Can you develop PPD/PPA several months pp?

Bex • Life...uh...finds a way 🦖

I'm 6 months pp and it just came out of nowhere. Hit me like a freight train. I was diagnosed with PMDD last week at my OB appointment then I just had my period so PMDD symptoms started to dissipate then BAM I got slammed with depression, constantly crying, feeling like I'm overwhelmed, and anxiety through the roof. With PMDD, it goes away after my period and ovulation, but this time it didn't instead got stronger. I'm waiting for the therapist to call me back today. They told me the only way to treat this is with an anxiolytic or antidepressant since I can't take hormonal birth control or a hysterectomy because it may or may not ever go away or get better (grreeeeeaaatttt news to drop on a hormonal hot mess 🙄). I've been on several antidepressants before and had horrible reactions to almost every single one so that makes me even more nervous.
