I had a baby 3 wks ago. No blues, just elation for the last 3 wks, tempered somewhat by the increased lack of sleep.
Today I went out to a busier part of town than usual and felt overwhelmed by all the people rushing about (I live in London, this should be normal...) and felt extremely odd and almost unable to cope.
This really surprised me - is it normal in contrast to being exhausted and in the house with a new child or is it a sign of something worse?
I have experienced depression years ago, as a direct result of trauma - so I know what its like and I have had no indication that I'm going anywhere near that place.
Anyone had a similar experience?
