Lisa Rinna candidly shares her postpartum depression journey, acknowledging 'pretty scary' reality

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lisa Rinna candidly shared her postpartum depression and rediscovery of her sexuality.

In her interview for Cosmopolitan's 'Sex After 60' digital issue, the reality star said, "Well, within those 31 years, I had children, and that's a whole moment in itself. And then I had postpartum depression and I completely lost my mojo."

Lisa Rinna says antidepressants 'helped tremendously'

The mother of two who shares daughters, Delilah Belle, 25, and Amelie Gray, 22 with her husband Hamlin said, "I didn’t know I had it for the first 15 months of Delilah’s life, and then once we figured it out, I was treated for it, and I was ready for it when I had Amelia."

"I went on an antidepressant, which helped tremendously. Without that, I don’t know how long it would’ve taken," she said.

She further shared that it was "pretty scary" for her to undergo postpartum depression.

"I’m very positive and a very happy person, and I felt completely hopeless," said Rinna.

"And that’s pretty scary when you’ve never had that happen in your life," the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum added.

Lisa Rinna shared it was hard to rediscover her sexuality after postpartum

The 60-year-old actress said that after she welcomed her two daughters, "it took a minute for me to figure out, 'What do I do?'"

"I think it's hard after you have children to figure out how to get that sexuality back. I was asking the universe to show me a sign."

"There was an article in the Los Angeles Times about Sheila Kelley doing a pole-dancing class."

"She had done this movie about strippers, and she was a fellow actor I knew—her husband was on The West Wing and Harry knew him," she continued.

"This article made me think, 'Wow, that’s scary, and that would be really interesting to do, and maybe I should do it. I think I should do it.'"

She then went on to attend the classes which "changed everything because it felt safe."

"It changed my whole perception and fear about sexuality and expressing yourself. I did it for a good two years, and I don’t think I ever looked back," Rinna added

"Then I was just able to really be open, really share it."

"Harry was thrilled, obviously. I mean, I learned a lot of really good tricks," the reality star concluded, according to People.
