Weaning and depression. What do I do?

Sarah

I decided I couldn’t take the lack of sleep anymore and I started switching my 8 month old to formula. I think not sleeping for so long, the stress of being a new mom, and starting to wean is really getting to my emotions. I’ve been feeling so sad for a few months now and I just don’t know how to handle it. I kind of always disliked breastfeeding but I continued to do it because I thought it was best for my daughter. I didn’t think I would get so sad from weaning though (I read weaning messes with your hormone levels). Do I talk to my OB about this? Would they even be able to help me? Would I have to make an appointment? I know it’s so silly but even the tiniest thing seems so difficult right now. Any advice would be helpful.
