“It’s a f***ing s**t storm. If my hormones are great I’m … When they’re not, my head spins around,” Morissette, 45, said about also going through the early stages of menopause.
The “Ironic” singer makes sure she gets some “me” time every day.

Morissette also touched on dealing with postpartum depression that she suffered with all three children.
“My first two children, it was mostly depression, suicidal ideation, and anxiety. But the depression was so in my face that the anxiety was just background music. With this one, it’s mostly anxiety and almost no depression. I’ve come to understand that this is purely animal,” she added.
