PPA question

I know there is a check in for this, but I don't know if this fits.

Is it too late for PPA to set in? I've been incredibly anxious lately. I've recently weaned from pumping and my anxiety seems to have coincided with that. Could there be a correlation with that? My sister has also recently been dealing with an incredibly serious health issue that has been really emotional for me. My anxiety may be related to that. I don't know. I need to find a GP to discuss this with. Right now I'm just feeling lost..

    @ricecakes1216‌ I'm feeling this too..for me some days are worse than others. I obsess over little things and can't shake them. I feel like hormones play a big role for me. Sorry about your sister. Hoping you get to talk with a GP bad start to feel better soon.

    Sorry you're feeling that way too. It's getting bad. It's like a wave coming over me. I just can't shake it.

  • So sorry you're dealing with this @ricecakes1216‌ Weaning definitely can cause your hormones to be thrown way off balance. I'm sorry about your sister as well.
  • Thanks, ladies. This feeling sucks. I'll be making a phone call to a doctor soon.

    As someone who suffers with anxiety on the regular, I hope you feel better asap. It sucks.

    And I hope your sister is doing ok :(

  • I'm so sorry. As PPs have said, it can set in anytime in the first year. Weaning also causes a dip in a certain hormone that can cause short term depression/anxiety symptoms until it regulates again. Give a doc a call, you'll feel better just being proactive about it. Gl!

  • Hugs! My BFF dealt with anxiety big time. I didn't see her for THREE YEARS because she basically only left the house for work and sometimes that was a chore :(

    Taking care of mama is #1, call that doc!

  • I'm really glad I finally opened this. I've been wondering about PPD and it looks like that could be what's going on with me. I'm still bf'ing, but I got my first pp period. It majorly messed with my hormones. I think ill give my OB a call.

  • Thanks everyone. I wasn't sure if this was something my OB could help me with. I was going to call a doctor today but the day went to shit.

    I had a major meltdown in the middle is the night last night. Poor H was trying to help with C and get me to calm down. Night is the worst.

    @JulieSmiles‌ I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this too. I justhad my first PP period as well and my anxiety sky rocketed after that. Hope you get into see someone soon. ((Hugs))
