Hi
Thank you for opening up—it sounds like you’ve been carrying an immense physical and emotional load for a long time, and your body is trying to signal that it’s overwhelmed. What you’re describing is a complex interplay of postpartum hormonal shifts, emotional trauma (especially after an abortion), nutritional depletion, and possibly chronic fatigue or somatization linked with depression or anxiety. Many women face similar struggles, but what makes your case unique is the layering of both physical and mental symptoms—body pain, fatigue, vision changes, irritability, mood swings—all pointing toward systemic burnout. When the body doesn’t recover fully postpartum and is subjected to harsh dieting, overexercise, and stress, it can literally shut down its energy systems.
It makes sense that some doctors have referred you to a psychiatrist—not because “it’s all in your head,” but because chronic emotional strain can show up in the body. The anger, heavy head, fatigue, and pain are very real, and they may stem from a deep nervous system dysregulation. What you may need is an integrative approach: gentle therapy to process grief and rage, possible low-dose medication to stabilize mood and sleep, alongside physical rehabilitation, nutritional support, and lifestyle changes. You’re not broken—you’re just in need of a safe space to start healing, slowly and gently.

Crying spells, heaviness in head after crying, getting irritated easily, mood swings are definitive symptoms of postpartum depression. Body ache, fatigue, decreased energy can be symptoms of depression or other medical causes like anaemia or decreased thyroid etc. Vision change doesn't fit here but you can get it evaluated.
Next Steps
You need to consult a psychiatrist because your symptoms are definitive of postpartum depression.
If fatigue & decreased energy due to depression, will get resolved with antidepressants, otherwise you need to be evaluated for other causes especially decreased thyroid levels.
Better to consult an ophthalmologist because vision change can be a symptom of different conditions (maybe refractory error which is very common or any other cause) which is just occurring along with depression.

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern.
Many mothers after delivery feel in this way. I suggest you to consult therapist and consider techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Tailored strategies to your specific needs with professional psychologist will help you.
In the meantime, consider incorporating calming practices such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation into your daily routine. These techniques can help regulate your body’s stress response. Also, aim to maintain a nutritious diet, engage in light physical activity as tolerated, and prioritize restorative sleep.
