<p>Adele has spoken out about how she struggled with depression after the birth of her son Angelo (now four-years-old).</p><p>In an interview with <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/10/adele-postpartum-depression-parenting" target="_blank">Vanity Fair</a>, the singer said she suffered so badly with depression that she thought she&rsquo;d ‘made the worst decision of my life&rsquo; by becoming a mum. She also revealed that she has no plans to have another baby with partner Simon Koneki as she&rsquo;s ‘too scared&rsquo;.</p><p>‘My knowledge of postpartum - or post-natal, as we call it in England - is that you don&rsquo;t want to be with your child; you&rsquo;re worried you might hurt your child; you&rsquo;re worried you weren&rsquo;t doing a good job,&rsquo; she said. ‘But I was obsessed with my child. I felt very inadequate; I felt like I&rsquo;d made the worst decision of my life . . . It can come in many different forms.&rsquo;</p><p>She admits that friends who didn&rsquo;t have children would get annoyed with her, but that she was eventually able to admit to a friend who also has kids that she was struggling.</p><p>She explains that she decided to give herself 'an afternoon a week' just to do whatever she wanted without her baby, saying: ‘It makes you a better mom if you give yourself a better time.'</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="7" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"><div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:62.5% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"><div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div></div><p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BMO_EDIjjku/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">❤️ @vanityfair</a></p><p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A photo posted by @adele on <time datetime="2016-10-31T16:33:24+00:00" style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;">Oct 31, 2016 at 9:33am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote><script async defer src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>In the revealing interview, Adele also said she couldn&rsquo;t care less if her legs are hairy, admitting that she went a month without shaving and only removed the hair in the end because she was worried fans in the front row of her shows would be able to see it.
