| With my first, I think by 4 mos or so i started to feel like myself again. With the second, it definitely took longer. I think it is all the craziness of having two young kids and then realizing that your life really is very different and as a result you have to change a lot of things about the way you live and what you find important. I did go back to work at 4 mos but it wasn;t until I stopped BF at 6 that I started to get back to my old self -- there was a definite sense of relief... and by one year, I definitely felt pretty good. |

| Sleeping through the night and weaning will make you feel more like you! Only a few short months away probably! |

| OP here: Thank you all for the thoughtful responses. Initially I thought this was a physical issue but after reading the responses, perhaps, it is about an identity shift. (Yes, DD is my first and only, and I will look at those book recommendations). But I hope to get back to the gym and find other ways for us to get out and about. Thank you again. |
