Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals Her Postpartum Depression Was "Scary"

Gwyneth Paltrow opens up about postpartum depression in a E! special that aired on Wednesday. US Weekly reports that she talks about having the condition after the birth of her son Moses in 2006.

She said, "You don't want anybody to know that you're depressed or crying all the time. There's this shame that we bring to it and it's incredibly debilitating and scary and you just don't feel like yourself."

The actress also talked about her ex-boyfriends Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck stating, "It was strange to be part of a public couple."

Now living a luxurious lifestyle with husband Chris Martin and their children, Apple, 6, and Moses, 4, she didn't always get a free ride from her parents, Blythe Danner and the late Bruce Paltrow.

Paltrow admits, "I would say 'Dad, I can't go out to dinner, I have no money,' and he would say 'you're welcome to come over here and eat at our house anytime, but I'm not giving you money for your social life.'"
