Former Tahidi High actress Jackie ‘Jolene’ Matubia sunk into depression after giving birth to her first baby Zari Wanjiku.

The former actress said that 2015 was hard for her because she had conflicting feelings once she delivered.

“I had these conflicting feelings of constantly wondering whether I should have waited to have a baby and when I tried going back to work, I felt like I was not being the best mum. I would wake up and cry for about two hours and I couldn’t get myself out of it.” she said.

Jolene, who is married to Kennedy Nyogz, a pilot at KQ, added that the depression was so bad that it almost ruined her marriage.

 “It even caused some friction in my marriage because we were young first-time parents and during that period there wasn’t much awareness about such things,” she confessed to Parents Magazine.
