Hi Mamas!! can anyone give some advice or been through the same. I am 9 month PP and after stopping breastfeeding at 7 months - obviously been expecting the inevitable the first period which I knew was coming as my mood swings the week prior were something else 🙃 its just now I can’t seem to shake this constant bad mood and this crippling feeling of self doubt!! Constant dark cloud and anxious feeling. As someone who is quite positive and upbeat this is quite debilitating or is it just my hormones all over the place. Should I seek further help

I am exactly the same. I didn't BF and this happened to me when my periods came back 8 weeks after birth.

7 months in, i'm still struggling with it. It's like severe pre and post menstrual syndrome.

A GP has suggested the pill but i've never liked hormone treatments.

My vitamin do a hormone balancing vitamin which I find really helps. I feel like when i forget to take it, it's much worse.

Just tell yourself, this isn't you and it will pass xx
