchat video, the 24-year-old actress described her struggles with feeling detached from her body and having anxiety when separated from her baby for more than 30 minutes.
Bailey highlighted the challenges of transitioning to motherhood and praised her boyfriend DDG for being a supportive partner. She emphasized that “everything about Halo is a miracle” but admitted that she has been struggling with feeling “normal in [her] own body.”
The actress spoke about the lack of preparation for the emotional toll that postpartum can take and the stigma surrounding it. She encouraged others to seek help if they are experiencing similar symptoms and emphasized that it is important to remember that “you never know what somebody is going through.”
Bailey also addressed recent online comments about her and her family, which triggered her to speak out about her experience. She urged people to be mindful of the impact their words can have, especially on new mothers who are particularly vulnerable.
