Becky Lynch has candidly reflected on a deeply difficult chapter of her life, sharing that her experience with postpartum depression surfaced much later than she ever expected.
During an appearance on the “Joyful Mum” podcast, the WWE star revealed that she anticipated any postpartum depression would occur soon after welcoming her daughter, Roux. As an alternative, she said she didn’t begin struggling until greater than two years later, after she stopped breastfeeding. She said,
“The hardship only got here… I mean, you recognize, all of the—you don’t sleep as much and blah, blah, blah, and there’s hard little hard things—nevertheless it wasn’t until… and I had figured I’d probably be inclined to get postpartum depression, but no person had told me that you could get it after you’re done breastfeeding.”
“Yeah. I breastfed for over two years. Really? Yeah. So then when she’s over two after which I weaned her and swiftly, like, I’m so low and I used to be like, ‘What is going on?’ Like… I had no idea until any individual had told me. They were like, ‘Oh yeah, I got it after I weaned my daughter off.’ After which she became just such a source of support for me that I didn’t realize that that might occur. It was just type of a low mood? Uh, yeah, but like very low. And like I remember describing it as like I couldn’t see colours. Like every part just felt gray and dull and I had no hope. I didn’t need to get away from bed within the morning. I didn’t need to exist. Like I used to be just so low. And like anything that went unsuitable went super unsuitable.”
“Yeah… like I didn’t feel worthy of my husband, like all of that stuff. And I suppose not knowing why you felt like that… it’s really scary. It was scary since it’s in your head. Nobody else can hear those things that you just are saying to yourself, that your mind is telling you.”
“I feel inside like three or 4 sessions, it’s just like the sun got here out. Like I could see the blue within the sky… after which I used to be back. But, you recognize, I feel it took about six months. But yeah, just not being aware that it could occur two years after.”
