Cardi b talks about her postpartum depression in new interview

Cardi B has been open about her struggles with postpartum depression (PPD) in a new interview with People Magazine. The 28-year-old rapper, who gave birth to her daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus in July 2018, revealed that she experienced PPD after the birth of her child.

"I was depressed, I was sad, I was angry, I was frustrated," Cardi B said in the interview. "I was just feeling like, 'What's going on? Why am I feeling like this?' I didn't know what was happening to me."

Cardi B explained that she felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities of motherhood and the pressure to be a perfect parent. She also struggled with the physical changes her body underwent during pregnancy and childbirth.

"I was like, 'I'm a mom, I'm supposed to be happy, I'm supposed to be joyful, I'm supposed to be this and that,'" she said. "But I was feeling like, 'I'm a mess, I'm a hot mess.'"

The rapper revealed that she didn't seek help for her PPD at first, fearing that it would affect her career. However, after a particularly tough day, she reached out to her husband Offset and a close friend, who encouraged her to seek professional help.

"I was like, 'I need help, I need someone to talk to,'" she said. "And they were like, 'You need to go see a therapist, you need to talk to someone.'"

Cardi B began seeing a therapist and taking medication to manage her symptoms. She also started practicing self-care, including meditation and exercise.

"It's okay to not be okay," she said. "It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to say, 'I'm struggling, I need someone to talk to.'"

The rapper hopes that by sharing her story, she can help others who may be struggling with PPD feel less alone.

"I want people to know that it's okay to not be okay," she said. "I want people to know that it's okay to ask for help. And I want people to know that it's okay to be vulnerable."

Cardi B's openness about her PPD is a powerful reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health, and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
