Is this ppd or regular depression

It’s been 6 months since I had my daughter.

It was traumatic to say the least.

I was Rear ended and my uterus burst so she was born early.

I have been locked in my home since she got home due to flu season.

I am feeling depressed.

I’ve gained all my weight back I weigh the same as I did when I gave birth.

I have a terrible case of postpartum acne.

And I don’t know if it’s stress or just finally aging but my hair went from 1-2 grays to an extreme amount.

Basically I look like I don’t take care of myself.

And I don’t too much these days because what’s the point?

I don’t leave my house.

I have the worst crying bits when it’s time to go out to a doctors appointment or something necessary like that because I realize how much I’ve let myself go and how bad a shape I’m in.

My clothes look terrible. My hair looks bad. My acne is all I see. Even my children (and they don’t lie) have asked me what’s wrong with my face.

And I cry when they’re not looking.

I know I can eat better and exercise to work on weight... I have started already.

But my skin!

And I can’t hardly leave my house I’m losing it!

I’m just so sad.

I want so badly for my baby girl to be safe. I find myself wishing time could just speed up to when I can do things with her.

She’s my last baby, I should be enjoying her.

That car accident really ruined things. I can’t have children anymore...and now I’m locked in my home wishing that my last baby grow up so I can leave my house.

Pathetic. I feel pathetic.

Can this still be ppd? Or is it a whole other thing?
