emotional ups and downs

I never thought about this pre-op but starting at about five days out (when I quit taking pain meds) I have been very emotional, almost post-partum feeling. Sometimes I get nervous about things with the diet and sometimes its about getting back to normal routine and taking care of my husband and son (I'm a stay at home mom.) When I am feeling this way my mind just seems to race. It's not all day, but more a period of time each day. Each day seems to get a little better, but while I am experiencing it it is sooo scary. Can anybody help? How long does this usually last or how long did it last for you?
