I have an almost 19 month old DS. I separated from his Dad early December last year due to his issues with alcohol and mental health problems. I was doing fine at first, completely happy and content. But since Jan I've been feeling some intense emotions, from extreme anger to happiness and all the rest over the course of hours.

I'm wondering if it's a hormone imbalance. I seem to have one good week during the month (week after ovulation) but the rest are just awful. I've also lost my appetite & lost half a stone since the beginning of the year. Sleeping fine however.

Has anyone else experienced this postpartum? Wondering if it's worth going to the Dr but I'm very reluctant to start taking any medication if it's just hormone related.
