Rosie Connolly reveals she suffered from post-natal depression after having daughter Remi

Popular influencer Rosie Connolly has revealed she was diagnosed with post-natal depression after having her daughter Remi.

The mum-of-two had previously told her followers that she suffered from post-natal depression when she had her son Harry.

Taking to Instagram the Dublin star said she had hoped she wouldn’t get the ailment again, but six months after Remi was born she knew something was wrong.

“I was conscious of it this time. I didn’t have any signs of anything…but about six months after I had her,I started to see the signs of it all coming back,” she said on her Insta Stories.

“I was going through a bit of a crappy time, I obviously didn’t share it here.”

“I did go to my GP and I went back on my medication so I was diagnosed with postnatal depression,” she added.

Rosie explained that she has been on and off medication to help with her anxiety for ten years now.

“I have been on medication before that’s really helped me when my dad passed away. Over the years I’ve struggled on and off.

Post Natal Depression – Yes, that’s right, absolutely nothing to do with this picture but something that should be spoken about with more ease. I’ve spoken in depth about it on my stories tonight and will save them to a highlight as It’s too much to type here… ❤️ Just know that it’s ok to struggle, it’s ok to not have it all together all of the time, it’s ok to ask for help (in fact it shows immense strength) What’s not ok, is feeling like you have to manage it all yourself, like you have to bottle it up. TALK. To your family, your friends, your doctor, your colleague, your teacher… just talk about your feelings and I PROMISE you, it will get easier from that exact moment on… ❤️ Let 2020 be the year we mind our mental health ???? #mentalhealthawareness #pnd

“It’s what I need right now…just ask for help honestly,” she added.
