Maya admits going thru postpartum anxiety

Geoff Eigenmann's partner Maya opened up about her struggle with postpartum anxiety in an Instagram post on Tuesday, July 24.

The Star Music singer, also known as Angeli Mae Flores, said she has been in such a state since September 2017 after giving birth to baby Arabella Simonein.

She wrote, "I tend to keep quiet when it comes to my mental health, but postpartum anxiety does not get talked about nearly enough.

"You can’t tell by looking, but when this picture was taken, I was suffering from postpartum anxiety."

Maya continued, "At times I couldn’t leave the house, I would cry uncontrollably when I’m alone.

"What it really feels sometimes is a crushing guilt of wave that you’re not a good enough mother/partner/person.

"Or one minute you’re fine, playing with a cute tiny human you made, and the next you feel an overwhelming sense of panic that bubbles up from your chest and suddenly you’re crying and you cannot stop.

"It’s [oftentimes] feeling very very alone. (even though you’re rarely alone)"

Maya later revealed that talking to her partner and having a good support system got her through it.

"The truth is you’re not alone. I’m here. We’re all here.

"I’m working my best to get a handle on it but so far what I feel has helped me the most is talking about it to someone.

"Why don’t we talk about these things more? There’s no shame in asking for help.

"If you’re having a hard a time. Please know what you’re feeling is NORMAL and reach out to a friend, partner, or even me. Let’s talk."
