Birgit Schuurman suffered from depressive feelings after divorce | gossip

entertainment">“I know that those feelings occur in the Schuurman family, my mother and sister also struggle with them. But I always thought that I had escaped the dance and did not have the depression gene,” she says. But the divorce turned out to be a trigger of depressive thoughts for her.

entertainment">The actress and singer found, among other things, co-parenting their son Chico and the new way of life difficult to process. She no longer saw her son every day, but every other week. When she met her new and current boyfriend Sander van Haarlem, things got even more complicated. “There was the early stage of falling in love. The contrast between those emotions was enormous, it was hard for me.” She said she couldn’t sleep anymore. Birgit sought professional help to discuss her feelings.

entertainment">Her new friend Sander also comforted her during the difficult period, but according to Birgit that was also difficult. “I couldn’t make that clear right away. That sometimes you feel more comforted when someone mentions that you are sad and doesn’t try to take it away.”

entertainment">Earlier this week, Birgit and Sander announced that they were expecting a son. It is the couple’s first child.
