Since the birth of daughter Harlow, Nicole Richie reportedly entered into meltdown mode. Friends blabbed to the National Enquirer that Nicole cries constantly over her troubles, which include memories of her jail stint, her relationship with baby-daddy Joel Madden, and her persistent body image issues.

“Nicole feels like her life is in a constant state of emotional turmoil right now, and when one crying episode ends, another one seems to begin,” a friend told the magazine. “Everything is happening so quickly that it’s almost getting to be too much for her to handle.”

“The slightest bit of stress turns into a huge emotional ordeal,” the friend said. “Joel is trying to be patient with Nicole even though her meltdowns often do end in arguments. But he understands she’s gone through some very serious emotional and physical changes, she got pregnant, found sobriety, moved in with Joel and became a mother, all in a very short time, and that’s a lot for anyone to handle.”

“Joel is still just as head-over-heels in love with Nicole as he’s been from day one, and he is still planning to marry her,” said the source. “He just wants to make sure that she’s going to be able to put the brakes on this emotional roller coaster before they make that big leap into marriage.”

In more positive Nicole Richie news, she recently announced the launch of her “House of Harlow” brand. Nicole said the line will include clothing, shoes, and handbags. A jewelry line will be the first to debut, sometimes in August.
