Anxiety after Weaning

JC

My 6 month old son has been exclusively breastfed until recently, when I've introduced solids and formula. I have to go back to work soon and have never had good results pumping, so we have finally weaned off the breast (it happened gradually). I thought I would be so happy to have my boobs back to myself, but I have found that since weaning I've experienced extreme anxiety. My heart is racing all day, my mouth salivating constantly, feeling keyed up and just on edge. I also can't sleep at night, even though baby is sleeping through the night in his crib. My chest is always tight and I feel as if the ball is about to drop and something bad is going to happen (not to baby, just a general feeling of dread). Has anyone experienced this? Please help! I would love any advice!
