When I was pregnant, I was terrified I'd suffer from post-partum depression or psychosis. TERRIFIED. But then I was amazed to learn that, not only did I not get depressed (with the exception of a few isolated, stress-induced near meltdowns), but my PTSD symptoms seemed to completely disappear.
Now, however, as I am slowly starting to wean off breastfeeding, I'm getting depressed. There's a huge, marked difference in my mood. And it's awful. I'm losing the motivation I had and the hope to make my life better. I basically just feel like sitting all day and staring at the wall.
Has anyone else gone through this? There are other factors in my life right now causing stress, so I can't be 100% positive that it's being caused by the weaning, but it's such a drastic difference to how I was feeling a week ago that it seems like it must be caused by hormones/chemicals.
