9 week postpartum and experiencing new bleeding and bad mood swings. Not sure if this is my period coming back? My minds all over the place.

So 9 weeks postpartum, bottle feeding. Did start with breast but really wasn’t working for me so from 2 weeks was just bottle feeding.
the past week my moods have been up and down however the past 2 days I have been in some form of rage that starts at the slightest thing that really properly shouldn’t annoy me but does. This is the normally annoyance, I have been in a complete rage. My heart rate has been going up to 120! Which I will be making an appointment for in the morning, I’ve been so stressed, sleep deprived and feeling like I’m not getting any help, but that’s a different matter, anyway, today I started bleeding. It doesn’t look like a normal period it’s like pink watered down. Like the end of my postpartum bleeding but that stopped 5 weeks ago… I’m not having period pains I do not know if this is my period or something I should be worried about? has anyone else had this?
Thanks in advance.

I do think that this is your period and you don't need to make an appointment for it.

I’d pop and see the GP were you on the pill at some point before your pregnancy?

Just asking as I went back on mine about 4 months after my first as it’s helped level out my moods and hormones but then I’d always tolerated it and have endo so I needed to calm to flares down.

That aside I’d see the GP about the rage as well, I mean they have will only prescribe some medication but it may help you to be heard and speak to someone about how you are feeling.
