5mo pp and I'm still moody/emotional

Anyone else?  I dont know if it is just the stress of being home with the baby all day or what , but I find myself having mood swings several times a week---Actually, I tend to get overwhelmed and take it out on DH  (my poor DH).  I would NOT say Im depressed and would be the first to admit if I thought I was.   I am wondering if breast feeding, hormone changes, the responsibility of being a mom etc. is causing this and if this is pretty common or normal?

    I have overwhelming days too.  I think its just b/c I'm homebound with DD since its RSV season.  My emotional days are when she is being an absolute doll & I'm so amazed shes mine.

    I still was at 5 months pp.  I think the bfing may be part of it.  It will eventually go away, and you will be yourself again.  Of course, I'm back to the moodiness again now...

    I have some emotional days but maybe talk to your ob?  I had PPD (starting to recover :)) so I'm probably not the best to give advice.

    For me it was the breastfeeding doing a job on my hormones that made me an emotional wreck -- all directed toward DH.  I started feeling normal after I stopped bfing -- when she was 15 months!  And that lasted a short time because we started trying for another baby the next month! 

    I'm sorry you feel awful.  It sucks, but it passes.  It really does.

    With my DD I really didn't feel like "myself" until the 1 year mark.  She was colic and I did BF until 7ish months but when I had her 1st bday I remember feeling that everything was finally all good.  She was happier, I was happier and it was great.  Childbirth does a number on our bodies and minds!  I remember at one point looking at my dog and crying thinking about how easy life used to be.  Speaking from having a 4 year old, life is SO much better now, it's just trying many times in the beginning.  Hang in there.
