Anne-Marie didn't want to be left alone in her house amid postnatal anxiety battle
Anne-Marie's postnatal anxiety was "so bad" she didn't want to be left alone following the birth of her first child. The Baby Don't Hurt Me singer has daughter Seven, 17 months, and a son, two months, with her rapper husband Slowthai. Following Seven's birth, the 34-year-old star was diagnosed with postnatal anxiety, which she hadn't heard of before, and six months later she went through postnatal depression. Speaking to Scott Mills on The Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, she said: "I actually had anxiety so bad when I first had Seven and I didn't want to be left alone. "I was like, 'Don't leave the house, don't go there, don't go there.' "And I didn't know there was such thing as postnatal anxiety. I only knew about postnatal depression. So I was like, 'Oh, OK, that's a new one.' "So then I learned all about that, and then I went through postnatal depression. And that was about six months after Seven was born." Anne-Marie now attends a therapy session once a week, and while she has had a "rollercoaster" relationship with it, therapy has become her "best friend". She said: "You know what, therapy and me, that's a rollercoaster as well, because I started in lockdown, and I've done it consistently, and then I felt like I was OK, and I stopped doing it. "And then I made the third album, and I was like, 'I don't need therapy anymore. I'm fine.' "Then I had Seven and then I was like, 'OK, I'm sorry if you saw any of the interviews where I said I don't need you anymore, can I have you back?!' So now I do it again once a week." Asked if there was any advice she would give to anyone going through something similar, she said: "Probably speak to someone. "Because I just felt like, 'Oh, this is just how I'm supposed to feel.' "Because, you know, my hormones are all over the place, and I'm tired, but my iron was low, so tiredness was coming from my iron deficiency. "It's like there's so many other options to what it could be than just being you're a mum now, you know, so therapy is my best friend. "But also tell people, because I never asked for help, and that's why I got so tired, right? And people think that you're sweet, when you're pretending to be OK." Anne-Marie now feels like her brain is returning to "normal" after being "rewired", and she is "happy again". She added: "I look different. I feel different. My brain is rewired. I swear everything has changed. "I just feel like now I'm slowly getting my brain back to normal. Well, it wasn't normal in the first place, bear in mind! "But it feels like I actually feel happy again. It's weird, because obviously I'm happy that I've had children, and I love them."

Anne-Marie reveals she didn't want to be left alone during secret post-natal anxiety and depression battle following the birth of her first child
Anne-Marie has revealed that she didn't want to be left alone during her secret battle with post-natal anxiety and depression. The singer-songwriter, 34, shares daughter Seven, 18 months, with her rapper husband Slowthai, and the pair welcomed a baby boy in May. But Anne-Marie recently revealed she suffered from both post-natal depression and post-natal anxiety after the birth of Seven. In a candid chat with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2 on Tuesday, Anne-Marie spoke about she struggled with anxiety so badly after welcoming her daughter that she couldn't be alone. 'I actually had anxiety so bad when I first had Seven and I didn't want to be left alone,' she said. 'And I was like, don't leave the house don't go there, don't go there. And I didn't know there was such thing as postnatal anxiety. I only knew about postnatal depression. So I was like, oh, okay, that's a new one. 'So then I learned all about that, and then I went through postnatal depression - and that was about six months after Seven was born.' Anne-Marie went on to discuss her journey with therapy as she revealed she had stopped going - before realising she needed it. She said: 'Therapy and me, that's a rollercoaster as well, because I started in lockdown, and I've done it consistently, and then I felt like I was okay, and I stopped doing it. 'And then I made the third album, and I was like, I don't need therapy anymore. I'm fine, and then I had Seven and then I was like, Okay, I'm sorry if you saw any of the interviews where I said I don't need you anymore, can I have you back?! So now I do it again once a week.' Taking to Instagram over the weekend, Anne-Marie revealed her head has been 'all over the place' over the last two years but thanked her family for getting herself through her mental struggles. Up to 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men develop mental health problems such as depression or anxiety during pregnancy, or in the first year after childbirth. She said: 'This is the most "me" I've felt in a long time. My head has been all over the place. I've been pregnant and breastfeeding for over 2 years. 'My hormones are mental and I've only just started feeling okay. I've been through a lot. My body has been through a lot. It's so hard but I guess cliche to say IT IS worth it. 'For someone who doesn't like routines I've had to become the person who lives in one. With naps and feeding and meal times. 'But I'm through it, still going through it but I feel I've come out of the hole. I battled with post natal depression and post natal anxiety, and therapy (yet again) and the people around me pulled me through it. 'Now I'm back. I'm strong and I'm excited. My blond hair is back. My body is kinda back. 'I just have to stop eating chocolate now and saying 'the baby wants it' hahahaha damn. Anyway, this caption is too long but just wanted to let you know.' In the raw and honest post, Anne-Marie also teased her musical comeback now she feels stronger. 'My mind is finally seeing clear again. Yay. I have 2 beautiful babies. Now it's time to tour again hahaha. Okay maybe not yet but soon', she said. Anne-Marie was supported by her celebrity pals in the comments, including Jessie J, Paloma Faith and Fearne Cotton. Jessie wrote: 'Superwoman', while Paloma added: 'TOTALLY RELATE' She said: 'This is the most "me" I've felt in a long time. My head has been all over the place. I've been pregnant and breastfeeding for over 2 years' Kate Lawler also penned: 'Your honesty will help so many. Well done on getting through the toughest times. xx ❤️' Anne-Marie and Slowthai, who married secretly in 2022, confirmed the news that they were expecting their second child together just days after Seven celebrated her first birthday. Explaining the meaning behind Seven's name, The Sun previously revealed: 'It is Anne-Marie's lucky number and she even has 0707 tattooed on her because she sees them as her angel numbers.
