Got back from a friends earlier and I'm unnerved by what she has told me.
She was looking dishevelled but happy at that particular time (she's on AD's and has been for about 6 months BTW) and that's when she came out with it. The long and short of it was that she became suicidally depressed when her LO(5m + EBF) latched on and it took about 30mins for those feelings to settle after feeding. Now, these feelings only happen when she is feeding and no other time.
The worst part was said friend telling me that earlier on, she stood in front of her meds cupboard and was contemplating taking an overdose. As soon as I heard that, I told her to go to her GP ASAP.
Is it normal to feel suicidal when BF?
