As the title says , nearly 4 weeks ago I weaned my son. I have since had extreme anxiety ( always had some but this takes the biscuit !) Depession , mood swings , weight gain (already couldn't lose weight while breastfeeding and thought if finally statt losing weight!) Low sx drive , feeling sad mad and rage.. is this normal ?? I also cannot.lose a pound of weight. I don't eat badly and I regularly walk 10-15000 steps a day
Anyone had experience? How long will it take 2 lose weight and also feel normal agai my periods are regular and have been throughout breastfeeding. Any help or advice appreciated as I fed up of feeling so down and anxious ! Thank u

I could be totally wrong but it sounds like post natal depression has kicked in. The same happened to me also and I went to the drs and I was astounded to find it can come way after you have a baby and stopping feeding brought it on. I had meds for a few months till it settled but before meds I became a stressed out crying anxious mess which I had never been before. Go to your drs get help for whatever it is 🙂
