Chiara Ferragni reveals: «They told me I couldn’t have children. The therapy saved me “

THEday Chiara Ferragni has two beautiful children, Leone, 3 years old, e Victory, born on 23 March 2021. But there was a moment, a little more five years ago, in which a doctor told her that becoming a mother would have been very difficult for her. The entrepreneur, married to Fedez since September 2018, he has told his more than 26 million followers during a live broadcast with a question box, including outfit suggestions and curiosity about sister Francesca who is pregnant. And he did it to send out, once again, a message he particularly cares about: taking care of your body and mental health is the best gift you can give yourself.

The story, which he had already talked about in 2019, dates back to 2016, When Live in Los Angeles. «I felt lonely, a little depressed, however, it was too important for me to be there and I was not ready to return to Italy, ”said Chiara. “So I tried a little bit to find beauty even in situations where maybe I wasn’t happy. Because I had made this choice and I wanted to carry it forward ». At that time Chiara Ferragni also had some health problem: “For several months I had not had my period without having changed my diet or diet or something else, so I went to see several doctors”. Among them was a gynecologist who gave her a diagnosis that was hard to deal with: «He told me I had the polycystic ovary syndrome and that it would probably be very difficult for me to have children in the future. Although I didn’t want children at the time, I wasn’t even in the right relationship, the idea that I couldn’t do it terrified me».

From that situation of despair, Chiara managed to escape thanks to herself and the support of an expert. “That whole period pushed me to take care of myself, my body and especially my mind in a different way “, the influencer told his followers:”I started therapy, to focus on other things, to play sports and also to feel my instincts and my heart».

And so from a moment of difficulty a phase of rebirth. «The summer of 2016 was one of the most beautiful of my life. Soon after I met Fede, I returned to Italy and everything was sorted out“. And then, On March 19, 2018, Leo came into the world. “When we decided to have a baby, we were lucky: it happened very quickly”, confided Chiara to send a positive message: “This is to say how our mental health also affects our physical health».

It is not the first time that Ferragni speaks without filters of the difficult moments of her life, to explain on social networks the importance of protecting one’s mental health. Last August, for example, he told his followers all his frailties, from anxiety to panic attacks, revealing: “I’ve been seeing a psychologist once a week for three years“. An important choice by the entrepreneur and influencer, because it helps to break down the many preconceptions on a topic, that of mental health, which unfortunately often remains a taboo, linked to stereotypes and prejudices.
