Alanis<\/strong> explained that she prefers the term \u201cpostpartum activity\u201d because what she experienced went beyond depression, and she revealed that her symptoms became increasingly difficult after each pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Alanis Morissette Says Postpartum Depression Got Harder Each Time<\/h3>\n

\u201cI had, I call it postpartum activity because it\u2019s not just depression,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I mean, depression on its own, and if you\u2019ve had a history depression, and then from my experience, each postpartum depression gets increasingly harder.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust wanted to meet my kids, though, so badly, so I kept going. But basically, I became another person,\u201d Alanis<\/strong> continued.<\/p>\n

She described experiencing \u201cinvasive thoughts that are so harrowing, terrible, ceaseless,\u201d along with \u201canxiety, depression, rage, off the charts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt completely out of control. And yet I was touring and leading and being a boss and being someone taking care of money and finances and everything,\u201d she recalled. \u201cAnd that part is the part where when I\u2019m quiet and alone, I might weep a little bit here and there about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alanis<\/strong> also revealed that she sought help much sooner each time she experienced postpartum depression.<\/p>\n

Alanis Morissette Explains How Quickly She Sought Help After Each Child<\/h3>\n

\u201cFirst time I waited a year and two months. Second time I waited eight months. And third time, I think I waited three days,\u201d she explained. \u201cI was just like, \u2018Oh no, I\u2019m not doing this again.’\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer went on to discuss touring while experiencing postpartum depression following the birth of her third child.<\/p>\n

When asked if she was able to push through while performing only for things to \u201ccome crashing down\u201d afterward, Alanis <\/strong>replied, \u201cBack at the hotel, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alanis Morissette Reveals She \u201cDipped Into Psychosis\u201d While Touring<\/h3>\n

\u201cBut I still showed up, like, I was, I dipped into psychosis. It was a wild ride,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n

She recalled facing judgment from people in the music industry during the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then I\u2019d have people in the business going, \u2018What\u2019s going on with her? Now she\u2019s extra crazy,’\u201d Alanis <\/strong>said.<\/p>\n

Alanis <\/strong>shares son Ever<\/strong>, 14, daughter Onyx<\/strong>, 10, and son Winter<\/strong>, 7, with husband Mario \u201cSouleye\u201d Treadway<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
