Jennifer Lawrence is opening up about her postpartum depression.
The 35-year-old actress, who recently welcomed her second child with husband Cooke Maroney, says she struggled deeply right after giving birth.
Speaking on the red carpet at the New York premiere of her new film, Die My Love, Lawrence revealed: “I haven’t really had any really bad postpartum conditions. [anxiety] until my second [baby].”
“I think it just added another layer,” she explains, adding, “I mean, I don’t think you need to have kids to play the role of a parent, but having that information about, you know, what a little person needs and what they’re looking for. Just having that information was helpful.”
“I just thought every time he slept, he was dead,” she said of her baby. “I thought he was crying because he didn’t love his life, or me, or his family. I thought I was doing everything wrong and that I was going to ruin my children.”
“You’re doing the most incredible thing for your baby,” Lawrence remembers the AI tool telling him. “You are such a loving mother.”
