“I don’t know if I would have a second child, why should I go to Dromokaiteio”

In “Mama-des” was found actor Areti Paschalis, where she talked about the period after the birth of her child and the postpartum depression she faced.

The actress described the time the baby had to stay in the incubator and all the changes that came to her gradually: “When I gave birth, our baby stayed in the hospital because he had to stay in the incubator. So leaving the maternity hospital, I remained Nikoresti’s girlfriend and he remained my boyfriend.

The next day, imagine, I put on my goodies, my heels, painted, made up and we went to a very nice restaurant terrace to celebrate the arrival of our son. The day comes, fifth or sixth, when we finally got to take our baby home. There begins a very difficult and dark period for me.

As soon as I enter the house with the child, he was sleeping, I go to the couch, sit down and call my mom. I started to cry. I tell her “Mom, I’m not well, I need you.” My feeling was that I am the little girl who goes to school, something is happening to me that I don’t know what it is and how to deal with it.

All I know for sure is that I want my mom to hold me and somehow take care of this creature. I had no connection with him, I don’t know what to do, I don’t know anything. And so it happened. My mother came home and I suddenly began to exhibit a very subdued behavior.

I began to fall more and more, every day that passed was more and more difficult for me. I couldn’t get up to go from the sofa to the bed and vice versa. I began to be in no mood for anything, I could not hold the child in my arms, I could not be happy. I could not make Nikorestis happy, I could do nothing for the child. I just wanted to cry.

I felt like my life is ending, I’m ending as a professional, I’m ending as a woman and I won’t be lustful for my husband. I was thinking why did I have a child? Why did I bring a child into the world?

Of course, the bright side of this whole story was that I realized very quickly that I had a problem and asked to see a psychiatrist and a psychologist. I could have done it earlier, of course, this is the mistake I recognize because I did it three to four months later,” Areti Paschalis told Jeni Theona.

Now she is enjoying life with her son and at the same time working in theater and television: “My son sings a lot and is very correct. Really, whatever tune he hears, he gets the tone. He’s crazy, he improvises, he plays nice, he makes different voices with his toys.

It seems to me that he is an artist! I really want to see him as an artist. Out of nowhere he says “Mom, I love you” and I melt, I die. And he’s also a very nice, very nice guy. She has long hair, she walks with style, she has an opinion about clothes. He likes black!

I don’t know if I would have a second child. Things have entered a path, I have found my footing. I’m so scared of the whole process, wake up every two hours. Why should I go to Dromokaiteio? If I can avoid it, let me avoid it. In life I don’t want to say no, I want to be open and see the horizon in front of me and everything that life brings”, said the actress on the show “Moms” on ERT1.
