PPA/PPD

So I posted this in the July 2021 group but those ladies aren’t very responsive so I figured I would post this here since you all have been the best! My 2nd baby will be 5 months on Monday and for the last two months or so I’ve just been off - crying a lot, not looking forward to social gatherings, feeling very insecure when amongst friends, anxious when I’m out with my kids that something bad will happen, etc. I literally just want to stay home with my kids all the time, even though my toddler drives me crazy. I went back to work last week and they are both in daycare now. Dropping off my second was harder than my first. I saw my doctor today to discuss PPA/PPD. He listened but he just quickly wrote me a prescription for Zoloft for 6 months and sent me on my way. I talked with my husband (who is super supportive and wholeheartedly just wants me to feel better) and we both agreed that the side effects of Zoloft just seem too extreme. Has anyone here dealt with PPA/PPD and have any advice? I’m not struggling daily - I have a rough day or two and then I’m fine for a few days.
