PMT post birth

[springmachine]

I never seemed to suffer much with PMT before having baby.

10 months ago roughly baby arrived and since then PMT is full on rage and just seems to last.
It manifests itself in strange ways and starts off with a sense of extreme anxiety and paranoia and then the anger and sadness and rage happens.
Then I just can't seem to enjoy anything and I can't relax.

It's nearly breaking dp and I apart as neither of us are coping very well with it.

Is this how it is?
Do I need to sort myself out or seek help?

My only saving grace is that the periods are not regular yet and probably once every 6-8 weeks so there is a space of time inbetween where I am relatively calm and happy

Hi, I suffered from the exact same thing despite going back on the pill aswell. I have found only recently I feel my emotions are levelling or abit and the mood swings have stopped (i’m now 13 months PPT). I’ve heard it can take a good year for your hormone balance to settle. I also noticed I as a lot hotter than usual and couldn’t feel the cold like normal for the whole year. It as weird as when they sorted its self out and I wasn’t feeling like I was overheating anymore my hormones seemed to calm down.
