Kendra says she suffered from Postpartum Depression


Kendra Wilkinson dealt with post partum depression after the birth of her son. Kendra gave birth to her first baby with husband Hank Baskett back in December. While she has opened up to several magazines about her desire to lose weight and get back into shape, she told this week’s OK! that she also suffered from a pretty horrible bout of depression.

Kendra says it got so bad she felt like she had nothing to live for. As OK! reports:

“After giving birth, I never brushed my hair, my teeth, or took a shower. I looked in the mirror one day and was really depressed. I thought, “Look at me!” I had this glamorous life in L.A., and now [in Indianapolis] I didn’t…a couple of times, I even said, “I just have nothing to live for.”

Kendra also talks about having a hard time adapting to the snow and cold in Indianapolis, and how she went through a pretty severe California-withdrawal seeing as she couldn’t hike or hang at the beach anymore.

Fuck off.

I have a feeling that this is an over-exaggeration. That, or I just made myself look like a total asshole. Both are good possibilities.
silver_lovely 4th-Mar-2010 05:05 am (UTC)
option a.

Who is in your icon today? It looks like Catherine O'Hara but I know I'm prolly way off...
sashaj22 4th-Mar-2010 05:06 am (UTC)
i think so too. She was probably sad but didn't have postpartum depression
strangelittlex 4th-Mar-2010 05:10 am (UTC)
It makes it sound like she just snapped out of it, which usually does not happen with any kind of depression.
sinfulroad 4th-Mar-2010 05:11 am (UTC)
The first part.
valhalley 4th-Mar-2010 05:22 am (UTC)
The first option. Not liking what you see in the mirror for like 2 seconds doesn't qualify as PPD, imo.
schmoo999 4th-Mar-2010 05:32 am (UTC)
I called it being "fragile". I stayed away from the news and would cry over every stupid commercial with a baby. But I was fine in a couple of weeks after giving birth, also not showing or brushing? Called being too damn busy with the newborn. lol.

But depressed? Nah. I was never depressed.

imsodeep 4th-Mar-2010 06:29 am (UTC)
seriously. she hasn't gotten in a magazine in a while, so she has to say something to get back in them.

i feel bad if she really did suffer depression... but i'm skeptical because she's such an attention whore.


that being said, living in indiana can be depressing to anyone. i know, i've spent 23 yrs here
swimbathedrown 4th-Mar-2010 08:23 am (UTC)
ia (first part)
basically she's saying "oh i don't look as hot/get to do fun things anymore, like for REAL!!" because she had a baby and moved out of LA. wtf.
and that promo for her show kills me. she's mad because she's a size 26? i'm a 26 and people call me "bony bitch"

idk i think she's just being superficial.
leatherandjeans 4th-Mar-2010 10:26 am (UTC)
Wow, you and everyone who replied to you are total dicks.
_keng_ 4th-Mar-2010 03:57 pm (UTC)
I agree completely. (about the first part)
silver_lovely 4th-Mar-2010 05:04 am (UTC)
OIC.

bitch has turned a SERIOUS issue into a joke. sry u were a size 4 for 3 days and your husband lost the superbowl. boo hoo.
washie 4th-Mar-2010 05:43 am (UTC)
Do you know anything about depression?

Even the person with the most charmed life in the world can suffer from depression. It has nothing to do with circumstance, it's a physical disease.

silver_lovely 4th-Mar-2010 05:46 am (UTC)
actually i do, i'm majoring in psychology, but thanks.

her description of feeling sad "because it's la and life is supposed to be glamorous and wasn't" isn't really displaying her internal struggle.
synflood 4th-Mar-2010 07:34 am (UTC)
depression is not a disease. depression can sometimes have physical symptoms, but they are not causes.

pignic 4th-Mar-2010 05:06 pm (UTC)
You were pretty on point until "physical disease". Admittedly sometimes a chemical imbalance can cause depression but its not typically a physical disease but more like a syndrome.
ranata 4th-Mar-2010 05:05 am (UTC)
I love her but I'ma need her to stop whoring her kid on the cover of US Weekly and OK! magazine..I've seen more than him than any other kid..He's just use to lights going off in his face now...
christosx3 4th-Mar-2010 05:09 am (UTC)
She was my favorite Girl Next Door. The new ones are shit.
ranata 4th-Mar-2010 05:14 am (UTC)
I agree. Those twins are so young and dumb. It totally freaks me out that they dress alike ALL THE FUCKIN' TIME. Krystal isn't as annoying as they are so yay for her.
grammaire 4th-Mar-2010 05:06 am (UTC)
I think would go into depression if I went from LA to Indianapolis too.





*no offense to people who live in Indianapolis but.. what's there?
rinirini 4th-Mar-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
I think it's a pretty city

Honestly, everything in between the two coasts, except Chicago and maybe parts of Texas, sucks balls, and I have spent the majority of my life living in flyover country so I feel authorized to say this :P
citylights309 4th-Mar-2010 05:10 am (UTC)
agreed.
grammaire 4th-Mar-2010 05:10 am (UTC)
This is pretty much what I figure, simply judging on election statistics.

Hey some college cities in the midwest aren't that bad, pretty good some might say.
iamcheryltweedy 4th-Mar-2010 05:38 am (UTC)
oh.

I strongly disagree.
lastingchances 4th-Mar-2010 05:53 am (UTC)
i love the western (non coastal and coastal) states. east coast and midwest have never thrilled me.
wakingempty 4th-Mar-2010 05:12 am (UTC)
rude rude rude indianapolis is great.
christosx3 4th-Mar-2010 05:15 am (UTC)
I live in a town full of rich, fake bitches and I hate it. I would still rather move to LA.
ranata 4th-Mar-2010 05:17 am (UTC)
If you're used to constant sunshine and not snow, yeah, you'd lose it. That's why I stay right here in the Bay Area...
underdog_ontop 4th-Mar-2010 05:32 am (UTC)
i think i would go into depression if i moved away from home in general.
dd_sp 4th-Mar-2010 06:10 am (UTC)
i'd want to die just going from chicago.
brbsb 4th-Mar-2010 02:37 pm (UTC)
Having lived in Florida and now currently being located in Indianapolis, I can kind of see both sides. Yes, Indianapolis is a much nicer city that it usually gets credit for. It's unusually conservative for a big city, but Marion County (where Indy is located) is pretty much always a blue county...it's the suburbs that make it so conservative generally. But, moving to the Midwest from Florida, even though I'd live in Indianapolis before and knew what to expect, still sucked. I personally love warm weather with lots of sun, and Indianapolis definitely has four seasons. I HATE winter and I get SADD sometimes, so it wasn't the most fun adjustment for me. But, I'm still here in Indy a couple years later...so you get used to it. Still, first snowfall every year and I'm ready to run away and never come back.

I believe the actual terminology is, "Postpartum Attention Whoredom"

she's so gorgeous.
emptypostcard 4th-Mar-2010 05:06 am (UTC)
It's sad that she has to tell people she has a serious illness just to get more attention.

Having a rough first few weeks is part of being a parent, grow the fuck up and deal with it.
h0tfuss 4th-Mar-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
I think a lot of post-partum is really just a drop in hormones combined with not being the center of attention anymore.
cleanburritos 4th-Mar-2010 05:24 am (UTC)
LOL, I feel bad for laughing so hard at this, but it describes my recently in a post-birth/new mom state cousin perfectly.
eclatez 4th-Mar-2010 05:36 am (UTC)
I think it's the fact that life sucks after having a baby


But that too
leatherandjeans 4th-Mar-2010 10:27 am (UTC)
Shouldn't you be drunk-driving somewhere?
carolina_girl85 5th-Mar-2010 12:46 am (UTC)
i'm not saying she had it, but ppd sucks big time. i was dealing with depression for years and then after i had my son, it got worse and worse. dealing with that, the fact that i was raising my son without his dad because he's an asshole, and lack of sleep about drove me crazy. thank god for lexapro/prozac
thewretchedpoet 4th-Mar-2010 05:22 am (UTC)
Negl, I read that shit about not changing out of her pj's or brushing her hair or teeth and was like....ok? I thought EVERY NEW MOM did that at one time or another, ESPECIALLY in the first few weeks. I genuinely feel for her if she legit suffered from PPD but my inner "look at me! i'm an attention whore!" .gif is in action.
metatrix 4th-Mar-2010 03:12 pm (UTC)
Combined with having to take care of a screaming infant 24/7 and no sleep. I think that would make *anyone* depressed.
h0tfuss 4th-Mar-2010 05:06 am (UTC)
She got married and had a kid way too young. She gave up a lot of what she loved about her old lifestyle for a man. I'm not surprised she's a little bummed, but calling it post-partum is misplaced.
ellecoeur 4th-Mar-2010 05:09 am (UTC)
My roommate wants to get married and have kids ASAP and she's only twenty-one. HELL NO.
h0tfuss 4th-Mar-2010 05:14 am (UTC)
Is she living independently and paying her own bills and rent? If not, she has no business having a kid. I hate it when younger women talk about how they're ready to have kids because they're "mature." If you have a baby when you're still living with your parents, it goes without saying that you expect your parents to chip in financially and time-wise. That's not mature.
underdog_ontop 4th-Mar-2010 05:34 am (UTC)
OMG my bff is like that too and it drives me insane. she still lives with her fucking mother and doesn't have a real goddamn job GROW THE FUCK UP UGH
ladyofshalott06 4th-Mar-2010 05:51 am (UTC)
My friend just got married over the summer--she's 22 and has several semesters of college left (as does her husband). And they want 5 kids. And he likes to talk about how its so great to be married in college because there's no money to fight over. Who exactly is he trying to convince, I wonder?


Of course, this is all explained by the fact that they are mormon.
ugly_jacket 4th-Mar-2010 08:39 am (UTC)
lol tell her to nanny some kids or work at a day camp for just one summer, just one
_ohhbaby_ 4th-Mar-2010 05:09 am (UTC)
agreed, post-partum is like not wanting to go next to your baby and being afraid of them etc and takes alot to get over she posed with him like right after she gave birth lol
silver_lovely 4th-Mar-2010 05:53 am (UTC)
she got her lifestyle from whoring herself out to a man and found another willing to focus only on her vs. her + two other girls ...she's pretty much a waste of life to begin with.
ohhkathleen 4th-Mar-2010 06:12 am (UTC)
Pretty much.
lloneke 4th-Mar-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
pretty severe California-withdrawal seeing as she couldn’t hike or hang at the beach anymore.

Bless her heart
modern_toilet 4th-Mar-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
THINKING THAT YOU LOOK KINDA UGLY AND BEING SAD ABOUT IT FOR LIKE A DAY DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE DEPRESSED
weepwop 4th-Mar-2010 05:07 am (UTC)
ppd is fucking scary
thewhowhatwhats 4th-Mar-2010 05:16 am (UTC)
I watched a clip of Marie Osmond (who I guess is also an attention whore) talking about her struggle with it. She explained how it felt and affected her life very eloquently.
xbrokenxdollx 4th-Mar-2010 06:38 pm (UTC)
i am terrified of it. my mother in law went psychotic and was hospitalized a week after my husband was born. his father took the kids and left her. so sad :( i'm so afraid that will be me because i've had such severe depressions.


lol i'm totally unloading on you. sorry bb.
carolina_girl85 5th-Mar-2010 12:47 am (UTC)
it really really is scary. i'm so happy that i talked to my doctor about putting me on meds because i seriously think that saved my life
