Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey has opened up about experiencing 'dark thoughts' while struggling with her mental health during her second pregnancy.
'There were times when I would have dark thoughts then blame myself, because I would think, "How can I be like this when I am pregnant and have a young girl who needs her mum?"
'There were moments when I couldn't get out of it mentally and then I would put myself in a bigger hole, thinking, "Why am I feeling this way?"'
She went on to explain that her mental health reached such a low that doctors took her in for a caesarean section three weeks before her due date.
'Cookie was due on January 14 and they put me in for my C-section on December 22. They knew I was really struggling.'
Chelsee admitted that her struggles continued after the birth as she was diagnosed with post-partum depression, but that counselling throughout the 'tough' process helped.
