Post partum moods.... where else can I ask? Haha

[racquel86]

So my baby girl who I have longed to be with me for years.... I had her at the ripe old age of 35..... I love her to bits!
BUT...... I'm finding every time I have a period (she's only 17 weeks but my periods came back quickly) I'm absolutely emotionally f*ed 😩
It's not ppd (I'm quite a knowledgeable person with depression I've battled it many times) but my god I'm off the scale completely...... it got so bad I cried in front of her and told my partner I didn't want her .... and I didn't mean it.... I'm just uncontrollable emotions and angry when I'm 'on'
Help! Anyone else been like this? 🙏🏻

100% I can relate - so sorry you are going through this! 3 weeks of the month I'm absolutely fine then 1 week I turn awful - mood swings/ very emotional/ I'm unreasonable and I'm horrible with words to my OH who puts up with all my crap! I don't have answers I'm afraid I just wanted to let you know you are not alone. My LO is 15 months and I'm still suffering they say it can take 2 years for the hormone balance to go back to pre pregnancy state. The only thing is trying is Agnus castus herbal remedy from Holland and barrat - I have only this month started taking them because my last lead up to period was the worst yet so I was desperate to try and ease the situation and when reading up how to deal with it these were recommended but it's too early to tell yet! I said to the other half if we aren't divorced next month you know they are working ( I was joking ... I think haha)! I hope you get some better advice soon I just wanted to say your not alone x

I can relate too. Though I'm a different person since having kids.
It is surely the combination also of being so exhausted and sleep deprived while being tested to our emotional limits, suppressed anger, frustration etc that really tests us. Of course it is going to come out all guns blazing.
