Depressed reducing breastfeeding

[Ahbegyuhpardun]

I've just gone back to work after a years maternity leave. So I've dropped the daytime feeds this week. It's brought on an early period (only 3 weeks since my last, and I'm usually longer).
And I am so depressed. Like limbs feel like lead, finding it hard to smile or talk, and generally very miserable and nothing seems important. I'm lucid enough so recognise it, and am aware it will probably pass but just reaching out to see how others have felt and any tips?
My husband is being patient but I do feel a bit ridiculous. We had our babysitting plans changed this weekend meaning we had to cancel, and I am properly miserable about it. Even though I know I'm being ridiculous, my whole body is so sad I can't even hide it.
I remember with my first feeling like I'd broken up with someone but it feels a bit worse this time. And also it's harder to deal with, with 2 busy children.

So sorry you're feeling low, yes its totally normal and within a month you'll gradually start to feel better. Just your hormones changing. Try to do the bare minimum at work and carve out some child free time to yourself, crying and eating chocolate are actually brilliant for the really low bits to let out the emotion.

I’m going through the exact same thing - reduced day bfs to nil about a month ago in anticipation of returning to work (next week) post a years mat leave. First period postpartum turned up two days ago. Depression / low mood hit about a week after I dropped my feeds. No real advice other than hang in there - I do feel slightly better already. If you don’t improve try the doctors xxx
