Adele has opened up about her battle with postnatal depression after the birth of her son, Angelo.

 

阿黛尔近日谈起在生下儿子安吉洛后与产后抑郁症做斗争的一段经历。
 

 

The singer told Vanity¹ Fair magazine that she felt, at the time, like she had made "the worst decision" of her life.

 

The 28-year old goes on to say that she "loves her son more than anything" but admits she really struggled adjusting to motherhood.

 

"I was obsessed² with my child. I felt very inadequate," she says.

 

Angelo is now four and Adele's only child with partner Simon Konecki.

 

He advised her to talk to other mothers about her concerns. She says she refused at first but the depression "lifted" once she confided³ in a friend who had a child and realised she wasn't alone. 
 

She goes on to say that taking an afternoon a week to herself improved the situation.

 

The interview comes as Adele reaches the end of her 10-month tour to mark her album 25. She admits she still feels uncomfortable spending time away from her son.

 

"I'm enjoying touring, but at times I feel guilty because I'm doing this massive⁴ tour, and even though my son is with me all the time, on certain nights I can't put him to bed.

 

"I never feel guilty when I'm not working," she adds.

 

"You're constantly trying to make up for stuff when you're a mum. I don't mind, because of the love I feel for him."

 

The singer also spoke⁵ of how her stage fright is so bad that she may never tour again.
