So emotional

Had my first LG nearly 4 weeks ago amd still struggling with how big the emotions are. Thought I was quite in touch with my feelings until now! Emotions feel much bigger now and are difficult to manage, if I feel sad or tired or scared or sorry for myself I burst into tears. I'm knackard and finding the routine (or lack of) arduous. I feel overwhelmingly in love with my dd and dp at times and that makes feel totalling inadequate and not worthy amd guilty for not being good enough. I feel bad if people are kind to me and pissedvoff if they are not. When does all this feeling even out? I had a good pregnancy, a healthy birth (apart from 3rd degree tear) and I'm lucky to have a baby who so far had been healthy and happy. Bfeeding has been a struggle but I've had an easy time compared to many and yet am finding it so hard. I thought baby blues passed more quickly than this?

I'm sure it will even out soon. Give yourself time. If you think about it you've had 9 months of a whack load of hormones which are now all up in the air again, add to that a new baby and tiredness and it's no surprise that you're emotional. I think in another couple of months things will have evened out.
