My partner is much better but now my mood is changing...

My partner recently with depression after attempting suicide, he is now much better, he is on medication and has just finished his counselling sessions and has improved greatly.
I supported him through this tough time and although it was very difficult I coped well on the most part and was a real rock for him (his words not mine!)
However now that he is much better I am now starting to struggle and in the last week my mood has changed dramatically. I'm very irritable, crying a lot and generally feeling very down. I
I'm not sure if this is because for so long I had to be the strong positive one and now if everything I went through with him and all that pressure is finally taking its tole on me and this is the first time he's been well in quite a while.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm finding it quite frightening as my mood is so unlike me and I just can't seem to shake it.
Any help, advice or shared experiences would really help, thanks in advance.
