I just had a baby 2 weeks ago. I've been crying all day everyday until about 3 days ago but still crying. This morning I cried for no reason. Then this afternoon I'm in the doctor's office and I get the urge to break out into song (something I have done while manic in the past). I didn't do it, thankfully, but I then laughed out loud, there in the office, like an ignorant fool. I still feel a little on the goofy side and have too much energy but, again, was busy crying this morning. I am afraid I may be losing my mind again...even typing this is a little hilarious and difficult and I know that mood episodes are common after birth. I don't think I can handle a severe depression again but I really can't handle being manic...it will land me in the hospital because I become psychotic quickly. I can't afford a trip to the hospital because my babies need me. Anyway, just rambling...not even sure the purpose of this post. Just needed to vent and more importantly wondering what to think about crying in the morning and acting insanely in the afternoon? Is it hormones maybe? Is it rapid cycling (something I don't experience)? What gives? Also, I'm a newbie so hello guys.
