Does anybody else get this too or am I the only one 😂

Question

Answer

I get it too...it’s terrible 😞

Answer

Yup! I had this Severely. I would literally cry involuntarily for the first minute of pumping and would get very upset still when breastfeeding. I didn’t understand it at first and thought something was just wrong with me. Once I found this, I felt so relieved. 
I’ve actually suffered from diagnosed depression in the past and the only way that I could describe this feeling to my SO was to tell him that during that short time before my LD, it was like I was being brought back to the deepest part of my depression instantaneously. Then, my LD would happen and it would be like the cloud had lifted in those anti-depressant commercials. 
He still tells people how much he hated it because it’s like he could see the life drain from my eyes when it would happen. It would only be worse when my daughter got older and would get distracted while nursing and unlatch and re-latch over and over. He would even start begging her to stop because I would start crying. Id say I got better at managing it, but it still happened every time until she was probably.... 15 months or so? Then it was so minimal that I would notice, but just push through.

Answer

I totally do! I get very anxious and irritated especially when my toddler is all over me I get really angry. And then it passes and I’m fine.

Answer

Yup! And there’s something called breast feeding aversion and agitation that basically fits this description as well. After suffering from some major PPD my doc and I have decided that breast feeding exacerbated my issues so this time around we will be using formula instead.
