B&B Star Rebecca Budig Has Always Been An Advocate Of Postpartum Mental Health

The Bold and the Beautiful actress Rebecca Budig, who is best known for her role as Taylor Hayes on the hit CBS soap, had opened up about her battle with postpartum depression. Here’s what she has to say.

B&B Star Rebecca Budig Has Always Been An Advocate Of Postpartum Mental Health

According to Soaps in Depth, Rebecca admits that the months after she gave birth to her daughter Charlotte back in September 2014 were not easy on her. “I had my daughter seven years ago,” Budig shared. “When she was about five months old, I was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety.”

“What I thought would be the easiest, most joyful time of my life turned out to be one of the hardest,” she added. “Many women go through it, but the shame I felt was overwhelming. There is a ton of pressure when you become a mom. It starts with breastfeeding and on and on and on.”

Rebecca said that despite her experience with postpartum depression, she’s decided to focus on the more positive things in her life. Luckily, it’s worked for her.

“One day I shared what I was going through with my friend, Michael Easton, and was encouraged to write it down,” she revealed. “What came of that is a short film based on my experience. I wrote and shot this film — under Michael’s direction — to share it with others in the hope that one woman won’t feel alone. That a loved one might open their eyes to how someone might be feeling.”
