Post Partum Depression

Shayla • ..Mommy of 3 wonderful boys!!
So about a week ago my doctor diagnosed me with postpartum depression. I decline medication at first but went and picked up my prescription reluctantly today and will begin taking it tomorrow. I know a lot of women experience these waves of emotions but I really do feel alone in this due to no one in my immediate circle ever experiencing this. Can anyone lend any helpful words or advice?
