I’m not completely convinced that what Kendra Wilkinson is describing could really be classified as PPD, but she is sharing her feelings with OK! Magazine this week.

She tells Ok! that after giving birth she became completely depressed. “I never brushed my hair, my teeth or took a shower,” she confesses. “I looked in the mirror one day and was totally depressed … A couple of times, I even said, ‘I just have nothing to live for.’”

Kendra, 24, admits the most difficult part was moving from sunny California to Indianapolis for her husband Hank Bassett — a wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts. “It was new to me — the snow and the cold,” she says. “I love runnin g and hiking. I had a hard time being trapped inside. I’d look outside and think how much I wished I could go to the beach again. Now we found a brand-new house in Tarzana, Calif., and it’s beautiful. You’ll see it on the show.”

Any woman who has ever given birth has done that ‘look in the mirror depression’ thing. Who wouldn’t get depressed after days of no sleep, not eating, worrying that your baby isn’t going to die from SIDS and absolutely no time to take a shower and to look and feel human? Those are all normal post partum feelings. Real PPD is much, much worse. But again, it’s always good when women share their feelings about becoming a mom. It’s not always the wonderful experience you think it’s going to be. Sometimes you wonder what the hell you’ve gotten yourself into.
