that while she loves Ever and Onyx, she has had good days and bad days since becoming a mom. She said her bouts of PPD often left her “debilitated to the point where I can barely move” and felt “very isolating.”, she said she waited 16 months before she got help during her last bout, which happened after giving birth to Onyx. Morissette told the magazine she had even convinced herself she didn’t need any help because she was so used to having experienced depression in the past.
“It wasn’t the first time I’d experienced depression, so I just thought, ‘Oh, well, this feels familiar, I’m depressed, I think,’” she said, pointing out that when she turned to her music to– as she had in the past – it didn’t alleviate the feelings that time. “And then simultaneously, my personal history of depression where it was so normalized for me to be in the quicksand, as I call it, or in the tar. It does feel like tar, like everything feels heavy.
