I'm glad you mentioned this, at the time I went through this I felt very much alone and "it's just me".
I should mention though, that I never breastfed in the traditional sense (although my "breastfeeding buddy" would beat me up for saying such a thing!) ... as I pumped for 10 months and after "weaning" - I went through 3-4 weeks of awfulness. Panic attacks, depressions, lethargy, exhaustion.... All I wanted to do was lie on the sofa all day.
So yah. It's not just "traditional" BFers that have to look out for this, but ladies who pump too... let's face it - it's the same process (making and getting rid of milk) just a different technique.
