Kendra Wilkinson is opening up about her crippling battle with postpartum depression, which the former Playboy Playmate claims left her feeling she had “nothing to live for” after becoming a new mom last December.
Wilkinson welcomed son Hank Baskett IV with her NFL star hubby, but the 24 year old struggled to adjust to motherhood and was pulled into a downward spiral of the post-baby blues, she told OK! Magazine this week.
“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.’”
The ex-Girl Next Door did manage to find one way to fight her way out of the funk — sex.
“[At] the doctor’s appointment following up on everything, he goes, ‘Have you guys had sex?’” Kendra explains. “This was, like, five weeks after. We were like, ‘I guess we have to be honest. Yes, we did.’ And he’s like, ‘Ugh! You can’t do that!’”
