The singer, who gave birth to her third baby in August, says 'this culture is not set up to honor women properly after birth.'
Alanis Morissette has shared a powerful blog post about postpartum depression after giving birth to her third child two months ago.
Writing from the “tar-drenched trenches” of postpartum depression, Morissette cites the issues she’s been struggling with since giving birth, from sleep deprivation and “fogginess” to physical pain, isolation, anxiety and “all kinds of PTSD triggers.” She calls it an “invisible load” that impacts her marriage and relationship with her two older children — 8-year-old son Ever and 3-year-old daughter Onyx — and one that she says deserves more respect.
“Wouldn’t it be cool if we treated all postpartum moms and families with this awareness and honor,” she writes. “Even if the treadmill of the quickening of our culture didn’t change pace … that there might be a life raft of empathy toward the feminine life-givers who bear it all and give more than words can even begin to touch on.”
“I sure wish I could have had even a portion of this perspective after my babies were born,” one fan wrote.
