What in the hell is wrong with me?

Niki

Am I experiencing post partum depression? I know after the baby and during breastfeeding I still have whacko hormones, but lately I've been feeling off. I just get sad without reason and cry. Plus I feel overwhelmed by everything but baby. I mean sure I get frustrated when she's cluster feeding and wants to eat for the third time in two hours, but caring for her is the only thing that doesn't make me want to just cry, scream into my pillow, and refuse to eat/shower/move for days at a time. I don't feel aggressive. I have no thoughts of harming me, baby, or others...but I just get sad. The kind of sad that happens out of the blue while you're visiting your parents in law, eating your favorite meal. The kind of sad that makes you sit silently and stare off into nothing while they discuss holiday plans. When all you can focus on is the ringing in your ears and this wrenching pain in your gut... I don't know what's wrong, or maybe I do and I'm just too afraid of the answer. Anyway, thanks for reading. Advice and kind words would be extremely helpful.
