Emotional but dont know why

I found the website you are talking about and that describes exactly what I am feeling!! Didn't realise there was an actual term for it!

"Dysphoria is defined as an unpleasant or uncomfortable mood, such as sadness, depressed mood, anxiety, irritability, or restlessness"

=) I didn't know about it too until I accidently came across it. I thought what I was feeling was just me getting use to being a mum. but ive been experiencing it for the last 4 months. some people have found that it fades but mine hasnt yet. the only thing I have found that 'works' is taking a deep breath and just letting it wash over me, and letting it pass. it helps that i know what it is and when to expect it. the worst is when I'm not feeding and get letdown cause Im not expecting it (only happened a couple of times).

It sucks your experiencing it to, but im a little happy there is someone else out there too that i can talk to =) I started a post about it a few months back. let me know how you go. *hugs*

Oh thank you so soo much now that I know what it is as I thought I was starting to get PND to be honest with you. But I realised it usually happened when I breastfed which was why i thought it was hormones.

I also experience it sometimes when Im not BF but it could be like what you said. I also have let downs in between breastfeeds.
